One year filtered...

I've been on dialysis for almost one year now and I'm not dead yet. Legallky blind, my eyesight has declined a bit more. I have had cataract surgery and laser surgery in both eyes, and injections in both eyes about every six to eight weeks and a steroid pellet smaller than a grain of rice injected in one eye a couple of times a year to try and keep things stable. I was going to the dental clinic at wallyaorld to get a lot of needed work done, but they called and cancelled a root canal and deep cleaning appointments. Seems Walmart wasn't making enough profit with their health clinics, so they're closing all ofthem.

2021 Independence Day fireworks

Here's a few minutes of our neighborhood 4th of July fireworks.

Patio Lizard 2021

 

First photo of our patio lizard this year. I have seen a smaller one a couple of times but did not get a pic.

Hopefully they will keep bugs off our tomatoes and strawberry plants.

April plantings...

 

Ma picked up a bunch of cherry tomato plants and planted most of them along the back of the house. A couple went in a planter with a couple of pepper plants (hot and mild).

She got me ten strawberry plants for my Mr Stacky planter and put a couple of flowers on top where there was extra space. Other flowers went in a few other planters. We'll see what survives...

Apple Pie Pepsi

 In the mail today, Apple Pie Pepsi. I haven't tried it yet.

Halloween pumpkin

Ma carved up our pumpkin to make a jack o lantern.  I had printed out a few different templates to use, but she just did a quick freehand design and hacked at it with a kitchen knife, lol...

Headphone failure...

 

My headphones, that I got for Christmas last year, have started coming apart.  The fake (disintegrating) leather over the foam padding is separating and I don't see any way to repair/replace it... (RCA H033C-BK noise cancelling/bluetooth)

I imagine the same thing can happen with more expensive over ear headphones, like those from  Sony and Bose, but I'd guess they certainly have better sound, which I probably wouldn't notice with my hearing loss and tinnitus...

Da Pumpkin

The pumpkin that my sister brought us when she came down to visit on Ma's birthday.

We'll have to search for a good jack-o-lantern template to carve it when it gets closer to Halloween.
