how's your week going, Beehaw
how's your week going, Beehaw
pretty quiet week this week if you ignore whatever the hell is going on with our bathroom toilet, which has a diagnostic issue we can't troubleshoot and which has flooded once this week. calling maintenance once again to see if we can figure this out so i don't have to plunge every third time we flush (ironically it'd be way easier if we just had to plunge every time--but it's the times we don't that make this extremely bizarre)

Getting ready to go to my annual eye exam. My eye pressure is high enough that it needs annual monitoring, though I'm hoping to still be in the range where it's not something I'll need to manage with medication.
We replaced our couch over the weekend; it was a hand me down from my mother in law that wasn't really all that comfortable for our body shapes. The new one is much kinder to our backs, matches the dining furniture, and has a storage bay built into it to help with the floor space. The pup made a stink about losing his recliner that matches the old couch, mean mugging us until we brought his couch from the office out so he could still sit and watch nature tv. The cat took it immediately, but decided to share after a while.
Yes... eye pressure... me too. I have to go in periodically for an OCT and field. Hoping same. Best of luck.
You have my sympathy, friend. Hopefully your next appointment goes as well as mine did - not only is the pressure the lowest measured since starting my annuals, but my nearsightedness improved and my prescription doesn't need to be as strong! Don't get me wrong, they'd still be "coke bottle" lenses if it weren't for high index polycarbonate, but it's still a win in my book.
Actually my last visit last year had pretty good eye pressure. Hoping it is a trend not an anomaly. Just annoying, time consuming, and expensive to have to track as closely. Plus when your border line for maybe 5 years you wonder when things might get worse.
Edit: My vision has been improving with age too for awhile now at least in terms of optical power.
Because of the monitoring nature of the exams, I'm able to submit the exam cost to my health insurance to cover what vision insurance doesn't. This might be something you're able to do as well to help defray some of the associated costs.
And here's hoping lower pressure is a trend for both of us going forward!
Yay for comfier relaxation time, though I feel your pup is still glowering, even though you organised something suitable for
youhim. Probably just because you have the camera out, but am having fun with a little story about him ensuring his humans don't try rearranging things without his permission in future.All the best with the eye checkup!
Yeah he's definitely still scowling a bit - that's his couch for napping on when I'm doing my office work, during which the cat was in my lap and he had the couch to himself. I'm not certain he appreciates having to share it now that it's in a different room. And you're not far off! The rest of the rearranging was done with him getting on every piece that was being moved as if to say "you'll have to get rid of me too, hooman".
Thanks! Eyes are in relatively good shape!
aussie friend! mine does the exact same pose/expression on the couch, hehe.
