So Boring

 Having nothing to do all day but watch TV is so boring. I had my second eye surgery this morning and it went well. Better than the first one, in fact, because I spoke up for myself and got the second dose of sedation that got overlooked the first time. I brought it up to everyone except the receptionist and it paid off in a much more enjoyable experience. My eye is foggy and blurry, the same as the right eye was after surgery, and I know it'll clear up gradually over the next couple days. Whew.

While I waited for my ride this morning I opened the daily art book and did the drawing for today. It said to do a tonal sketch of an everyday object. I chose the wooden vase that Grandpa Stephan turned on his lathe. It's one of my favorite objects and I see it every day. Turned out pretty well. I tried to draw the next figure in one of the drawing books later in the afternoon but with only one seeing eye I just couldn't manage it so I'll give it a pass today and try again tomorrow.

Then I tried to knit. I managed one round of brioche before my eye started to ache so I set it aside and resigned myself to sitting in front of the boob tube all day. *sigh*

The lilies are still going crazy up there on the retaining wall. And I haven't seen the cat.

Being afraid of stairs I was reluctant to go down into the basement to wind yarn (which I want to do, I want to start a sock) or find something to toss so I didn't do that either. I couldn't even rustle up a decent nap so it was a long day. I'm even back here to blog an hour early because I just can't face another hour of TV.
