My lovely wife finally got to see a doctor yesterday about her eye. Got to see two doctors actually as the first one sent her somewhere else to get a second opinion. And, the two doctors had different opinions. So, we shall see what happens with that.
First one gave her several prescriptions for allergies and such, thinking the eye problem was caused by allergies.
Second doctor gave her some other prescriptions, their opinion is that my wife has somehow managed to get pink eye. Don't know how that would happen, nor why none of the rest of the household has gotten it, i believe pink eye is very contagious. But then, I am not a doctor, what do I know?
At any rate she has a new eye patch to wear to help keep the bright lights away from that eye and she will be getting her meds soon so she can take those and, hopefully, the eye problem will go away.

Blindness
The cold that should have been simple turned into the cold from hell. First the two females caught it then they passed it along to me. A simple cold, no big deal, right? Wrong!
I got the cold and it went to my eyes. I could hardly see or stand to be at the computer for any length of time. I had a very rough time doing my game site work because it is all basically reading chat. Ugh. It lasted for two days and got better. Unfortunately I passed the cold back to my wife.
Yesterday she could not open her eye at all. Today it is slightly better but she is still blind in that eye due to the cold and all the teariness. She cannot do her shift work and is lucky to be able to see her way around anywhere in the house.
Hopefully she will be better tomorrow. She has plans to go see a doctor in the morning...

Old Age
Watching some of the people on Facebook vent their politics can be humorous. They all are young and idealistic and they make me laugh. Most of them will stick with their ideals for a few years then drop them like a bad habit once they hit the real world of family raising and work and good things like that.
I am old, some days I am very, very old. I still follow the same convictions i did in my youth. I was a hippie then and I am a hippie today. I watched the hippies shun money and power in the sixties then watched in horror as most of them went from hippies to Yuppies, chasing the Almighty Dollar they swore they hated and driving themselves around in BMWs. What happened to these people?
I grew up poor and now that I am old I am still poor. In the years in between I managed to spend forty years working, never getting rich nor ever caring if I did. Sure, I'd daydream about winning the lottery like everyone else. But, I never won and it didn't concern me.
I raised five stepchildren along with two wives and we always managed to survive on my salary and my wife's salary. We didn't live high on the hog but we did okay. The kids had food and clothing and shelter and schooling so all went well there.
I am sixty one years old and poor as can be. I do not chase after the Almighty Dollar but I don't pass one up if I see it either, like when I write blog posts for others on here. It isn't a lot of money but any extra money is always a good thing, even for an old hippie like me.
The older and sicker I get it seems like the more I think about being mortal. If there is one thing I can take to the grave with me it is the satisfaction that I lived my life on my terms as much as possible and no one else could force me to change. Sure, I paid attention to whatever my bosses told me to do, I wasn't stupid lol But, all things considered I am the same person at sixty one that I was at eighteen.
Set your priorities in order, follow them with all your heart and gusto and the end result will be that you get old and find that you are happy.

Wedding Photos
Wedding days are special, not only for the bride and groom but also for those that are family and friends of the new couple. And of course every couple wants memories of that special day which is why they hire photographers to take pictures. I've been to a number of weddings and had my photo taken and I hope that when couples look back at their pictures and see me there sharing the joy of the day they smile and remember me.
Many times the wedding photographer is the busiest person at the church, making sure that they get all the family pictures and get photos of the bride and groom with those family members and the bridesmaids and best man, and the list just seems to go on and on.
But there is also a wedding photographer philadelphia that takes a more subtle approach, capturing the great day as it unfolds, trying to bring a calming approach to what is otherwise a very hectic day.
I went through his portfolio and snapshot pictures and they are simply amazing. He captures the wedding, sure, but he also manages to capture the real people and the events of the wedding. Wedding photos often look too perfect, like the people are models but this gentleman captures them while they are being themselves.
There is, for instance a photo of a groom hanging out with his buddies before the wedding and they are laughing, sharing a joke, looking real and genuine. My favorite was a picture of a father looking at his daughter in her bridal outfit and just looking human, looking like he is happy for his child but still worried (there is a slight frown that only a parent would understand) like any parent would be worried.
If you like looking at wedding photos go check them out for yourself. If you are planning a wedding then you really must go see this man's work. Hire him for your wedding and get fantastic memories of the big day that will truly bring joy to your faces as you live happily ever after.
