State of the me, again
Wednesday, December 13th, 2017 09:34 pmI should wash dishes because I have no more cups for the morning soy milk. But I'm not going to because I've washed the dishes at work for the last three days, even if I was on the dishwashing shift for only one of them, and I have a non-healing crevice in my thumb from dryness and washing hands and washing dishes. Have applied New Skin (for the old ceremony, she adds automatically) several times today. It burns and doesn't provide quite enough protection. So I shall have to use a regular mug for the soya tomorrow.
All this year I've used environmentally indefensible but oh so convenient one-a-day contact lenses in my left eye. They're thinner even than my one a month lenses so I can wear them in the worst of the allergy season(s). In the usual way of things I spend on average three or four months a year on one eye. The brain adjusts to one good eye and one bad, so I can bike and see the screen and play solitaire without difficulty: the foggy eye gives me depth without affecting the clear one's distance focus. But brain has had no such exercise this year and the result is that I can't do any of the above. Must have a lens in or else I can't operate.
Oddly enough, walking in boots is proving easier than walking in shoes. Lower back seems to prefer them. It's still not exactly *pleasant*, but it's a great improvement over the last three months. Or maybe it's just my Gandalf staff that allows me to stretch out more easily than walking unaided. I'm still a bit disconcerted by this, but oh-so-grateful that knees aren't having the conniptions of a year ago when walking on bumpy surfaces.
