What I Could do Differently (DP#126)

Besides anything and everything? I truly LOVE how vague these prompts are, but alas.

My husband and I had our once a decade eye exam today. We have not been in over five years, and we both needed new glasses and just a looksie to make sure everything is all right. Per our initial exam, we both have some signs of glaucoma in our right eyes. Our doctor said that there was nothing to be concerned about yet, she just wanted us to be aware of it, and we are coming back in May for another more in-depth examination for that. We also are waiting on our new glasses so that will only take about a week and a half.

I say all that to say that I could definitely be keeping a better eye (pun intended) on my overall health and wellbeing. When she mentioned the glaucoma, it instantly reminded me of my dad and grandfather, both of whom had vision problems, mainly due to neither of them taking their health seriously. I do not want to be like that. I may not have health insurance right now, but I will take what I have and see how much I can get checked out while I can.

We have already made so much progress with eating healthier and getting to the gym much more regularly, so I am on the way to being more on top of my physical health which in turn helps the mental and emotional side of things.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 28 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
