More comfortable

bill_schubertI'm easing back into doing things. Technically I'm still barred from doing much of anything until I see the doc on Friday but I can feel that my eye is settled and quickly healing so I'm moving with less care and more confidence. I'm still wearing the eye cover at night so I don't scratch but fortunately my eye does not itch so I'm not too concerned.
Since my right eye has always been my best for long distance vision I don't see much change and doubt I will. But I can see out of it now and things are in focus so I'm back to double eye'd vision which is nice.
The entire process was way more than I'd anticipated. But it is behind me and it appears that all is well.
Tomorrow my two granddaughters, 17 and 15 year old women, arrive for a couple of days. They go back on Thursday. It will be more time by far than I've ever spent with either of them. The visit is the brain child of my son's fairly new wife and is a really considerate thing to do.
Apparently the two of them like museums and bookstores and dinosaurs. We have the Blanton museum in Austin, one of the best book stores in the U.S., Book People and the Whole Foods mother ship complete with an amazing cafe full of every kind of food one might desire, right between the two. So that is the plan on Tuesday.
I'd like to take them to the Waco dinosaur museum. It is a dig that is still in progress albeit very slowly as funds are available. A bunch of mamoths got stuck in a flood and died in a patch of water than turned into mud trapping them and saving them for us to see. It is a facinating place but is nearly an hour and a half north of us. I'm a bit concerned about that much car time. Three hours round trip. I did just check, though, and there is a Buc-ees half way between the two so maybe it would be worthwhile. It may be a time for a vote.
The alternative would be a day in downtown Georgetown which has a lovely mid 19th century square and nice shops. And a trip to the boot store. That might be better.
Fortunately both of them want steak and barbeque and I've been tasked with providing the best Texas has to offer. I think we can find some.
It is weird that it is two days. They leave at 1:45 on Thursday so not much to do that morning. We'll have to leave the house at 10:30 or so. On the one hand that is so short that it is destined to leave us all wanting more. On the other hand that is probably a good strategy.
It is going to be exceedingly weird to be in a house, even for a couple of days, peopled by all females. Well, actually, Beaux, Toby and me vs the three women. Still.
I'll give my my office as a place they can spread out to. Also weird. But manageable for a couple of days.
The weather will be cool and perfect for whatever we want to do.
And two weeks following full of stuff to do that requires thought and action.
Finally starting on the 10th things will be dull, uneventful, and perfect for a few weeks.
