The Most Excellent Reading Glasses


Which can't help make things, like phone pictures, any clearer since I must move while pushing the button.  The long strips to the left are the new ones I have been stitching.  Now to decide if they go along the sides or the top and bottom.  And then to decide what goes on top of this 'base" cloth.  Or if anything goes on it.  That little blue piece (bottom right) is something I painted.  I like it with this.  But where?

I picked up my Dedicated Readers yesterday.  I gave them a test drive late in the afternoon.  Reading Jude Deveraux's As You Wish.  With no problems.  Holding the book 10 inches away.  I usually have the book at arms length.  I was told that is not correct.  And then at 9 pm, I switched to my regular glasses to watch the Alienist.  No problems.  Usually the switch causes smeary vision.  So--happy camper.

G wants to go to the movies today.  I can't remember what he wants to see.  He went to the movies with our daughter on Saturday to see "Red Sparrow".  She had read the book.  G didn't understand any of it.  I have agreed to go to the movies more often.  Hard to find movies that don't offend my sensibilities.  I cover my eyes a lot.  Senseless, violent brutality.  Terror.  Reminds me too much of being five years old and terrified of what was happening in my house.  Not that it was like in the movies--but to a five year old-- terror filled.

I am looking at my desk calendar and see that it is wishing me a happy valentine's day.  Time to move forward.
