Biting Ants.

J-bob, you may not want to read this one.

This morning I was up early and headed to my eye doctor appointment. I've had this thing in my right eye for more than a year. This was a return visit because it didn't magically go away just because I wished it to. The Doctor is a very sweet guy, and was more than willing to take a hack at it. I asked if there was a gentler approach...say zapping the "feeder veins". He thought that was a good idea, and might even work. He got one of the other doctors, who was flirty to the point of touching my back on his way out, to also take a "second opinion" look. Laser city. I got some numbzit drops, and then the parade of stinging ants began. It really wasn't bad, just green flashes and some stings. Now I have anti-inflammatory drops, and time to heal this thing.

The drive into town was weird and cool. It was perfectly sunny at the house, and just over the ridge I drove into a cloud, a cloud that was keeping town cold and gray. Over, through, and under. On the way home it was starting to lift.

Finished cleaning off the deck.

Took a walk to the mailbox with Poppy. It was about forty degrees, and I was colder than expected. When I said I needed a hat, Poppy suggested that I didn't need hats when I had all this hair. He was sort of right.

Started menu planning for T-giving. FUN.
