Entry for January 15, 2006

Went to church and joked with everyone about how I was going to start an eye blog so they could just go there and I wouldn't have to give the recitation over and over. Of course, most of the older folks don't have any idea what a blog is, although they do use their computers for taxes and such.Had a charity meeting this afternoon to discuss helping a Central American community. It helped to put my eye issues into perspective. Most of the developing world has no access to even mediocre medical care and relies on traditional healing. Sometimes traditional healing works better anyway, though not always. Hospitals in Nicaragua are calling for more linens and baby garments, because their old-fashioned washers degrade the quality of the cloth and linens don't last long.Came home and watched EXTREME MAKEOVER, HOME EDITION. Again, it put my eye issues into perspective. It was an excellent episode - a family was living in a mold-infested house and had to move into a motel, which they could ill afford with five kids. Rain delayed the building, but the workers - thousands of them - worked night and day. Though my place is old and small, again I felt grateful for it. A good day food-wise; tried to lay off the fats and was fairly successful. The salt is another story.TBC.
