Eight Hundred Grapes: A Novel | Laura Dave

#Chatterday

I‘m enjoying my visit with my sister. I‘m staying with her this weekend after her cataract surgery. I‘m a little nervous about leaving tomorrow and having her drive herself. Next week I come back for surgery her other eye!
Luckily my son lives in the same town, so I got to see him also.
I‘m reading Eight Hundred Grapes 🍇 🍷 and enjoying it.

tpixie @dabbe thanks. It‘s good to be with my sister! She‘s a widow and I just can‘t have her be by herself after a surgery … she probably didn‘t really need me too much, but I think it is comforting for her to have me here. I‘m not certain so feel comfortable to drive tomorrow… it‘s weird after cataract surgery, you don‘t have glasses that work right for you. And she can‘t get a correct pair until four weeks after her next surgery next week. 2w

dabbe @tpixie I went through the same thing with my mom, though she was able to stay home and didn't drive. You'd think the docs in this day and age would be able to do something for just this situation! I'll be keeping my 🤞🏻 that all goes well. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

tpixie @dabbe thanks! Seems like first surgery was good. The 5 weeks of the wrong glasses will be tough! I‘m sure your mom was so grateful for your help 🩵 (edited) 2w

dabbe @tpixie I'd like to think she was. Thanks for that, m'dear. 🩶🩷🩶 2w

DogMomIrene A neighbor of ours had cataract surgery a couple years ago. Her son drove her for the actual surgery, but we drove her for the follow up. Does your sister use Uber or Lift? I know they‘re not ideal services, but in a pinch they may work. 2w

tpixie @DogMomIrene she can use uber. We talked about that. I had to leave yesterday because I work this week. And then I‘ll be back on Thursday for her second surgery. She did have a Friend drive her to bridge yesterday. Hopefully she knows her limits 2w

DogMomIrene @tpixie Sounds like she does! And I‘m impressed with how quickly people recover from cataract surgery these days. I remember my grandmother having multiple surgeries with long recovery times and not always great results. Sending her some healing vibes. 2w

tpixie @DogMomIrene thanks! Great news! 🗞️ she went to where she buys her glasses regularly & he‘s going to set her up with a pair of clear lenses on top & readers on the bottom with 1 of her old pairs of glasses. For free! She‘s been a loyal customer for a long time. Great customer service! She did drive there & was nervous about it & now she has a headache and is a little nauseated. The clear glasses on top I think will help with that! (edited) 2w

DogMomIrene @tpixie That is great news and customer service! Also pretty clever solution. 2w

tpixie @DogMomIrene 🦚🦚🦚 have a great day! I‘m dragging myself from my book to get ready for work! 2w

Eight Hundred Grapes: A Novel | Laura Dave

Eight Hundred Grapes 🍇 was the 1st book of this author that I wanted to read- but it turned out to be the 3rd book of hers that I‘m reading. She may be becoming a favorite author of mine!
Did you know it takes 800 grapes to make one bottle of wine? 🍇 🍷 🍇

I was surprised by this. I thought it would be Italy or France.

Winemakers: A Novel of Wine and Secrets | Jan Moran

Wine and books. Hmm. I like the social aspects of this idea. A place to hang out, read and 🍷. My brain goes straight to spilling the wine. https://youtu.be/mBYn_l8Ik5A?si=33ZVgruFxAqYVHGs

I finished this book ages ago but haven't been able to find words to review it. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! I devoured the audiobook and have been rereading the print book here and there when I miss the characters. Just such a decadent story with lust & pining, wanderlust & cuisine, and a great exploration of sexuality & gender. I adore these two bisexual disasters 💖
