Tired Old Eyes

Sorry that I haven’t had much to say the last couple of days. As the weather has gotten nicer, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer. The last two days I have even gotten a walk in at work, besides my regular lunchtime walk on Thursday when I had to run an errand about a half mile away. Who wants to drive there when it is so lovely out? Today I didn’t get my usual walk in at lunchtime, because a bunch of us went to an Indian buffet, but we did walk back from it. (One of my coworkers, who was leaving right after lunch, drove us down.) Right now I have about half my steps in for the day, so soon I will be going for another walk outside.

Another reason I probably haven’t been writing as much is that it seems like I am getting presbyopia – I’m getting to be that age, and things look blurry when I try to read, but not at a distance. Sigh… I had a good decade without needing any corrective lenses, having been terribly nearsighted before my LASIK surgery, but all good things must come to an end. After a long day of looking at tiny little print, the last thing I want to do is look at more little print on a computer screen. And I clearly have nothing to say today, if this is all I can come up with. What surprised me is how quickly it seemed to hit – two weeks ago I didn’t notice anything, and then BAM everything was blurry. Unless it is something more serious, but trust me, you do not want to do a Google search on the causes of blurry vision, or you will really think you are dying. I am pretty sure I’m not dying, just getting older. The weird thing is I just had an eye checkup about a month ago, and this wasn’t a problem then. Will they think I’m crazy if I ask for another one?
