Today I took Mother to the opthalmologist. Everything checked out okay. Dr. Long said she had, "...the best field test I've seen today." Mother beamed as if he'd told her she won a prize. He wanted her to have some new-fangled test that shows more detailed pictures of the back of the eyeball, but since that would have cost her $75, she couldn't see doing that. (All right, so I stole that one from Dennis. He'll never miss it.) Then we went to Timmy's for lunch and her bank. The TD bank no longer runs a branch at the Lion's Manor which doesn't make it all that convenient for her to get cash, but she can always phone me and I can get her some cash. Gary, you won't believe it, but she went to Zellers and she actually bought a parka! Woohoo. Although she might get me to take it back within the week.

Then I came home, took the dog for a walk and did some snow clearing. That's my exercise for the day. The snow thrower ran out of gas and I couldn't get the cap off the gas container. I had to go across the street and ask my neighbour to take it off for me. Boy did I feel like the 98 pound weakling.

Speaking of exercise, the Reh-fit Centre finally re-opened on Monday and WOW. The next time Gary and Carolyn come, they'll have to come and see it. Beeootiful. One woman in the locker room said it was just like a spa. There was just one thing missing. I'm sorry he never did get to see the new, improved, beautiful Reh-fit. I plan to make a donation to the Centre and get his name put on a plaque on the Honour Wall. I think he would have liked that.

Hey! The new Survivor series starts tonight. Yipppeee! And tomorrow I'm having lunch with Terri. That's Morgan's wife. I'm trying harder to be upbeat. I think it's working.
