I’m less blurry today. The fear that I’ve willingly blinded myself for life is beginning to subside. I have moments of clarity that support the plan that I’ll be able to see normally, without corrective lenses. This week hasn’t been much fun. There hasn’t been much I could do. People … Continue reading →
Frustrating day for me. Vision is blurry, doesn’t seem to be improving. Can’t see things close up; can’t see them at a distance. Fortunately, still no pain in the eyes. Mild stinging prevails. Tearing is less than yesterday. I could sit on the couch and see the larger Weather Channel … Continue reading →
Still nothing I’d really call pain. My eyes are tearing like crazy, causing my nose to run. I feel a slight stinging. If this is the worst there is, I have to ask, “What’s the fuss?” My vision is particularly blurry today, but that’s not unexpected either. I believe I … Continue reading →
As far as I can tell, the procedure went very well. My doctor was quite enthused during the procedure. And as laser surgeries go, mine was longer than many–37 seconds on the right eye; 34 seconds on the left eye. Things are still blurry, put I’m not wearing glasses, and … Continue reading →

Too bad Twilight doesn’t have it (and I think this needs a different name, too, but that’s for another day). I have a lot of cutting and pasting waiting for me as I sift this timeline. Lest you think I’m not happy about this, I think the parts of revision … Continue reading →
My two main protags on in an office beginning a conversation, and the words end. How did this happen? Did they get deleted somewhere? I figured that was it. When I knitted the individual daily files into one big file, the end of one file got cut off. No problem. … Continue reading →
As you can see, I’m not performing a clear-cut operation here. Mostly, I’m doing a little thinning. I cut a few words I really enjoyed tonight, but they don’t fit for the direction things need to go. I’m trying to take some of the bolder items and shift them to … Continue reading →
Not bad. I’m getting a few words knocked out each night. I managed to cut a few more words tonight, but I was in a section devoted to Charlie and Harold. Charlie and Harold are what I love about this book, so they are staying. The next section deals with … Continue reading →
