Vision

Here I sit typing with 1 hand.  The other hand is full of Brie’s sleeping head.  She barges her way onto the computer desk and somehow proceeds to tie me up.  I pet her and find myself pinned by a sleeping head.

I went to the Dr today because of pain in my eye.  This began months ago when I was on Lyrica.  It dried me out so much that my eyeballs weren’t lubricated sufficiently.  I would wake up and feel like there was sand in my eyes.  Evidently that resulted in some abrasions on my eyeball.  The pain had been mild until a couple days ago.  Since it was getting worse I called the doc and got right in this morning.

The diagnosis is dry eyes so now I’m using some eye drops and placing a warm washcloth over my eyes twice a day.  The question now is whether this  will heal and not be a problem (caused by Lyrica) or whether I’ve got a new chronic problem.

I finally have our video security cameras up and operating in what is close to the final configuration.  We haven’t had any problems that caused me to do this.  I just thought it was a good idea.  I’ll run it in this setup for a while and if I’m happy with it I’ll make the installation permanent and more secure.  I put the system together as inexpensively as possible and I’m happy with the results.  I already benefited.  I saw our neighbor’s dog come onto our lawn and begin to squat.  I dashed out and told him to go poop in his own yard—and he did.

I also took Penny back to the fabric shop in Pensacola today and she finished up taking advantage of the great sale they are having.  Before we went there we had lunch at Red Robin.
