Handling Stress This Christmas Season
I love Christmas time. I love the decorations and the music. I love the hustle and bustle of shopping. Now, with that said Sandpoint Idaho is a very laid back sleepy little town. Sooooo MY hustle and bustle is very tame compared to California. THAT, my friend is SOME bustle in my hustle. I used to go Black Friday shopping every year. I even talked my daughter Selena into a (I do mean A) Black Friday 3 am shopping day. She hated every. single. second. You can NOT bribe, pay, entice, or cajole that girl to a Black Friday shopping trip NO MATTER how good the sale is. (Pfffftttt is she really my DAUGHTER??!)

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Eye Doctor
When choosing an eye doctor, looking for various factors is essential. For example, the location of the practice may be a big factor for people with children or who are concerned about having to take time off from work or school to make appointments. A good way to find a qualified eye doctor is to ask for referrals from family and friends. Then, research their credentials and experience. Experience It’s important to find an eye doctor with whom you feel comfortable. After all, you’ll trust them with your eyes and often see them. You’ll want to ensure they treat you with care and compassion and listen to your questions and concerns. Look for a doctor who is known to provide exceptional patient care. Looking at online reviews and asking friends and family for recommendations can help you find the right doctor.
