Appts are: Podiatrist @ 5:45pm and Optical @ 6:45. Both in the same building and both a 2 min drive from my appt...on the way home i'll park in shopping center there so I'm not late for the appointments. I could have parked at home & walked but then i risk being very late!...or rather, 10 min late!

These appointments are very important as I'm getting whatever i'll need for the future in January NYPD trainnig....so i'll be getting extra glasses / insole inserts....to be prepared for anything / everything once i am in NYPD i do NOT want to be scrambling for appts or gear.

Hamster has a slight eye infection, i'm trying to fix the problem at home first before needing to take the baby to a vet...googled some home solutions such as a chamomile tea bag on closed eye.
I'm baking a whole spaghettic squash so i hope it'll taste better from when i microwave it? Maybe after i bake it, i'll re-bake the inside after i cut it up with olive oil, garlic, black pepper.

GOOD ENTRY BELOW REGARDING MY RECENT READ, DAILY RITUALS, How Artists Work by Mason Curry.
The Daily Rituals book is not the best or most inspiring book i've ever read, but it was cool to get a glimpse into so many lives of the greats! Nice to read about them and how different they were and what made this artists tick :)
Reading a NEW book at lunch that i'm starting, it's called "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, by Mark Manson"....I'm glad I finsihed the other book, DAILY RITUALS, which was about the daily routines of many famous artists, composers, writers, painters, musicians.
It wasn't very inspiring, but did demonstrate the depths and drive some had to go thru in order to become renown and produce such masterpieces (hard effot / work)...and for a few it came more naturally without as much a struggle. Many artists were alcoholics or drug addicts, but others were very healthy and lead more natural lives and routines. But as we all know, many artists are inherently a bit extreme. Not all, but many.
Many worked on little sleep or took drugs for sleeping and stimulants for waking. some took daily naps. It all depended on several things. Some artists had to work day jobs to pay the bills, some relied on their family to provide food and housing so that they could write full time. Some lived in poverty bc nobody was helping them, until their first big break.
Many would write / practice their art even when uninspired, to keep the routine and stay in practice so that they could eventually produce a greak work...everyone was different. But one important thing to remember is that practice makes perfect...or at least practice makes GREAT.
And this is what i take from the book, called DAILY RITUALS. It's that even when you aren't feeling you are producing your best work, you stil stay in the routine and you still practice. So that when that inspiration does come to you, you've been already in practice and your job becomes easier...THIS IS HOW I THINK OF MY RUNNING. I generally suck...but the more I practice, the easier it is getting....I have one choice: KEEP PRACTICING!
Another important note I learned from the book Daily Rituals is that many of the greats did not ONLY do work. They also enjoyed exercise, usually walking very long walks like at least one hour per day and some as much as 2-3 hours of walking per day!!!!...some enjoyed swimming!...but in general artists were used to being active, not all of them - but many - or doing another hobby which would inpsire their work...generally the more active ones were the ones that did not have a second job or line of work to support their writing...the ones that had hobbies were usually the ones that didn't need a second line of work to support themselves (like composers could be composers and writers were able to just be writiers...these guys were able to have hobbies and go on those long walks...or see shows, etc....) All things to think about!
Either way, many of the greats did NOT become great without LOTS OF PRACTICE and/or many failures first....PRACTICE....PRACTICE.....PRACTICE...and i'll run better, too! NEVER GIVE UP...the only way you cannot achieve something is by making the ACTIVE DECISION TO GIVE UP!

Excellent planning!
Thanks! so now i have two pairs of glasses. Both transition lenses and both pairs have a slight, very slight, tint to them even indoors. I hate this, but, it makes it so that i can use just one pair of glasses when i go to academy (and keep a fully extra pair at home). the glasses will be good for indoors as well as driving in the sun and nighttime too.
As for the insoles, i was only allowed to get one pair and i do not think they easily wear out. So i'll just go with that....!
Total price - i do not think i have to pay at all for the insoles. The total for two pairs of glasses both with extra active transition lenses - around $220 for everything. I'll also get that money back thru one of my funds. Cannot wait to get all my money back that i've used for copays lately!
