Rambling Monday Morning

The crud chose me as its next victim and it slapped me in the face yesterday.  The coughing drives me crazy.  I decided to take some 'quill before I went to bed.  It helped the cough, but the sleeping was miserable.  I dozed, woke up, dreamed crazy dreams and feel like I worked all night.  I woke up at 5am and decided to get up and make coffee, let the dogs out watch the morning news. 

February 19th marked two years since my sweet MIL passed away.  I still have her chest of drawers and dresser in what is now my grandson's bedroom and her collection of photos have been stored in one of those drawers.  Since Andrew is almost three, I decided it was time to get those photos out of there, so Saturday while "he was helping me clean his room" I put all the photos in a plastic tub so I could put them in albums and/or photo boxes.  Some I will scan and send to a cousin so he can put them in the Granville, TN Museum.  He'd asked for some after Mom died and I've just never gotten around to getting them scanned. 

While Mom was living with us and had nothing to do other than sit or lie down, I asked her to go through her photos and write the names of the subject on the back.  I'm so glad she did that.  My boys probably won't have a clue as to who some of them are, but maybe down the road someone will do a family tree and find the boys who may be able to look through the photos and provide some info that's needed.  

Rambling along..I'm having fun waiting for Hubby and my son to notice something different about me.  I've worn glasses for years.  This past Wednesday I went to see my eye doctor due to a problem with my eyelid.  I had not scheduled an appointment and didn't tell family I was going.  While there, doc checked my eyes and said they had gotten worse in the past year.  (I never got the prescription filled last year.)   I knew I had to get new ones because I was having a hard time seeing with the old ones, even though they were bifocals.   I decided to get contacts.  Yes.  So, since Wednesday, I have not worn my glasses at all and guess what!!!  The ONLY person who has noticed is my 2 year old grandson.  He said, "Nana put your glasses on."  Hubby was in the room, but had us tuned out while watching TV.  I'm going to see just how long it takes for Hubby to notice.  I think it's hilarious that it's been nearly a week and he hasn't realized I'm not wearing glasses.  It doesn't hurt my feelings at all, although when I was younger, I would have probably gotten upset that he didn't notice.  It's funny how things change as one gets older.  I think in my case, Hubby's lucky that I've changed in that respect.  HA

That's enough rambling for now.  This coffee is good and I'm going to go have another cup.

Merry Monday, y'all.

That's hilarious that your hubby hasn't noticed the missing glasses. Keep us posted on how long it takes. :-)I have mono lenses. I read with one contact and see distance with another. It took awhile to get used to it, but I am very, very happy with no reading glasses.

I have mono lenses too. I've worn contacts in the past, so it's no as hard to get used to this time around. I'm loving not having to constantly push my glasses back up and being able to see without grabbing them when I wake up every morning.
