So I was at the eye specialist today. I have a small cataract in one eye that he monitors every year. It's stable, but he said when the time comes, it'll take him about 7 minutes to remove it at the hospital. He said I may never need bifocals (reading glasses), if I don't mind just taking my glasses off so I can see the fine print. But he gave me a prescription anyway, it just depends what I'm comfortable with. He says some people feel old wearing them and in my case, I'll be fine just taking my glasses off to read if it's not too annoying. It may be because I'm near-sighted to begin with. I'm never one to be able to make a decision so I'll put this on hold for awhile. He said he took his son for hockey practice at 4.30am this morning (busy as he is).
I went to the gym afterward and did a treadmill workout. I haven't done that since summer started, but it's raining and cold today. My heart rate is about 20% less on the treadmill since I first joined the gym almost 3 years ago. That's a good thing. These days I'm aiming for daily exercise. I do aerobics once a week although I'll miss tomorrow as something came up.
So L submitted her RCM Grade 8 piano certificate and her Grade 2 theory certificate along with the marks to her Guidance teacher, so she will be getting a Grade 12 high school credit for it.
