In reply to Debbie. Thanks for the clarification Debbie - my friends would *swear* that it is the hangover miracle cure. The power of the mind, right? :-)

Hi Jenny,

Love your blog and all that you share, thank you. I have to tell you, the wine decanter you shared, it does not take out the preservative that cause hangovers, lol! It simply takes out any sediments and helps the wine to “breath” but under no circumstances takes out the preservatives that cause hangovers.
Just wanted to help you to better understand.
Thanks again for sharing your amazing work with us.

In reply to Carmen. I'm finding that driving at night is a nightmare lately too. I don't know how much of this is related to my aging eyes, vs. Lasik though. I think much of it is just getting older, but I don't like it!

In reply to Linda.

I expected to have some issues with reading as I get older (which is happening), but I didn’t expect to have issues with distance again. The Lasik people said that my distance vision is still technically 20/20, which I don’t understand. It’s all frustrating – but I agree with you, I don’t want to mess with more procedures with my eyes! I even tried a pair of contacts recently, and they were uncomfortable and didn’t resolve my distance issues either. Getting older stinks!

I expected issues with needing reading glasses – it’s the distance vision that has me frustrated. Despite my eye exam and my distance issues, the Lasik people say that my vision is “20/20”. I don’t get it.

I am listening to Snow on the Tulips by Liz Tolsma . It is centered in Europe during the war. So far, I am enjoying it.
I always look forward to you Friday 5 + 1 series. Please keep it up.

I had the same problem with my eyes, Jenny. My lasik lasted for about 7 years. I had it done when I was 56, I had monovision done, which is one eye for close up and one eye for distance. I loved it, but had to go back to reading glasses for close up work after 7 years. My doctor said they could re-do it, at my cost, of course, but I decided not to spend the money, since my eyes could change again, especially as I get older. I naturally will have to have cataracts removed, too, later on. I don’t think it’s good to have too many procedures on the eyes. You just never know!

And forgot to mention. I am in the same boat as you with the Lasik and eye changes. Reading is becoming a little bit of an issue. I do have glasses, and haven’t really felt the need to use them until recently. My doctor had told me it would happen, but generally later since I’d had the surgery. He also said did mention I might be a candidate later for an additional procedure if that did if fact happen. So, I will be scheduling an appointment with him soon.

We had a chips and salsa bar for one graduation and another with a dessert bar (including chocolate fountain and candy bar). Both were super easy and a huge hit!
For both we also purchased a journal for guests to write their words of wisdom for the grad in. Great keepsake to look back on later on.
For decor we kept it fairly simply, senior pictures and used the colors of their new university.
Our baby is graduating from grad school in May. How the heck did that happen?????

I had Lazik in 2004 and have had to wear glasses while at the computer for about three years now. I don’t need them for driving or anything else and I can see the computer without them. But like you said, I can see better with them. Just one of the many joys I’m encountering in my 40’s:)
