If you had to have your vision corrected would you rather: glasses or contacts? Or what do you use if you need to have your vision corrected?
I’ve had readers for over a decade now, solely for sewing and fine print…Lately, though, I have entered the age of blur. I do fine with lit screens, but I pretty much cannot read paper or whatnot without my glasses.
I expect I’ll get new glasses this year.
If you had to describe your day as a traffic sign, what would it be?
SLOW
I did not sleep well last night. I have a lot to do today, so I’m high on the Pepsi and still not at full speed.
Was school easy or difficult for you? How so?
School was easy for me. I coasted. I respond well to structured environments with consistent expectations. I enjoy learning and thinking.
I struggled with algebra, but I made it through eventually. They don’t let you go to college without passing four semesters of algebra. It took me six.
Would you rather take a 1 or 2 week vacation with an organized tour or take a cruise of your choice?
Terrible choice. Tours mean groups of people and a schedule. Ick. Ick. Cruises mean boats and sea monsters. Oh the horror.
…
Maybe, and I do mean maybe, with enough alcohol, I might could enjoy one of those river cruises where you eat and photograph your way through Europe. Maybe. I’d probably sleep with a life jacket on. Maybe I could convince The Mister to wear one of those harpoon gun thingies. Those cruises do look lovely. I know my life though, and I would totally be on the one boat that gets eaten by a giant sea monster.
People would ask, “Who’da thunk it?” and I’d be wavin my specter arm, “ME! I THUNK IT!”
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
Okay, so y’all know I do not love warm weather and while it was hard to sleep in the heat (74) I did enjoy the bright, warm weekend that permitted me to start gardening! Plants! Seeds! Dirt! Yay! I really enjoyed the after part — The Mister pulled our chairs out into the freshly-mown yard. We sat there with our swate tay, just takin it all in. Ah, soft green grass!
(I’d be remiss not to mention — In a neighborhood full of flowers and flowering trees — Where did the ONE yellow jacket land? On my shoulder!)
This week should be typical, and for that, I am also grateful.

I think I’m breaking the cardinal rule of southern Indiana and going to plant our garden BEFORE the KY Derby. I need to do something since I let a tiller whoop my ass all weekend!

Oh boy. I let The Mister off the hook with the tiller until he wraps up his semester. I’ve got three new beds to sow after that.
I only planted the early crops. You gonna put flowers in? Before Mother’s Day? :O

I would like an organized tour w/out the people. Do you carry an epi-pen? Damn, I hate yellow-jackets, too.

I do usually carry an epi-pen, but I was pretty irresponsible/ too cheap last year. I have different insurance now, so I’ll find out what it’s like this summer. If it’s $215, I’ll take my chances on the ER.
A personal tour would be fabulous 🙂 I could manage that for a short time, probably not an entire week, though.

I was sitting peacefully in my chair time location when bees flew around me. I tried to get a picture, but I am not as talented as you. I got up and watched as the bees went into holes in my house. Carpenter bees are as unwanted as yellow jackets. I thought you were writing about honey bees. My bad!

I would take a cruise every year if budget permitted! I find them the most relaxing, enjoyable vacation, and I’ve never seen one sea monster. But I know they are not for everyone. I would also go for “contact” since I would walk into walls without mine in. I now, however need readers as well so that’s a bit of a pain! Hope the bees leave you alone!

I hated Algebra, so you can imagine my disgust when they tossed me into an Algebra class a few years ago. I could grasp the concepts but the math teacher allowed the kids to be loud and disruptive so it was even more difficult for me and the students who also have ADHD.
