Gym Setup

The other workout mats came in and it really makes a huge difference. I want to do more area in mats for the walk out to the hot tub, but I think the mats will be too slippery. I went the the gym today and had a really great workout.

Pick up the kids

We got all the Christmas decorations put away into the shed. It really opened up the garage a lot. I put down a 4 x 6 foam workout puzzle pad near the workbench when we were done. It went together really nicely, and I taped all the seams on the

Garret's in Town

I woke up with a lot of visual clarity, I could see the alarm clock clearly, which was neat. This faded a little bit as I woke up, but it was neat to see that clarity. Nikki worked in Salt Lake today visiting clients. The kids had a short day

Day 2 PRK Recovery

Last night I slept with shields over my eyes. They were not terrible to wear, but not my favorite. We taped them down over my eyes, they are large enough to go outside my eye socket bones. The issue with they is that they annoyingly touch my eye lashes. That

Early in the morning, we headed down to Murray at the Moran Eye Center for my PRK surgery. I was fairly nervous now. Not scarred, but nervous not knowing how things would go. I checked in and sat down in the waiting room. There were probably 5 other people there,

Getting Ready for Friday

I worked on laundry a lot today to get ready for not being able to help out around the house much after Friday. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but I knocked out a fair bit. I really wanted to get the garage cleaned out
