Tomorrow is a big day!  Daddy has his three-hour appointment with the Low Vision Center.  We are anxious to see what is available to help him better see.  He can only see with his periphery vision and needs lots of light.  Last time we visited his eye doctor and he got his eyes dilated – he could actually see better!  I worried that dad would be buying black market eye dilator drops but it seems those may be available over the counter and there are better tools at the LVC.  As long as we can attach a helmet to his head as well, we’re good.

Tomorrow I also load up my car for the 2-3 day trek to New Jersey to be with my sister.  She and her husband are moving from Kenilworth to Berkeley Heights on Saturday.  And then any day they are expecting their baby daughter, Devyn Rose.  This is ONE great perk of my being basically unemployed.  I can go and stay for as long as they want me.

I’m hoping I get there safe.  Dad has gifted my brother-in-law a few of his guns.  They haven’t been able to get it together enough to get them shipped according to the Alcohol, Drug and Firearm folks so I get to ferry them!  I feel like a mule.  I’m pretty sure what I am doing is not exactly legal and fear one of my “vacation” sites will be the interior of a jail cell somewhere off I-80 East.
