WEDNESDAY AND TACOS

 As mentioned before, I slept well. I had been afraid my coffee hadn't been deliveredf yesterday and I'd have to settle for instant, but checked outside my door and--great, there it was.

Had lunch with Kathie, Keith, and LaVerne. Kathie told us Cheryl's son had fallen three stories from  a scaffolding and hit his head. He's in the hospital, of course; I saw Cheryl in the elevator and expresed my cncern.

UBER, via SCAN, picked me after lunch for my much-dreaded ophthomolgist appointment. Having grown up with progressive myopia, about my worse fear in life is going blimd. I do have macular degenration and if it worsens, I know that possiblity is there. Happily, after a series of tests, Dr. Teel pronounced that she saw no change--what a relief. 

Another Uber driver for Scan took me home and I had an interesting exchange with him. Bob is an older guy--86, I learned--and I sat in the front seat while we chatted. I won't go into detail, but I asked him how long he'd been driving for Uber and learned he started in order to earn $20,000 in order to put his wife's invention on Amazon. What is it, I asked and he took out a small box:  

Naturally, being a sucker for anything new, I asked to buy it and he sold it to me for twenty bucks. Took it to dinner with Kathie, Denise, LaVerne and Keith and we had great fun laughing over it. LaVerne looked it up on her phone and yes, it's sold through Amazon for eighteen bucks. I never made a taco in my life, but I'm going to get the tortillas and and filling and give it my best shot!

BTW, I ordered a new desk chair from Amazon and it should be delievered on Sunday. Also texted Elika and asked if she could do my manicure on Monday at 3:00. Yes, she can and she will.
