Getting old sucks.
I have had some eye trouble recently. Bloodshot eyeballs, red enough to scare the children.
Two eye doctors can find no significant issues, seems it is down to 'dry eyes' and 'eye strain' attributed to reading and writing, books or screens or both. I am not doing a lot more reding, the doc says that it is simply aging. We all know there are parts of us that don't perform quite as well as they used to, so I am instructed to read less.
This is disappointing. I was hoping it would be an illness that modern medicine could fix. It isn't, it is just getting older, there's no fix.
On the plus side, there will be fewer short stories from the ricelands appearing on TD.
Now, WTF am I going to do all day? (Rhetorical question, I'll not be logging on to read all the witty answers.)
