Animal Encounters, or Getting Buggy

For some reason, our cable service was out last night when I got home from work - no phone, no internet.

The library program was called Animal Encounters. The man read three stories and showed animals to go along with them. I was unaware beforehand that the animals would be mostly BUGS! Ewww! There was a giant hissing cockroach, a humongous millipede, and a South American tarantula, as well as a small alligator. I couldn't look at most of them. I got photos only of the gator - I hate insects. I can't even put my hand on a photo of them, such as in National Geographic, and I have to turn the page fast. Bleh!

The kids got t-shirts at the library as part of the reading program. They just had to read 10 books - NO PROBLEMO! I took a photo but haven't downloaded it yet.

Yesterday my right eye was slightly swollen. Today I woke up with it very swollen. I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled this morning - a routine checkup - so I had the doctor check my eye. He looked in it, touched it, and....wrote me an antibiotic. @@ I wish there were doctors out there who don't write a prescription for every darn thing. I wouldn't have even gone to the doctor for this if I hadn't already had the appointment. I would have put warm compresses on it, which is what he told me to do, and then wrote me the Z-pack. Oh, and come back in 10 days. I don't think so! Unless it's worse, which it shouldn't be.

No word from David. I assume no news is good news! lol I should have asked ahead about mail. Then again, I wouldn't want to embarrass him - the only one getting mail from his mommy. lol

I am now reading the annotated Pride & Prejudice, but I am borrowing the Twilight books from a coworker and will re-read those before Breaking Dawn comes out in a few days. (No, I am not counting down! lol)

Bought a coffeemaker yesterday at the thrift store since our coffeepot got broken.
