Tuesday Stuff

Well, last night our water froze AGAIN!!!! ARG!!!!! Okay, this summer I am putting on new heat tape and wrapping the damn thing in insulation! This is nuts! I had to go next door for a pot of water to make spaghetti for supper! I hope it warms up enough to thaw the pipes out. This is so annoying!

Took Joe into the eye doctor today and yup, he needs to wear glasses all the time now. He can't see far away. Happened almost over night around Christmas time. This is the second time his eyes have changed like that. This time though we had to go with the "free" pair that the insurance will pay for and they aren't very nice looking, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. It will cost $105 to put the lenses into Joe's glasses that he already has and likes. I don't see why the insurance can't pay for the lenses and I will pay to put them in??? ARG!!!! This will help Joe see better at school though. We have to wait a week till they come in.

Lucy is sick. She is our pet rat and she is VERY thin and I have no idea what's wrong with her. I guess rats live from 2-4 years. We've had her now for 2 and she may have been over a year old when we got her so maybe she is just old? SIGH!!! Poor Luce Goose!! When you hold her she is all bones. I held her tonight and she wolfed down some spaghetti so she is eating. Her fur isn't right either.

Oh, last month Joe got a D on his monthly book report and we told him he better get an A on this months. He got it back today and got a 105/100!! YA!! He was very happy about that and so was I.

Go to Zenni Optical (http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/home.php) to buy glasses for Joe. I got bought a purple pair about a month ago and I LOVE them. The total cost with shipping was only $35. You could buy 3 full pair for the cost of putting the lenses in his old ones. All you need is his prescription and his pulpitary distance (the distance from the center of one pupil to the center of the other in millimeters).

Thanks for the tip, when his glasses come in I will ask for that information! I also remember something about getting non-glare? Don't want him starring back into his own eyeball, LOL!!
