Midweek

Good week so far, considering that it is only a few days into it. A friend came by and brought donuts this morning. We had a great visit. Chatted about our children and families, and played catchup on what's been going on in our lives. 

The house is clean, meals made for the week. Only thing left to do today is to change the sheets.

Still messaging back and forth with my male friend. Who knows, we may end up going out. I really don't want just a playmate. I function at my best in a relationship. Being on my own is enlightening, but it just isn't who I am. Plus, I'm not into hookups and casual sex. I want to have the love, romance, time spent together, caring and sharing.

Watered the front garden today, it's been sorely neglected. I noticed a lot more green than should be there. So, there will be some weeding done. Hopefully, I'll pull up only the plants which are not supposed to be there.

New changes with sight loss. When I look at dark colored Things, everything blacks out completely. There's absolutely nothing. With it comes a hard hit of vertigo. Horribly disorienting, and frightening when it occurs dozens of times daily. It also happens when I see something too bright. In that instance, it's a complete whiteout. I'm keeping lights on now from late afternoon to late morning. 

Would love to paint the interior of the house in lighter colors. That would make things safer for me. Four of the rooms, as well as the closets, have panelling. The other three rooms are solid white, and lead into each other, with nothing to show contrast. But, with this place being a rental, and with paneled walls, it won't happen.  So, I use landmarks around the house. Brightly colored artwork, accessories, and similar things near door frames to let me know they're nearby. It's not ideal, but it helps to find my way around.

Enough for now....
