Serendipity
Apr. 28th, 2023 11:57 amI had my eye exam scheduled in town a couple days ago. I checked in with my friend there and conveniently was in time to help her move dorms after the exam. Afterwards we sat and chatted and ate sushi; I drove back late, in the light, because it's summer. I don't think I got home till 8:30.
My eyes are great. Vision stuff has no cause in my eyes. Also, about benefits in Canada: eyes aren't covered at all by universal health care, and my employer covers half an eye exam every two years. Whenever I push back gently on the idea of benefits for government work being generally awful, people do one of two things: "I didn't notice because my spouse has insurance and between us things are covered" and "oh, well, there's the pension". The myth persists though.
Not great but not surprising is that I am super exhausted. I got home, slept, went outside when I woke up to try and shake the tiredness, decided to work from home last minute, napped most of my breaks, napped after work, got in to work today and am tired and also it's just as hard to see the screens in here as before. IT doesn't bother me much at home, is this a florescent lights thing?
Very glad to have the timing of the drive into town work out though. Definitely work both the tiredness and the 4-hour-round-trip.
Either way I'm off early today to see if the massage therapist can handle my restless leg stuff caused by the same medication that makes me tired. Trying to scale it back this weekend but I need to do some pottery stuff so we'll see where I end up.
