It's the time of year when l'heure blue becomes l'heure jaune and it's quite wonderful, except that it happens at 6:15 and only for the next ten days or so. And then darkness covers all the land for months and months and months.
I know that I have to order new contact lenses a month or so before I run out because it can take a few weeks to refill, but our Thanksgiving got in the way so I only gave it 20 days. Reading the fine print, I discover one must allow 20 *business* days and this time I've heard nothing after two weeks. So I order from another retailer who only ship some variant of expedited and trust that this will magically call my first order into appearing. What it calls instead is extreme dry eye, scratch scratch, so I'm dealing with the world one-eyed for the duration. I may end up having to get my eyes tested again, because they tend to have lenses in stock. I've been avoiding it ever since the ketchi provincial gov't cancelled free testing for the over 65s, and also because they always want to do an additional test that runs to the hundreds of dollars. Which I need for my physio, sorry.
Tried getting on the bike again. Still can't get my leg over the bar. Discover that the ride share bikes are cut low enough that I can, no problem. But quite apart from things like using credit cards to rent them- mine don't tap and I am reluctant to enable this on my phone- and not knowing how heavy the works are, I can't rent them until I'm able to walk two blocks without support, and I still can't do that.
My phone happily informed me on Sunday that walking three blocks clocked in at sixteen steps. My phone is an imbecile: sixteen steps is the distance bed to bathroom. Have ordered a cheapie pedometer from the mighty river, which will arrive in December, about the time I stop walking entirely.
