| The First Decoration |
The poor Christmas tree is still without the additional strands of lights, but, I hung the first decoration on it - a felt stocking that my daughter made in grade 1. For years, she disliked how it turned out, because she tried to "dress" the gingerbread man with bits of felt and it didn't turn out the way she envisioned it, but, now, she is old enough to appreciate the efforts her 5-year old self took to decorate her stocking.
Today (Tuesday), I had my annual check up with the ophthalmologist. Last year, during my visit, he found and removed a cat hair from my left eye. Today, he gazed deeply into my eyes and asked me, "Do you have a cat?" I said, "Yes". And he said, "I knew it! You have a cat hair in your right eye!" And I reminded him that, last year, too, he found one in my left eye. He called two of his assistants to have a look for themselves before he removed the offending cat hair!

The rest of the visit was quite routine and I am to return in one year's time. I made the appointment before I left the office.
- Being able to have an annual ophthalmology examination
- Everything seems to be fine other than having a cat hair in my eye!
- Weekly trash/recycling collections
- Ordering and picking up groceries
- Waiting for friend R to collect her packages and driving her home
- Making some phone calls to set up appointments
Your daughter's stocking is very cute. And I'm glad your appointment went well - even though Dancer played a small part in it ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was recycling day here, yesterday. And I was relieved that they collected early in the day, so that I could bring the boxes back indoors. I had driven past many boxes that had been blown about during the storm. Xx
Thank you, Jules.
DeleteI'm glad your recycling was collected early in the day. We used to have boxes for recycling, but, now, we have big bins. I think you might refer to them as wheelie bins?
We have several things on our tree made by my kids and nieces and nephews when they were little. Some of my favorite decorations.
ReplyDeleteWith all those years of having multiple cats, I never had a cat hair removed from my eye. Do you feel them?
I've enjoyed the pictures you've posted over the years of your special ornaments, June.
DeleteI didn't feel either cat hairs! Which is very surprising when you think about it.
Your daughter's stocking is adorable. I'm wondering how you didn't feel the cat hair in your eye!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha. I didn't feel a thing!
DeleteWe call the big bins the garbage or recycling cans, even though they are neither cans and are on wheels. I am claiming it is the south that comes out of my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI love the stocking ornament on the tree. Those sentimental ornaments are the best.
I refer to them as both trash cans or trash bins. :)
DeleteThank you, Anne; the handmade ornaments are what personalize a Christmas tree, I think.
Your tree is well ahead of ours now, with an actual decoration. Ours is currently decorated with snow. It will shake off, though, when we bring it in. As for your eye - Dancer strikes again!
ReplyDeleteThere's something special about a tree decorated with real snow, I think. Yes, Dancer strikes again!
DeleteI am so glad your appointment went well. I love your daughter's stocking. Meow is a beautiful cat!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. I, too, love that stocking my daughter made. :)
DeleteDid your eye feel funny at all?
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely ornament. Such good memories. I like the idea of putting ornaments on a tree that mean something rather than just being colour coordinated
I honestly didn't feel anything in my eye, at all!
DeleteOur Christmas tree has no color coordination or theme! It's full of homemade decorations and ornaments with special meaning. :)
What a funny story about your eyes and the cat hairs.
ReplyDeletePlus you were a teaching case for the other colleagues.
Dancer left paw prints on our hearts and cat hair in my eyes! :D
