NIPS, NODS, AND ORTS

·       Pancreatic cancer in the news again.  The magical Aretha Franklin dead at 76, says the Washington Post.  A dear friend of the 80’s, Ida May, had Pancreatic cancer as did my special OD friend, Seedys..  My first husband died of it too.  Gel, from OD and Prosebox, was diagnosed yesterday.  Another blogger, Ronnie Bennett of Time Goes By is dealing with it every day.

·       I study every day.  Out of frustration, I found the California Drivers book online and have been reading it.  I’ve not been doing really well on the practice tests, but I persevere.

·       Today was the eye doctor’s appointment.  After the first batch of tests, I was greatly saddened.  My right eye had worsened.  The doctor did more checking, and With one new lens, my eye will see in the normal range.  I will meet the DMV parameters of 20/40.   I can’t tell you how that exciting that was to hear.
