NEW GLASSES ~ 1st Major Purchase, Solo Lobo

I was up at sunrise … it still feels weird to be keeping “Bob hours”; but kinda nice too, to experience something he always enjoyed.

A flock of doves flew past the house and startled me when several of them tried to fly through the livingroom windows: their expressions looked as equally startled as mine. Thankfully, none of the kamikaze birds will killed – their breasts will ache for a while, but they seemed to flap away pretty okay.

I had an optometrist appointment at 11:30 A.M. this morning … and a wait in the parking lot to be called inside, but no mask required: so, I was okay with that – the temperature in the car was not stifling. I am glad I got the appointment today because wildfire smoke is expected to circulate back around this way, as well as temperatures in the upper 70’s & 80’s all week: I would not have been able to sit in the car later this week.

I hadn’t been to Dr. Tack’s Office in decades.

But …

Cascade Eye Care was being an ass about the masks issue; so I closed my account there – and went back to Longview Eye & Vision; they are considerably more expensive, but they are willing to work with me concerning masks and asthma complications.

I appreciated that, so they got my business; and the $$$$.

Dr. Tack's Office in Complex Dr. Jeff designed.

I had to wait in the car for about 10 minutes – during which time, a clipboard with info papers/pen was brought out to me to fill out.

I filled out 1 Info Paper (Name, birthdate, ect.) … ignored the Insurance Info Paper: I stopped buying Insurance in 2010 when obama/pelosi forced obamacare through; I pay a hefty refusal fee every tax year, but it’s worth it to me to stand on principal, and uphold my sense of morals; and I refused to fill out what I consider a governmental racist information sheet: NONE of THAT was necessary to get my eyes checked out, or to purchase a new pair of glasses.

The eye exam, itself, went well.

I have a GOOD Husband in Yeshua; He makes everything a “good report”.

The exam report was GOOD NEWS: Dr. Jeff said that the prescription Cascade Eye Care had given me 3 years ago was “too strong”, and that the difference was “significant”. Also, my eyes were checked thoroughly by Dr. Jeff, and there was NO mention of the ‘macular degeneration’ the doctor over at Cascade had scared me with – that doctor literally TOLD ME I would be “blind in 6 years”. I remember crying all the way home, and calling the girls to let them know. That was 14 years ago.  Aside from normal aging concerns, my eyes are doing better than anticipated. I choose to believe that Elohim is answering my prayers – as I prayed them … and beyond what I had hoped to hear 😉

I ordered new glasses; they will arrive in 2 – 3 weeks.

One more thing (my pretty 3-year-old glasses) I am letting go of that Bob shared in … one more thing I am learning to do on my own – and hoping I am doing correctly. I want to be sure I asked for all the bells-and-whistles Bob would have been sure to make sure I got; I want to be wise in how I send the $$$$ Bob planned in provision for me.

I did this today without the threat of tears blinding me.

I am keeping these glasses – they represent a good memory.

I love you, Babe ~ Always/OX

Bob was already very ill … there were no clues: none.

I am healing.

I am gaining strength and confidence.

The new glasses I purchased this afternoon are not as colorful as the ones being replaced, but they are more colorful than how they are shown in this picture.

SPENDY! Quite a bit more than I would have paid at Cascade Eye Care; and not as flamboyantly colorful as the pair I got with Bob in 2017.

The new glasses are tortoiseshell and plum; the plum changes to a cobalt blue when the light hits it ‘just right’.

They aren’t as cute as the ones Bob inadvertently {chose} for me – but they’ll do.

Cat-eye-glasses work for me; they don’t for some people, but they do for me. I think they work for me, because I have high cheek bones that rounded frames dig into … cat-eye’s just ‘kinda ride and flow 😉

Also, being able to get them on colorful frames now, instead of the standard black; is a boost, too.

And I LIKE tortoiseshell glasses, so I was happy to see these!

I hope Bob will like them too, when he sees me wearing them.

I know that Bob’s spirit still lives.

I don’t know if thoughts of me even cross his mind anymore; life beyond the clouds is so different from what it was here on Earth.

But, it comforts me to hope.
