I’m not blind… yet.
I worked on my quilt for two and a half hours this evening, although it didn’t feel longer than a movie like that. It was a nice end to a rough day at work. Nothing bad happened, it just wasn’t productive. I toiled and toiled and nothing came of it, I wasn’t able to put much in my outbox. I went to Target during my lunch hour to buy a sheet to use as border and backing for the quilt and they didn’t have what I needed so my break wasn’t even productive.
Well, I did buy a new contacts case which was useful. Until recently a month or so ago I used the recalled brand of contact solution (AMO Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution) so I followed the instructions and tossed my case to buy a clean, microbe-free new one. I haven’t gone blind yet so I think I’m ok. If I do lose an eye because it turns out I do have the highly improbable infection, I’ll shrug and say, “I hadn’t gone blind yet so I thought I was ok”, and we’ll all laugh.

“Round about the cauldron go;
In the poisoned entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Sweltered venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
All Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.”
- Act 4, Scene 1, MacBeth, William Shakespeare
Don’t toil too much!
