Tu 9/15/20- Cataract Surgery Springfield Clinic

 Tu 9/15/20- Cataract Surgery Springfield Clinic

Up 635am: Sunny with haze from the fires in California and Oregon- to 80.

***Made a cup of instant coffee because they said I could drink until 8am. Did a round of eye drops and read about the film 'CUTIES' on Netflix. Right-wing nuts (Ted Cruz) think the film promotes the sexualization of pre-teen girls. I think the film was more about peer pressure and nothing in the film was even close to the 'teenage sexual gyrations' that anyone can see on YouTube or for that matter, in many cheer leading routines. The film was designed focus attention on supposed preoccupation with sex among young teens and in that respect the film was a great success.

10am: movie over and just waiting with some anxiety. 1015am: PC is 'Off'...Here we go!

Arrived shortly before 11am. Janny read in the waiting room. Guy in a wheelchair recognized me from Fitclub or the 'Y'. I didn't know who he was because of his mask. 

RN couldn't locate a vein in my left wrist but found one on the right. 

Same anesthesiologist from 4 years ago. 

Nurse said I couldn't drive to tomorrow's appointment because it was less than 24 hours. Anesthesiologist said you only need 12 hours so I can drive to the clinic tomorrow. 

My head was taped to the stretcher to keep from moving. Didn't hear anything until it was all over. While being wheeled to recovery I could already tell my vision had improved. 

Janny and I returned to 940 and Joe arrived within the hour. We talked and showed him the treadmill. 

READ 'THE BIG FIX' in the living room. 

450pm...On the treadmill for 4 MILES in less than 80 mins. THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE. 

In the tub with THE BIG FIX and listening to LORD HURON, Alt~J, COLD WAR KIDS. 

Watched 'DUE DATE' (Netflix). Two guys meet by accident and are forced to go to Los Angelos together. A cracked Buddy Picture with some very funny dialog: with Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx, Juliette Lewis, and Danny McBride.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
