It's been a long, unfruitful day. I found out for sure that my old credit woes still haunt me even though it's been nearly fifteen years since I used a credit card. It's okay. I'm better off without the credit cards. One Visa debit card allows me most of the privileges of a credit card. The good part is that I gotta have the money in the bank or it's no good.
I got a real slack attitude toward big business. It's like nobody is responsible and everybody is passing the buck. I just found out that my $500 camera I bought about three years ago is kaput. I'd hardly used it. I was told that was the problem. I didn't use it enough to keep it healthy. The shutter doesn't do what it's supposed to do anymore, and it would cost more money to fix it than to buy a new one.
The ride up to Raleigh started out to be a way to get outta town and all the familiar places. That's hard to do. I've been everywhere but the stars up above, and I feel like i've been up there too. It's true. This is hardly a place within a thousand miles I haven't been to or through many times over. I can't drive to just about anywhere in the continental United States without a map. I don't know much about streets.
The cataracts in my eyes were really evident this afternoon when the Sun shone from the west. The glare was so bad I could read the signs of the streets or the buildings. I had to stop a couple of times to get direction. I felt real old and ridiculous.
My eyesight is the biggest problem I have presently. It may have gotten worse simply because the ophthalmologist told me the cataracts were bloomed far enough that they had to be replaced with lens. I have an appointment on the second of December with the surgeon. Even then it'll take some time before he actually operates.
I'm hoping that getting the cataracts removed will help me not only to see better, but to be able to pass the drivers license visual test. The last time I took it the lady there just let me slide. I had a new pair of glasses and I still couldn't see well enough to legitimately pass the test. I've still got a couple of years on my current drivers license. I'm in hope that the surgeon will be able to replace at least the right eye cataract before the New Year.
It was stupid of me to think my RA is in regression. The precursor to more troubles are my feet. They've been acting up, so pain must be on the way. Yippee!

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
