Passing time

What can you do when your vision is impaired?

I'm finding out. As an artist, having vision problems is pretty frustrating and humbling.  My current condition prevents me from going out, reading or typing except with one eye closed, and even walking within the house  is disorienting.  I'm coming close to having my vertical double vision "adjusted".  Why it's double is still part of my medical mystery. Tuesday won't come soon enough. I only hope those prisms work.  In the meantime, I am typing this with one eye closed, so your eyes won't get tired by the length of the post.

I've discovered audio books but they put me to sleep!  That's a good tip for insomniacs.  I can view pictures on  my I Pad if it is my lap without too much distortion. I'm so glad I found Pinterest and set it up before I ended up in hospital.  It is a great diversion and  I'm finding lots of artist whose blogs I follow. My boards are quite varied because of my dual careers. You have to wade around to find the art.  If you haven't checked out Pinterest already here's the link to my boards.  If you are using Pinterest I would love to follow you.

Take time

Symphony, 5 x 7, mixed media

It's important to take time for yourself and your family. Luckily Christmas seems to be a natural break at the end of the year when we are given time to do things and see people we might have neglected over the year. I'm taking that time starting today. I'll still be reading but not writing.

Have a happy holiday everyone.
