I know for sure that you impacted people in a positive way during your professional life, by extending kindness and empathy. There are people who were in a bind or tough situation *****member to this day that you helped them out.

Yep the places that sell the snorkel masks have a selection of common eyeglass lens types that you can get off the shelf. Not exact but good enough. I got DH custom made snorkel mask lenses because he was blind as a bat. Now that we have both had cataract surgery those masks are probably no good. Who knows. But like Liz says they are not a big expensive deal.

LOL Peps too young to be from Florida.......

126.3 (I think). My appetite suppression hasn't been near what it was and the food noise is back. I'm thinking my body got used to the 2 mg and might need a bit of a boost. I think I'll try 2.5 on Sunday and if I'm still feeling hungry and snacky might even move up to 3. My calories are sitting between 1400 - 1500 most days but I feel like I could definitely eat more most days. I don't mind feeling hungry before meals but don't like the snack attacks and cravings for sweet and salty things!

As mentioned before and on FB, we did get out kayaking today. 1 nicer day and then back to crap weather tomorrow.

Going to grill out veggies and beef tenderloin for dinner. DSD left some leftover roasted Parmesan potatoes from our fancy dinner on Saturday so I think I will warm those up too!

Bible study and who knows what else tomorrow.

Blueberry pancakes actually sound really good to me right now! I think I'm getting weary of protein bars!

Prescription masks aren't all that expensive - deceased DH had one and one of our friends here just got one. Shops that have them just pick whatever is closest to your prescription- obviously if your eyes are very different you need each each side to be distinct.

AND only 1.5 days!!!!!!

Well we had good weather for one day, yesterday. Here comes several rainy days in a row.

Liz I do hope the rain/wind lets up so you can snorkel before your time runs down. Diane interesting that you have prescription snorkel mask. I've considered it. I do find the refraction of the water improves my vision to a degree, but can't help but wonder what I'm missing out on.

Kayaking at last Paula. There is something so zen the moment you feel your kayak lift in the water and start to float.

Peps you are making the most of it! How many stories are there like Anne Frank's? The world can be so cruel. And in the midst of deep, unimaginable cruelty, there are those people who are beacons of light, like the people who tried to save Anne and her family. Because of them, we can go on, despite the horror.

More sweet cards from students, some homemade, some purchased, all absolute treasures. Aww, my heart. One full day tomorrow, and then a short one on Friday. Friday at 1:30pm I have an appointment with my Weight Loss Surgery clinic. Kind of anticlimactic, but I want to get it out of the way.
