Ugh… I think it’s time to try wearing my computer reading glasses again. I know I’m a bit overdue for a eye doctor appointment as well. My tension headaches seem to be coming back. They’re kind of a circular problem — I have a little trouble seeing my computer screen so I unconsciously strain forward, which makes my neck hurt, which soon escalates into a tension headache, which in turn makes my eyes act funny, repeat from beginning.

Of course, these tension headaches always seem to coincide with something I have to do. This time around I’m driving down to Phoenix with my dad tomorrow. He’s coming up to pick me up tonight because I’m spending the night at my parents house so we can get an early start. Unfortunately, my dad’s idea of an early start for a drive like this is 6 am (and I mean car pulling out of driveway at 6 am, not waking up at 6 am). *groan* We’ll be going to my grandfather’s memorial, then returning with my grandfather’s rolltop desk.

Twelve hours down and twelve hours back… plenty of time for knitting, right? As long as I don’t get sick to my stomach from trying to read the lace chart.
