I hate wasting stuff. I have half a packet of oat biscuits left. Expiry was 20th June. Will finish it.
I can appreciate that, and I'm wired that way myself, but consider you're paying to actively make yourself unhappy. The money's spent regardless. Too late now, but it might've worked better as an iced tea, or a flavoring agent for something else.

Retinal eye exam about an hour ago. My eyes are currently dilated and can't read hardly anything on y screen right now at work! Good news is my eyes are doing pretty well and she said I should be able to hold off any cataract surgery, and I don't need to come back until 6 months instead of quarterly like I've been doing.

I did the cataract surgery in Nov. 2023. I HATE having my eyes dilated...and for that procedure, they take dilation to a whole new level. As unpleasant as the idea of having them cut on the eyes was...the difference was amazing. When they did the first one, I was astounded by the change in colors. The "old" eye was like looking at the world through a window that was discolored by 40 years of cigarette smoke...kind of brownish and dingy, while the "new" eye was bright and clean...with vibrant colors. I still have to wear glasses...I didn't get quite as much improvement in my overall vision as promised, but it's still an improvement.

Yea I actually have the cataract consultation next Friday with a different dr. that would be performing the surgery if I decide to go through with it.
