A Little More Progress

I can't get this photo to flip right side up, so you get to see it vertically! It's been a busy few days, with a couple of doctor's appointments moved up due to other people's cancellations; we try to take advantage of those whenever possible, to cut wait times, but it does cut into my working time! My newest doctor practices in a small town an hour's drive up the Trans Canada Highway from home. I took advantage of that yesterday, driving up on the TCH but coming home via the old highway on the opposite side of the river; I saw an otter at one point! I've never seen a wild otter, and I've been around for quite a few years now.

My eyes have been checked, I have had the preliminaries done for the eye specialist, now it is a three week wait until I get the first consult. In the meantime, I am doing anything requiring the use of my eyes in small doses, and I'm avoiding the really hard work in the corners of the rug until I know what is going on with my eyes.

As I am an avid reader, I'm finding the blurry vision and recurring small headaches a pain (that's a kind of joke!), but I am hoping all will go well; aging does weird things, I'm discovering....

We missed our group (electronic) mini session today, but the Carpenter-in-Chief and I took advantage of the lovely weather earlier this afternoon to take a walk in the nature park not far from our house. It was a perfect temperature for a walk in the woods. Lots of colourful toadstools and fungi, Lots of dogs as there is an off-leash dog-walking trail, as well as a tree I didn't recognize, so I get to do a little research. Our days have been warm, with cool nights, which means that soon the deciduous trees will be turning vivid orange, red and gold. We have until about the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend before all the leaves suddenly drop, and then we await winter. It is supposed to be a wet, stormy one!
