🎵 I can see clearly now 🎵

July.  Can't believe half the year has passed.  I have had a lot going on these past few weeks so the planned June update just didn't happen. 

Something New:  The cataract surgery finally happened.  What a miraculous change. Honestly, I was so anxious about the surgery because it's my eye 😬 ! But all went well.  For what it's worth, if you are extremely nearsighted as I am, it's a life changer.  The left eye was done first making me farsighted.  Knocking a lens out of my old glasses didn't work for me though.  Being farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other made me non-functional. I couldn't drive, read, use a computer or crochet.  #sadface

I could watch a movie from across the room, letting my new eye take over for clarity.  That's it.  I missed reading very much and am about to start back soon.  They scheduled the right eye surgery the following week as I was a sorry case.  Now I am healing and taking it slowly using a computer so I don't strain my new eyes.  So if you haven't heard from me and I haven't linked up with you - this is why.

Pet News: Last month Aja was stricken with Vestibular syndrome and needed medical treatment.  That was a bit of anguish to our nerves and wallet.  But she is well now, thankfully.

Sharing recipes: A shout out to Carole at Carole's Chatter for trying the Oregano Lemon Chicken.  Glad you enjoyed it!
Prior to my surgery I posted about Hawaiian Chicken and was planning to link up with Beth Fish Reads Weekend Cooking series.  But I couldn't see or use the computer so....no linkup.  If you want the recipe it's HERE.  It's good!  Soon I will be linking with Sherry's In My Kitchen for July.  That's coming up/

Watching:  We had more TV time this past month. We watched Everest and it was excellent.  It's the second time we have watched it and this lead to Doug and I both reading Into Thin Air by Jon Kraukauer. 
Disappointments were The Kidd with Chris Pratt Captain Marvel.  We had looked forward to those and they were just Meh. 
Cold Pursuit with Liam Neeson was surprisingly good with some dark humor.  We almost sent it back to the library without watching it as I thought it would be a rerun of his other movies. 
We also watched Master and Commander and an interesting documentary about The Egg with David Attenborough.

Reading:  I finished Kate Morton's The Distant Hours but I had started that one in May.  In June, prior to surgery Doug and I read Into Thin Air and I read Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce and The Tuscan Secret.

That's was June and now we move on to hot, hot July.  

I'll be visiting around here and there in the near future.
