Yesterday, I went to get my Eyes checked. It had been two years since they had been last checked and the doctor who did that exam deciced he needed to "change careers" quite suddenly.

I mentioned this to the new Optical Doc who told me, "Oh yes. He and I trained together. Great guy!!!!" I was really feeling good about things at this point.

After all, It's ONLY my eyesight!!!!!!!!

So we get through the exam and they give me my prescription for my new glasses with bifocals.

I ask if they do the glasses there. He tells me that he does not but there is a place attached to his building that does. GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The person who runs it has a Major FLU right now.

Damn, I knew I needed to bring my respirator!!!!!!!!!!!

I survived that and I have not come down with the flu thank goodness. But then, it is still early.

Today, I visited the podiatrist. You see, two weeks ago, I broke my big toe on my right foot. I misjudged where a cable was laying across the floor and actually fractured my big toe.

She did the x-rays.

She looked at the x-rays. "HHHHmmmm!" she says as she looks through her granny glasses.

She comes in and presses that special spot on my big toe and has the f&^%$(g nerve to ask, "Does that hurt?"

"But yes, it does smart some." I say in a voice 15 octaves higher than I normally use for speaking.

She said, "That's where the break was."

"No *beep*, Sherlock" I thought in response.

So, the question I have for you is............

How was your day?
