It’s been a long week. Well, a long few weeks during which I wasn’t able to leave the house since I had eye surgery on March 8 and you can’t imagine how antsy I’ve been. The first week, I could hardly look at a screen. The second week I could manage about half hour at a time before my eye went dry or I got a headache. Now, it’s a bit better, but not quite back to normal yet. There’s nothing like a debilitating recovery period to make you appreciate and long for the mundane little details of everyday life!
