ismoI really need an eyepatch, like a pirate. The possible "light sensitivity" that I was warned about has been pretty significant today. I've been wearing sunglasses and keeping one eye shut like Quasimodo much of the day. I also wince when I move my eye around, which is interesting because it shows how much I use my eyes in facial expressions when I'm talking. I guess the obvious solution would be to stop talking and remain expressionless, but I'm not very good at that.
We're still waking up pretty early. This morning, we took advantage of this to go for a walk while it was still under 80 degrees. The Sparrowhawk kinda ran out of gas toward the end of the walk and had to go rather slowly and painfully for the last few blocks. However, he's very game and says he's glad we did it. I had a lot of other things I was hoping I could get done, but everything just takes so long. I did manage to go to the grocery store and put away all the food, and then do some food prep for the Sparrowhawk. I cut up the chicken so he could marinate it, and chopped up the peppers, mushrooms, onions, and bok choy so they'd be ready to add to the mix.
Our little old people pastime is to go to bed early and watch an episode of Columbo. We have a tv in our bedroom, a legacy from my mother's old apartment, so it's a pretty old tv. It's not hooked up to cable, but only plays DVDs. If we finish watching all the Columbo episodes, we might move on to something else, like a rewatch of Stargate:SG1. It takes a long time because we only do it as a treat, when we're able to go to bed early enough. Last night, we tried, but I fell asleep before the murder had even been committed. The Sparrowhawk is also reading me Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids, one of the books that got him into science fiction as a kid. It is so ridiculous that I complain loudly--when I'm awake! But it's been absolutely hopeless lately, because I fall asleep after only a page or two and then he has to start over the next night. We'll be giving it another try in only a few minutes.
My phone has left Budapest and has entered Germany! It's supposed to get here sometime next week. I am very excite.
