My cold began improving yesterday. I 'm off the cold meds but still drinking lots of liquids. I haven't really felt like doing any sewing or blogging or reading or anything that required the least bit of effort. But today is going to be different. I'm going to get out of the pajamas and put on some actual clothes. I'm going to work on making some doctor appointments that I've been needing to make. And maybe I'll even sew a stitch or two. Maybe.
One of the doctor appointments will be with my eye doctor. My eyesight has gradually got so bad that I am having a really hard time doing anything. It's like there's a coating of Vaseline or something across my eyeballs. And at its worst, I feel like I have sticks or trash in my eyes. Scratchy. I'm using eyedrops and doing the hot wet compresses, but none of that seems to help a whole lot. I can still read and sew if I have a really bright light. But computer work is really hard. So if you find typos and stuff in this post, try to overlook them. I'm a pretty good typist, so maybe this will at least be readable.
Happy Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras, everyone. My plan was to have the family over for gumbo and king cake this evening, but dealing with this cold interfered with those plans. So if you're doing a traditional Mardi Gras meal, have some goodies for me. And laissez les bon temps roulez.

If it seems like you are looking through Vaseline you may have cataracts. I had mine removed from both eyes a few years ago and it made a HUGE difference.

I'll feast on what's left of the "profound" soup I made Sunday. If it had some okra, I guess I could call it gumbo.

Welcome back! Love your lace heart, charming china heart, and lovely china cups.
Bless your sweet heart, honey! It's a bummer to the max to be slowed down in all directions from the miseries of a bad cold and cloudy, scratchy eyes. As Chris wrote, it could be cataracts or it could be corneal abrasions. It's good you plan to see appropriate doctors so you'll feel better.
Happy Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras to you, too!
Hugs!

Well, I am glad you are feeling better. Colds kind just take everything out of you!
