Cool On The Exterior, Warm Within
Blind as a Bat

I realise that my eyesight has been worsening recently. Still good enough for me to move around with ease but not where clarity is concerned. Features of people are muddled from afar and only sharpen when they are within the proximity of one arm's length. And I suspect that I may have strained more than one friendship with my blindness. I was passing by the marketplace that day after my jog and lazy me had neglected to don either my specs or contacts. Out of the corner of my eye, I thought I sensed someone looking at me and looked in his direction. It was not until I was half a football field away that a nagging feeling told me that it had been an acquaintance I had snubbed. How dreadful.
It's back to specs for the time being while AMO sorts out their contamination incident. Sigh X 3. First, it was Bausch and Lomb half a year ago, now its AMO. Who next? Apparently, even Renu has had a similar fall from grace previously. Who is trustworthy, you tell me.
It is perhaps ironical that at this point of time, I have never seen my shortcomings more clearly than ever before. So much to improve on and so much more to learn. One more month before 2006 ends for me to become a better woman!
