Two minutes a mile faster! Plus, I did it with one eye shut! Soon, I’ll be setting Olympic records, especially once I’m bionic. My eye is healing but still burns. They remove the Prokera membrane on Thursday, so just two more days of being a One-Eyed Jack. Depth perception is a problem, especially trying to drive yesterday. With my wife now teaching school, I’m getting up at 6 a.m. when she does, before the sun comes up. I get a lot done while she gets ready for work including dog duties and mopping the garage floor. We can have dinner on it tonight. I now have a few minutes to write before Chair Yoga class on this busy Tuesday.

My wife has the car today and its Trash Day, so this is why it made sense to clean the garage with no canisters or vehicles to work around. I also swept my office floor and did a few games. Tomorrow, we’ll both sleep in, before two more days of substitute teaching and a quiet weekend. We’ve enjoyed a couple of game nights with the neighbors lately, including Triominos and Mexican Train that we’ve never played before. I guess that old people are into this kind of thing!

My wife is putting together a future travel plan, once Tally has crossed the rainbow bridge, if I don’t get there first. She’s thinking of renting our house for a year and exploring the world. It would probably give us a couple extra thousand a month. We would use a combination of the Marriott Vacation Club, hotel points, and the gracious hospitality of friends and family.  It sounds like a lot of work to me, but she still has the travel bug, and this may be an affordable opportunity, especially with the rental fees that people are getting here in Florida. We do have resort accommodations, a pool, golf cart, and proximity to the beach to offer.

I first have several medical issues to deal with before we can take these steps. Hopefully, they won’t interfere with our plans to go to San Francisco, Orlando, and Buenos Aires.  We’ve yet to have a game night that has involved playing cards like Euchre or Poker. On my own, I frequently play Solitaire on my phone, while my wife typically plays Bridge on Monday afternoons at our clubhouse. At any rate, life has unfortunately dealt me a bad suit of Hearts, starting with the One-Eyed Jack.
