doppelganger

We have a local mail carrier in the city who looks JUST like Keith Urban.  When I was leaving a friend's house today he was walking up to put her mail in the box and I hollered out "I guess nobody has ever told you who you look like!"  He chuckled and said "Yeah, I get that all the time.  Cutie patootie.

I was without a laptop all weekend and thought I would go stir crazy.  Since I have no "real" TV and the phone is way little I depend on this laptop for all things.  I visited my local optometrist today, knowing that my vision was getting worse.  He told me that I have some macular degeneration and referred me to a specialist in Jackson.  I don't know if it's hereditary but my mother was legally blind when she died from the degeneration.  He called it geographic degeneration whatever that means.  He said that there are several new drugs on the market to treat the disorder but that means they will be expensive.  Lerd.

Believe it or not, I still had pecans hitting the roof yesterday during the wind and rain.  I'll give them a few days to dry out and finish up for this season.  It's been a long one that started in October.  My friend who has an orchard in Lake County told me that she had lost about 2000 pounds to poachers this season.  When I last dropped off a load to sell, there was a guy on a bicycle in front of me who didn't have much.  Evidently he made enough for some liquor because I saw him cruise up to the store on his bike.  

The rose that Mamye got me is still not completely open and sits in my great grandmother's etched vase on the desk.  I am weary and worried about a lot of things and honestly don't know who to believe anymore.  I do know that something is out of whack with the universe because everybody is going through some drama.  And it ain't even a full moon.

I hope that you all get some love and appreciation for V Day even if it's just a verbal "I love you."  Poopie is acting up again and that will be a never ending saga.  I ran out of wax rings that protect my stoma so I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver those.  

Be safe.  Keep the faith.  And always remember who you are ^j^
