#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Monday after Easter. A rough night with the Chipster. All three of us up with him at various times. Not sure what was up. I had a challenging day. I did get some time to quickly pull out an old poem and tweak it for poetry workshop. Then went out to do some yard work by the river and had a good time. Somehow, though, I got something in my eye and for the life of me I couldn’t clear it in the shower or many other rinsing methods and had to go into poetry workshop feeling pretty miserable with my eye and could barely see. I kept thinking it would work its way out. No luck. So, I feel like I’ll just not go forward with this old poem. I feel a bit stuck with where I want to go right now. But really, the eye had all my attention today. My daughter couldn’t help me clear it. Finally in the afternoon Frank was free to try. I was sure there was an actual stick in my eye cause that’s how it felt. Completely distracting and uncomfortable and put me in a very bad mood. Frank did his best and then we gave up and went to urgent care. He put a pirate patch over my eye and that helped a little til we got there. The nurse said she thought I’d probably scratched it and there was nothing there but a scratch. But I got a very nice and effective doc who made sure there was no scratch and turned my eyelid up and found the speck! Yes, all that commotion and discomfort for the tiniest speck of something from the brush pile for heaven’s sake. Size of a pinhead! Oh was I happy and relieved! Yay! My eyesight back! Took the rest of the night off. I really need some quiet time. Tonight I was pleased to post my Easter collage series in full. So, no poem is working for today but I like the series of collages.
