Weather Change

The Crud is creeping away - slowly. Antibiotic, prednisone, inhaler are all doing their job. Along with cough syrups and rest. The body is able to reset if given enough time and energy to do so.

I went for an eye exam yesterday. So the eye doctor told me I was the patient he actually sees the most. Ahh, as if that was a term of endearment, not. I guess I have been going quite a bit in the last year or so. Macular degeneration - dry eye - blepharitis. Gracious. But the news was good. All those problems are getting better. I do autologous eye drops- they are made from my own blood serum. And the difference is notable he told me. Good thing since they are like gold. Pricey little drops that insurance, of course, will not pay for.

Our weather is starting to moderate. The big snow we had quickly melted and left the barren ground, still mostly frozen. The DES folks stated that the rapid snow melt equaled 1-3 inches of water. That's like a good rain storm here. And good for the ground if some of it managed to sink in. The other good event was no major flooding in the Musselshell River as in years past. Just minor, and some minor flooding of roads and other little problems.

I am working with the publisher of the local paper to learn the distribution of said paper. I still write for the weekly, and now she wants to have help in case for some reason she is out of commission but still needs to get the paper in the mail, in the local outlets. She also wants me to learn the layout and formatting. Sure - glad to help. Love learning new skills.

Isn't it said somewhere you should learn something new every day?
