I am already noticing a lot less blinking trying to clear up my vision. Both eyes together took less than 10 minutes.

But I am trying to type with sun glasses on.

They only do YAG once a month on the first Wednesday here in Anchorage. They have offices in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and New Mexico. Certain surgeons are in certain states on different days.

My eyes have just about had enough for one day.

Cooler temps by just a few degrees and rain’s a maybe this weekend. All we’re really getting from the tropical storm is super-high humidity. UGH!

Hubby came in a few minutes ago saying there was lightning to the west but after standing outside for a while and seeing not a flicker, I gave up.

A cold front is supposed to come through Sunday or Monday that should make it more comfortable.

Good evening, mountainlion....got your wood supply in for the coming cold?
