I am tired

I have been working on Retro Daisy Granny Squares. I will make 13 and then (in theory) make them into a nice tote bag that someone requested. Here is the thing…

I made four:

And then yesterday I could not make them anymore. My brain just could not do the pattern correctly. It was very strange and disconcerting. I had to stop so I could stop wasting yarn. The flower dragonfly fabric in the background will be the liner for the tote.

At Mahjong last week I said to someone “It is going to come to blows, me & you”. A couple of things, how annoyed do you think I had to be to say something like that? Do you think anyone playing mahjong has ever threatened violence before?

Aside from that I am really enjoying it. It is weird to play something that is so simple, yet so complicated.

I also went to the eye doctor last week. Very excited to get new glasses. My prescription is no longer quite right for my distance vision. I haven’t gotten new glasses in a couple of years and since I wear rimless glasses they do tend to get bent up and twisty. The current paid did pretty well until I couple of months ago and now suddenly they are falling off my nose and crooked and have a chip in left lens in a crucial place.

The cataract in my right eye has not gotten any worse so probably no surgery to correct it. The replacement lens in left eye is starting to get a little cloudy so in another year or two I will have to have it cleaned with a laser. Ugh.

I am one breath away from super whiny so I will go find some breakfast and try to turn into a nicer person.
