I'm still adding a subject a week.

Last week we added history, and despite all the appointments that went well. This week I'm thinking science. Then I'll have all the biggies out of the way.

Also, I think I finally found an optometrist that I like. I really liked the optometrist we had as a kid, but he moved offices after 9/11 and I don't know where. The optometrist at the doctor's office is only there two days out of the week, and it's impossible to get them on the phone. The only a block away from me, we went there last year and I wasn't terribly impressed.

But this one is close by (well, I don't have to take any buses or trains, just the boat), there's a nice playground nearby, the optometrist clearly knows her stuff, and those are the three qualities I need. (I'd sacrifice the first two for the last, of course, but it's nice when you don't have to.)
