Running silent(ish)

Posted on December 29, 2018 by Sue Vincent

The recent bout of lurgy
Made a bee-line for my eyes,
So, although I’m feeling better,
It was really no surprise
That every post I scheduled,
Both the reblogged ones and mine,
I found I’d set for publishing
In twenty-sixty-nine.

The keyboard’s playing up again,
My fingers are no better,
Between them I’m mistyping stuff
And every other letter
Is disappearing, though I’ve pressed
With forefinger and thumb
(Though keys may just be sticking
On an errant Christmas crumb…)

And so, now posts are scheduled,
What with hands and eyes that ache,
I’m turning the computer off
And giving them a break.

Okay, I’ll be checking in, but my time online will be minimal for a few days, while my eyes get chance to sort themselves out.

    Oh, I’m sorry about your eyes. I have dry eyes and know how horrible it is to have sore eyes. I use a spray which you spray on the eyelids and it helps – as long as I do it before my eyes are red and stinging and watering (despite being ‘dry’ my eyes still water), whch of course I never do because when they’re fine I forget about them. And, yes, the computer screen is one of the worst culprits. I hope a few days away from the screen will help.

    It’s a good idea to give your eyes a rest
    That is definitely for the best
    In a few days you can put them through the test
    And if they pass you’ll feel less stressed.

    Oh, Sue. Don’t assume a few days away from the screen will fix it. Eyes give you clues if something is not right. Hopefully you only need rest. Regardless, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

    Great idea Sue. Step aside from the computer. We all need a break – especially a technical break. Our eyes will thanks us. Feel better soon. ❤
