  In loving memory

Dear Friends,  On Friday Ed and I lost a dear friend whom we've both known since our high school days.  For many years she suffered from  COPD and for the past several years was on oxygen full time 24/7.  She had frequent hospitalizations with pneumonia and other complications.  She suffered greatly but is now at peace in God's arms.  She has a son and daughter and many friends who will go through their journey of grief along with her family.  "Grief is the price we pay for love."  Her memorial service will be held March 28 in the church she loved so much.

Tomorrow and for a few days, it is supposed to be very warm, will see.  Yesterday, sunny and pleasant.

I spent 1/1/2 hours inside the DMV yesterday to get my license renewal.  The info online implied that one must get an ID, so I ordered a certified birth certificate and got many papers together.  When I got to the window, I was told I did not have to get an ID if I didn't want one, so I didn't.

Of course, I didn't sleep Wednesday night, so eyes were a bit blurry, felt awful, but not the first time I have had to go somewhere after a sleepless night.  I slept wonderfully last night off and on from 6 until noon today, could have stayed in bed and done the same all day.

I knew I wouldn't pass the eye test, though I could read lines, but when asked to read with just my left eye, told her it was mess, surgery is due this year, so was given a form and will have to go back after surgery,  I was given a two-month temporary license, doubt I will have an appointment for the surgery by then, what a pain.  The eye clinic is a zoo, no one returns calls, so will stay on the phone until I have been given a date for surgery.

I was to see my cardiology Doctor on Thursday, fortunately, I checked for messages and found one only after I was almost ready to go, to hear that the appointment was cancelled, could I come in on Friday, told her no due to another appointment.  Last evening, he phoned as I am not able to do a video conference, so will now have to add an EKG and another blood test to the yearly tests I get, in May when I see my PC.

He mentioned ablation again, don't know why since as long as the med works, no need for surgery.  I am sure at some point the med will stop working, but I am not going for surgery as long as it is working. I couldn't discern much of what he was saying as he had a bad case of laryngitis.

It will be nice not to have the heat on when the weather warms as it will bring down the atrocious power bill.  We use the heat in the bedroom and kitchen only until we leave those rooms, and for a short while in the den in the mornings, and DH uses a heater bought here instead of the room heater, and the bill was $900, over $1,000 when DD and fiance were here.  I can't even imagine what a family of more than two people using all rooms in the house would pay monthly.

Hoping everyone has a pleasant weekend.

@mousiegirl I'm sorry your eye was bothering you so much taking the eye test. Plus having to return so soon.  Then the Drs appointments and scheduling is a nightmare!

   I have to renew my license in October. The last time the DMV in town was closed.i had to go to the next city, then find it. The clerk didn't wipe that machine off well and I hated to get near it. I couldn't hear her instructions which line to read and the machine kept culturing off. 
   She called the supervisor and she asked if I wear readers which I do sometimes but I don't understand why readers are necessary to drive. Things are at a distance! Since the cataract surgery at night I see circled around stoplights. The letters in the machine are similar. I dread returning! 
    I hope all works out for you!
