New work. A bottle of gin. New glasses.
These are the top three things I need right now.
When I look through my glasses, images like this appear on the screen:
And this is a big, big problem because my life revolves around computer activities. Writing. Blogging. Job searching.
I can barely read the text because these glasses are old. I can't remember when I got this prescription. That's another thing that goes on the decline with aging. Memory.
Anyhow, it's been a few years. At that time, I had the means to upgrade my prescription. Now I don't. Now I have the means to pay the rent and not much more.
Now to read the screen, I actually need to remove the eyewear and crane my neck to lean way in till I'm 8 inches from the screen. I measured. Try working in that position all day every day.
It isn't healthy for my psyche or body or work. I'm beginning to suffer persistent headaches and a general malaise that is draining.
There's that saying out of sight, out of mind. Doesn't apply here. Or does it? Because without sight, I am out of my mind.
Dear Universe: Please bring me work that pays abundantly. So that I obtain new glasses and see clearly again and do my work. The gin, well, I can make that drive myself.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
WB
