Today is Today

I think my eyes are getting considerably worse. I spend quite a bit less time sitting in front of a computer compared to what I used to, but when I take off my glasses my vision is a hell of a lot more blurry than it once was. Honestly, my vision didn’t used to be blurry at all – just a bit dodgy here and there. Combine this with the fact that I got one of my worst light-headaches in a while and it equals the need to get some new glasses before I start school again.

The kids came back and we took the kite out to the park across the street – it was very cool. I actually haven’t flown a kite since I was about twelve or so and it was a hell of a treat. The kids enjoyed it a lot as well. They’re looking forward to Arts & Jazz next weekend – both will be dancing with their school group and Izzy will be dancing with the greenspace dance group on Sunday. I went in and took a spelling, punctuation and grammar test up at UNT as a preliminary for tutoring kids in tech writing and comp classes for the English department up at school, which was a breeze – even having not taken an English class and years and, in a geeky sort of way, was sort of fun. I’m going to try and actually finish The Descent in the next few days without putting it down and get back to the classics. I keep putting that book down – it’s a good story, but not terribly gripping. Not too much going on these days really – it’s an odd place to be in. Not a particularly easy weekend, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
