Here's to perfect eyesight and a full head of hair.* in The Napkin.

Ever go outside and feel like someone is throwing salt into your eyes? That’s my life now.

Indoors isn’t much easier.

Eyes weren’t that bad last month. Definitely not THIS bad. Sobriety is supposed to IMPROVE your eyesight, not retard it.

Litter boxes are skimmed. Floor is vacuumed. Windows are closed, so no pollen. Sink is clear. Air filter is going. Pillowcases are washed. New eyemasks for sleeping. And with ongoing sobriety, I’ve factored out all the “duh’ reasons for why both my eyes are bloodshot, light sensitive, and burning at times.

I have an appointment next Tuesday at the same place I got referred to last November. Right eye is pretty much shut when I drive. Left blinks a lot. It’s like playing an FPS with 2-5 frames per second. Yeah. I’m getting a ride to OMEG. (Told you I’m on good terms with the wife despite being separated.)

I haven’t had 100% vision in a little over three years. Never take the casual ability to admire clouds for granted.

Meh. Can’t wait until Tuesday. GIVE ME DROPS.
