Yesterday was fun, enjoyed spending time with my friend. Had Japanese food, which is my favorite. Then went shopping for a new suit for my friend. We then went to the grocery story to get some things she had forgotten when she placed her order the other day. I love helping her out.
However, today, my friends, is my down day. Although I had a few things I needed to complete before my hubby came home, I plan to relax as much as possible. Spirits are high and ambition is on the rise. I have many things I want to accomplish this week, so downtime is a must to get ready. Well, at least for me it is a must. :) Hubby wants to grill something for dinner tonight so I got chicken for BBQ Chicken, potato salad, and corn on the cob. I might make a quick run to the grocery store again and maybe grab a different veggie, but I haven't decided just yet.
Happy Father's day to all the fathers out there and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Friend time...
I am off to spend some time with a friend whom I haven't seen in about a month. We have lots to catch up on and lots to discuss. She has been a friend for some time now and I really enjoy hanging out with her. I am excited and overjoyed when I get to see her. She always makes me laugh, but she will also listen and not judge me or make me feel like I always have to be strong.
If you have a friend like this, treasure them. They don't come along every day.

Update - eye condition
Had my follow up appointment after the last injection. On the upside, the swelling is down again. On the downside, the cataract is worse and actually causing color discoloration in my eye now. The plus to this downside is it can be corrected.
I will still have to continue the injections, but the silver lining to this is I will never have to worry about cataracts in my left eye once I have the surgery. I have my consultation set and should be having the surgery within the next five to six weeks.
The million dollar question is still why this has happened? Still, has no answer and I don't think it ever will. It just is what it is.
The goal of the surgery is to assist in allowing me to gain back as much vision in my left eye as possible. Due to the cataract, there is no way to know how much vision is possible when the swelling is down. However, there is now scaring from two laser procedures done, so unsure what will happen once the cataracts are removed, or I should say more accurately is once the lens is replaced.
Did any of you know there are different replacement lenses to choose from? I sure didn't, but I do now. I haven't looked at the information as of yet, but it should be interesting.

Working the Market
Hello all, I have been working on creating a website for myself. I have not found this to be an easy task and am still learning. I have the beginning, now I just need to keep working on getting the finished product.
Click the link below and take a look at what I have started and feel free to email me your thoughts, suggestions or any questions you might have regarding my books. I will eventually create my own store on the site for purchasing my books. But for now, the links will take you directly to CreateSpace to purchase the books.

End of School Year
Every year I used to dread this time of year because it meant the question, "What to do now?" My kids would leave me for the summer to visit their dad and I would be left on my own. Now for the first couple weeks, it would be hard and I would become a workaholic. However, after those initial weeks, I would start going and hanging out with friends and finding things to keep myself busy.
Now my kids are grown and have left home so this time of year just simply means no work since I have become a substitute teacher as a job. The great part is I will have plenty of time to write, do corrections, and design my covers and get them ready. The bad part is I will still have to get over the whole not having anywhere to be since school will be out.
I don't know about you all, but for me staying in the house and not leaving is not healthy for me. I enjoy being around people and hanging out with friends. Durning the week hanging out with the friends won't be so easy because they all work. So I will just have to make myself follow a schedule, is anyone laughing at that statement. I know I am, I don't ever stick to a schedule, I don't know how, nor is it in my personality to do so. :)
Whatever you all have planned for your summer months I hope you have a lot of fun and spend it with the ones you love and cherish. Be sure to drop in on friends and family you haven't seen in a little while and let them know they matter.
Have a great summer everyone!!!
