I headed to work with a skip in my step, not only because the sun was out, but also because I would soon be walking back out the door of my office. I scheduled both my doctors' appointments on the same afternoon & while that certainly doesn't sound very exciting, I was happy with the fact that I was leaving work at noon & my first appointment wasn't until 2:15pm. So, off I headed in the bright sunlight to Discovery Park--the lawn in front of the Daybreak Star Center. This has always been a favorite spot of mine, more so now because we were married on it! With the sun warm on my neck, & the birds & floatplanes humming overhead, I relaxed & wrote & thought. As I sat there, I could hardly think of any other place that I'd rather be right then.
I reluctantly left the park & headed to my optomotrist appointment. I was very happy to discover that not only has my genetic eye condition not gotten any worse, it is actually a little better! After making a comment to my doctor about the difficulty of always needing hard lenses to see (one of the aspects of my eye condition) he asked me the last time I had tried glasses. I stopped wearing them because contacts are the only thing that fully corrects my vision & I have always thought that glasses would not do enough. He showed me what I would see with just glasses & I was amazed! It's good enough that I can even drive, much less read & watch movies. So, I got the thrill of picking out new frames--they are so cute! I'll be sure to post a photo when I get them next week.
I left there, took a nice little tour of Ravenna Gardens on Queen Anne & had a little walk near Greenlake before my next doctor appointment (ok, so the whole day wasn't completely lovely, as this was my annual--but, good to hear my doctor say that I am in excellent health).
After that, I headed to Ballard for a little visit with Alan & the kitties.
I got home & Levi & I headed out for our second round of car shopping--our VW wagon has had lots of little problems & we need something with more ground clearance & AWD for our outdoor adventures. Look what we got!!
Not the greatest photo, but it's the best I could do, as we got home from the dealership around 10pm. I am so happy! It's a 2003 Subaru Outback--and we got such a deal!
Thanks for letting me share all my good-day-giddiness with you, friends.
So much to be thankful for!
head off to California (we'll miss you!)
