When I look at a screen everything is blurry. This is bad. This is also called Computer Vision Syndrome or something nearabouts. It is the result of staring at screens for too long. Of course, in the lands of Covid all I do is stare at screens. What I find most odd about this situation is that it only began (again) after I ended my side job.
Perhaps I have been playing more games, and that is the real issue here. If so, I need to figure out balance. In the meanwhile, I am going back to the woods.
The woods trip is mostly unrelated to the eye situation. I am going to the woods to recharge and connect with the natural world. I might freeze to death, but given the locale I won’t be chased by a mountain lion. I could be assaulted by a bear, and that is even more terrifying. I ought to bring the machetes so I can at least pretend to be able to defend myself.
The last time we were out and about in this fashion we encountered a skunk. It was not so much scary as it was worrisome. Skunks don’t hurt you but they do end the trip very quickly. One spray and… you get it.
Some Thoughts:
- The NFL probably is not going to make it. Youth football still might (out of blind forthright parental desire) but the NFL feels like a house of cards set to topple.
- Heck, I may not ever be the same after this. I’ve lost all sense of normal.
