First Saturday

Bill and I drove from Phoenix last week end. I am using a home that belongs to Annie's friend's grandmother who is now in assisted living. The yard is surrounded by a tall wall and is landscaped in a lovely way. There are three sliding doors opening into the courtyard. Two have no curtains or shades which provides a lot of light. I will soon add some pictures.

Bill flew home Tuesday after helping me set up my computer and the work computer.
I have spent a lot of hours working but find the network at work pretty slow. There are still bugs to work out. There is no TV here which discourages long hours of couch potatoing, but I do want to get one. Just haven't shopped yet. This morning, I got a Phoenix radio station KTAR from their website. They kept predicting a high of 105 today. Tsh tsh. Annie, Tess, and I went to the farmers market where they have field fresh produce; peaches, berries, even beets looked good.

Since I am not in the office with the candy jar and cafeteria, I am having sensible lunch with lots of fruit. No body to talk to on the way to the printer, bathroom or just walking around. So far, I have been able to spend hours working with only water in water out breaks.

The eye doctor in Phoenix sent me to his buddy in Santa Rosa for a test to see how my Age Related Macular Degeneration is doing. They need to provide treatment as soon as possible if it is the "wet" kind with blood vessel involvement. My problem is still the dry kind, but one eye has a minute bump on my retina which is interfering with central vision. There is no treatment. The problem can get better, worse, or stay the same. Of course all the doctors tell me I am too young for this type of eye problem, but my eyes don't know that. They tell me the tendency to have it is genetic.

If you like my blog, let me know. It looks like I can create a e-mail list to advise you when I post something new.
