Tired and a little sore

...but still good. The school gym class is adding a strength component to my pool and bike routine that is challenging my core. Lots of times modeling is the most useful for the students, so I'm happy to oblige.

The tired seems more manageable since I've decided to just go to bed if I'm tired. Sometimes that means I'm awake again by 2 am, but it's better than trying to stay awake and ending up eating the whole time. I'm only using the melatonin maybe once a week to help get caught up when I get too far in the hole and I can live with that.

I'm starting to accept that both of the possibilities for the problem with my eye are likely true. It is still slowly improving, but my lower lid continues to fall away from the eye causing continuing irritation. I remember a few years ago before Knight lumber on Raglan St closed, seeing a man who worked there whose lower lids were completely bogged out leaving his eyes bloodshod from the irritation...I can't help but wonder if that will eventually be my fate too. My upper lids are only held out of my eyes by the lashes and have been so for several years already. I'm truly grateful for my vision so I'm continuing with the cold packs and patience!

Love, elly
