It has been snowing again. Winter is still with us.

I went and did a little shopping this morning. Cold and beautiful outside. I enjoyed my shopping trip so much that when I got back to my apartment I put my goods away and grabbed my camera and went back outside for a little walk. I can’t remember the last time I went outside and walked in the snow just for the heck of it. Just for pure enjoyment. Nowhere to go and nothing to do. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Just outside in the snow. Like the good old days. It was very nice.

I made a video. youtube.com/watch?v=c0j-Xuf24F4. Nothing outstanding. Just a little walk around the block, with a little music. But it was good for me.

Yesterday I went to the eye doctor to have the cataract treatment results looked over.

My regular eye doctor was closed for the holidays, so I had to go to another one. Luckily there’s another one (if not more) downtown. So it was just five minutes longer on the bus. And the checkup took a minute or two. Nothing of interest to be noted. The new eye doc had no information on me, so I had to explain my situation all over. She asked how much vision I had left and I guessed it would be 10-20% on the left eye. We did a test. I could read the 10% line, I could almost read the 20% line. So probably around 15%. It was probably like 5% before the last treatment. And that is of course on one eye. So I don’t have 15% left, I have 15% of 50%. That’s not a lot. But I’m glad I got that little bit extra. It makes many things just that little bit easier. It means a lot. And I am still happy about that.

After the eye doc I stopped by the goats and said hello. It’s so darn cold that when I’m forced to be outside, I might as well take advantage of it and go see them. I didn’t stay too long, but it was good to see them. Just hearing them baah when I arrive always makes me feel good. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I see them again. Because of the holidays. But at least I still have the keys to the place if I really feel the need for a goat fix.

It could happen.
