I think I got my second pair of glasses in 2008, the year I retired. Probably I did, so I would have some financial assistance from insurance. Today, I ordered a new pair of glasses and a new prescription. I thought it might be about time.
Glasses are expensive. But not taking good care of our eyes is expensive as well. So, I cringed, handed over my credit card and plugged in my secret code. I think the glasses have a burgundy frame, but not a big frame. I tried on so many pairs that I can hardly remember what they look like.
Of course, I needed to celebrate new glasses and a renewed vision, so I went to Chapters and bought two new books. I've been watching "Call the Midnight" on my new tablet, soI bought the memoir that inspired the show. I have also been watching the miniseries " The Book of Negroes" on Wednesday evenings, so I also bought that book. I will put these waway for ow, until I get near the end of the series. I also bought a children's book called "Piau's Potato Present." It's written by an Acadian genealogist and it is about the Treitz family. The Treitz's were Germans who came to Acadia from Pennsylvania with several other German families after the Grande Derangement. I thought I'd take it to the genealogy meeting tomorrow, along with my Uncle Billy's fiddle that I am bringing for show and tell.

They woke B up to come to work at 5 and sent him home at 8. They called him in again for the night.
I went to the genealogy meeting and took my violin. I got to show and tell to the whole group. Also found out that Katherine Barnes is the daughter of Lillian Ogilvie and grew up in Hillgrove. She wants a copy of my book. I told her I'd have to check. I have three left; one is for the Archives in Fredericton and I can't remember who the others are for. Actually, I think one is for the ISBN people in Ottawa in case they ask for it.

One 17 year old lad gave Bill a merry chase through the halls of the GD Hospital last night, until he was cornered and could go no further. It took seven people to quiet the lad down. So didn't they call him back in tonight. I hope said fellow is sedated or tied. Poor guy; not much of a life ahead of him to be such a menace to society.
I went to church and came home and did a bit of crocheting. Going over to ancestry.com now; looking for inspiration. Sigh.

B called in to work for the third night in a row. He slept until noon today, so is a bit rested, but I told him he'd better book tomorrow off. A lady bit one of the guys today. Then she cried for the rest of the day. The lad woke up and busted up a television today. Dr won't send him to adult psych ward. So he continues to harass and scare children. Seem quite right?
Started working on Grace and co for the February history challenge. I think the letter will only have Grace. I wanted to do a visitor to Riverbank but I don't think I have the time and gumption to do it. I'd rather crochet this winter, it seems. But I'm at least going to get something for the newsletter. I will not make her talk and do things that she "might have done," but I will try to use active sentences to make my story pop off the page. (Yeah, right)
E rather unhappy with her computer and I think, her job. I do believe her other company was better. She bought her computer only this summer, here in Moncton I think, and its not working well.
