Winter Notes- Thursday December 7th. An Accidental Day

 So...Blue not Red.  

I went out to put a few bills in the mailbox and when I turned to go back ...my shoes- extra grippy..stuck and I FELL.  My glasses broke. (yes I hit the ground with the side of my face---one eyebrow)  And I wasn't sure i could get up off the ground (shock)...Just from the land mass that is me and the fact that I am 77.  But I did manage to get up and walked to the house and mentioned to my son that I fell.

He looked up from the puzzle he was sorting and gasped....I did NOT know my right eyebrow was bleeding.  He got me a towel wrapped bag of frozen peas and then called his sister....panicked.

I am fine- he went into Town with my broken glasses and they took the lens out and fitted them into a pair of left over frames for $36.  Gray that matches my hair.  Not bad.  The right lens is scratched from the fall.

I can see to type this and sort of watch tv.  I had to call the eye doctor's office to get them to send over a new prescription....even if it's the SAME prescription.  So, I will be wearing NOT RED frames.... I think if I had gone in they might have made adjustments to get the lens the correct distance/placement.  

I keep fussing with the glasses.  But without them...no tv.  I have a second pair to wear for reading, sewing etc- close work.  The Heist book is getting into it..... all the women are saying yes and all the men are saying no.  Different.

Well, the keyboard is great but the screen is not........so I'm done.

Stop...I am fine...A few aches and pains but nothing broken except my glasses.  Lenses were in good condition.  The right arm broke off.  Right lens scratched. Side of right hand bruised. Eyebrow with a cut.

It's been hours and I can move around like usual...the huge black wool coat saved my body yet again...
