Again, I have stayed awake longer than I should have. My bedtime on a Monday should have been a little over an hour before sitting down to write this. It was a rainy day, but there are things-other than rain- to be happy about. My day started with a walk with Aesop, the dog. It was raining steadily then, and we didn't walk for long. It was a good walk though. Other happy things:
- Planning out my day this morning I was ready to go dig dirt and plant bulbs in the rain. It was then that I saw the reminder on my phone about my appointment with the optometrist. Instead of playing in mud, I woke up Keziah, took a shower, and we headed to the appointment. They had to dilate my eyes and I wanted Keziah to drive me home. This was a follow-up exam from six weeks ago and all the tests came back good.
- Later in the afternoon Keziah and I took Aesop for a walk on a nearby paved rail trail. Aesop hasn't been the best behaved lately. He was doing better though towards the end of the walk. Progress is good.
- I was wearing dark sunglasses for the walk because of the earlier dilation of my eyes. I took a few pictures and just now, looking at them, they came out pretty well. There was detail missing with my eyes being the way they were, the camera did a good job.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
