Must be a good movie. LOL

I’ve never felt 6% humidity and hope to never feel it. It’s gotten into the 20s or so once in a blue moon and that was horrible enough. It’s 65% here right now and that feels good. We didn’t get up to the mid 80s today as they’d predicted. Only got up to 79 and it was very pleasant when I headed out this afternoon.

Bummer they got your hopes up about rain tomorrow and now let you down. You’ll get some eventually, hopefully sooner rather than later.

No rain for us until the weekend and then chances are only 20%.

Yes, I went to get my eyes rechecked this afternoon. He Looked at the current glasses, at the new ones, and pulled up the ‘script on his computer and said the ‘script was incorrect. So the problem wasn’t with the lab all this time. They were making what had been sent to them. He made corrections and is going to try again with the new ‘script. Now I wait another three or four weeks for the new ones to come in.

That optician office sounds like the Keystone Kops. Sorry. I sure hope they get it right this time. I can only imagine how you’ll react if they don’t.....but I feel sorry for them. LOL!

79 is the perfect temperature. I’m glad you had that to enjoy. Hope you get more days like that.

That’s what it is here right now. I should go out and just sit and enjoy it. That’s the upside to the low humidity. After the sun goes down, it cools off to something bearable.

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Lauren for this morning's thread.

How's everyone doing this morning?

He isn’t an optician. He’s an optometrist. He has an in-house optician though. I don’t know who screwed up the ‘script but he straightened it out .... I hope. It’s is the first time this has happened in the 30 years I’ve been going there.

The lab could still screw up on the first try. My ‘script is very difficult to make because it’s so complicated.

Today was a picture perfect day and it would be nice if we could have the same all week. At least they’ve backed off on the rest of the week’s high temps to just one day with 90 or above. The rest will be 80s.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Was it another toasty day over there yesterday? Probably didn’t slow Gizmo down at all. :-)

My hubby served here ‘71-‘74. Back when computers were room sized and required their own air conditioning system. Just this afternoon I was looking for his DD214 for him and found the letters he received when he was named Airman of the Quarter. They interviewed him on the radio and he was so nervous. We were so young. Loved going to the ocean.

I can never remember what they’re called. LOL! I just hope you don’t have to keep making that trip just to be disappointed. Dion d they totally reject your suggestion about remaking your current prescription?

Ooooo...I hope they’re wrong about that 90 degree day. You won’t like it any more than I do. Ugh.

Optometrists are the doctors who check your eyes. Opticians are the ones who deal with making the glasses. :-)

For now, he doesn’t want to remake the old ‘script since he found the mistakes in the ‘script and I’m willing to give it another try. We’ll see how this works out.

It’s just one 90 degree day and that’s better than the three, maybe four they’d predicted. I’ll do the grocery shopping and pick up Bella’s pills tomorrow while it nice and stay home Wednesday.

Good idea to get stuff done while it’s still comfy and stay under the AC on the overheated one. Exactly what I’ve been doing. LOL!

Guess ‘ll finish this show and head out. My eyes are burning from watching the screen. See ya manana!

It’s hard to slow that lil feller down. LOL I’ll bet it leaves you beat after keeping up with him on those toasty days.

I see he found something “special” to roll in. Happy pooch. :-)

I make a point of getting things done on the better days. That’s why I pay close attention to weather reports. LOL

I do miss living where there are 24-hour stores because I prefer to shop in the middle of the night. Fewer people. And during summer, it’s cooler.

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow for the quiz. :-)

PS: Our humidity has gone from about 10% to 63% in a matter of a few hours. The difference is crazy! Nighty-night!
