I want to go back to sleep
Monday morning so of course I am tired and want to be at home. Ho hum; some things never change.
I have decided that I hate my glasses. I am lucky that I am only supposed to wear them for using the computer as apparently I have a slight astigmatism in one eye, the left one I think and my eyes get tired compensating. Other than that and a touch of presbyopia on account of my age, my eyes are fine. The optician even says that I have 20-20 vision in my weaker left and better than that in my right. I don’t know how that works: I Thought 20-20 was the best you could get. Maybe I was exposed to red kryptonite as a child or something.
Anyway. I hate my glasses. Try as I might, I cannot perfect the Giles manoeuvre; I thought I had, but I haven’t. I end up polishing them to compensate for the effects of my last polishing session, which just redistributes the smears in new and exciting ways around the lenses.
That apart, I find that over the weekend I have had some congestion on my chest. Not much, but enough to have me clearing my throat every quarter of an hour or so. Since I stopped smoking what, nearly 15 months ago now, I have barely coughed even when I had a cold, so I noticed when it all started up. There’s nothing much to it, but it’s annoying.
Maybe my lungs have finally realised that the healthy layer of tar they have had for the past 30 years isn’t going to be replenished and it is finally clearing out. Any of you who are ex-smokers, maybe you could confirm how long it takes? And yes, I know that it takes about a million years for them to recover completely, if ever.
