Strain

[calissa]

Apparently there’s such a thing as too much reading.

Last week I had some trouble with my eyesight. Both the doctor and the optometrist agreed it was eye strain. I had to drastically reduce the amount of time I spent reading and using the computer. As a consequence, there will be no posts this week.

At this stage, blogging should resume as normal next week. However, my recovery has been slow and I may need some extra time. I’ll be sure to let you know if that turns out to be the case.

In the meantime, I’m keeping myself entertained by listening to the archives of the Reading the End podcast. The Demographically-Similar Jennys are utterly charming and make podcasting seem like a lot of fun. They review books across a range of genres (though tending towards the literary), play games and discuss their thoughts on common tropes. I highly recommend them.

Hope to see you all next week.

Say it ain't so!

I prescribe a nice cup of tea, and hope you'll be back to normal voracious reading soon.

I know! I feel this is a personal affront.

And thank you. I'm already starting to do better, though I'm not quite back to my usual speed.

Take as much time as you need, we'll be around.

Thank you!

Eep. I hope your eyes recover soon!

[calissa]

Thank you. I'm getting there slowly.

Ugh, that's awful. I hope your eyes recover posthaste! How dare they try to stop you from reading?

[bunny_m]

I know!

Best learn Braille, that'll show those eyes!

[calissa]

Reading Braille would be such an awesome skill to have.

It's an outrage!
