I scheduled to doctor appointments today, I thought very far apart.  The first was my eye doctor.  Nothing wrong, I thought, just the routine annual checkup.  Ends up my right eye is substantially failing.  Left eye stayed the same.  This resulted in a battery of tests to see if it was brain related.  So I was almost late for the skin doctor.  Here they decided that the medicine proscribed for all the itchy skin I have was not working and wanted to do a biopsy to ID whether it is an allergy or something else.  Meanwhile I have to change everything I wash with even laundry soap.  So in this busy season I have to go back in two weeks.  

The one good thing was this meal.  It is from the Dinner in a Rush WW cookbook.  Unbelievable amount of food for 6 points.  It serves 4.  There is a serving left.  With Jim eating, it is a miracle.
