Hello,
I have a bruise on the side of my finger. No idea how I got it. Banged it on the bedside table while I was asleep? Also, it's getting harder and harder to take out my contacts. I think my eyes are getting squintier. The right one is not a problem, but I have trouble getting the left one open enough to take out the lens every night. I've worn them for many years, since I was 18? Eye doctors used to tell me I would have to stop wearing them at some point to give my eyes a rest, but nowadays they don't. I've known people who said, "I have to take my lenses out now," and switch to their glasses. I can't see properly with my glasses. I only have them because my current doctor insisted that I get an updated pair. I wear them between taking out my lenses and getting in bed and vice versa. When I read in bed (on my little cell phone these days), I hold the phone close to my face and don't need them. My father used to tell me it was bad for me to read in bad light, or read so much. I thought it was a myth that it would weaken my eyesight. Maybe it made me squint too much and now my old muscles can't hold my eyelids up. I'm sure there is surgery for that. The idea is amusing and terrifying.
Yesterday, I engaged a lawyer to help with the closing on our house. His name is Sherf. Do you think that's a real last name? We met him when he helped Molli add Michael to the deed for her house. She is a lawyer, so I trust her judgement. I hope he is not sketchy. I guess there are sketchy lawyers out there. The inspection is scheduled for Sunday. I told Tamara on the phone last night. She seemed genuinely happy for us and appreciative that she has 2 months to save and plan to get her own place.
Polly Face-Timed me. She was with Declan and he wanted to talk to me and say happy Patturday. He may call this morning to figure out how to play a game online, although by now I would have been at his house for an hour. I talked to Polly and Dad and Molli. Dad was pretty exhausted from his 3 days with Polly. Molli had made roast chicken, but she said the weather was too warm for roasting a chicken--she opened a window. It was a few degrees warmer there than here. I was wearing a hat and they teased me about it. I got that habit from Amelia. She is always bundled up, with hats and cowls. It's not really that I was cold, it's just nice to feel cozy.

After our brief Face Time, I was really sad the rest of the evening. I miss them all, even my Dad. Of course, if I were there, I would not spend any more time with them than I do now with Amelia. I love her dearly, but she and Kevin are pretty quiet compared to the raucousness of the Lynn crowd. Not that Michael is really rowdy either. I guess it's just the difference between Molli and Amelia's personalities. Lots of up and down drama with Molli. Come to think of it, Amelia is pretty stressed too. Maybe we all need to take up meditation. (I misstyped at first and put medication).
Exciting news from yesterday? I found a salad spinner in a second hand store (New and Nearly New) for $1.50. There was one I liked better for $2 more--it was exactly the same except it had a green top. After he used it for the first time, he discovered it has holes in the bottom. It's meant to be used over a sink or something. Never saw one like that before. No biggie, just had to clean up a small puddle of water on the counter and floor. I also bought a medium-size glass canister. Not exactly what I was looking for, but might hold most of the oats. I didn't want the plastic ones they had. I'm sure I'll find some one of these days.
