Tunnel Vision

For the past few days, I have been living in a hazy nether-world. A world without definition or solidity. Where catastrophe could strike at any time. No I am not in Beirut. I have merely been living without my glasses.

Thanks to a sequence of events too stupid to be described, I am lacking both in contact lenses and regular eyewear at the moment, and so have been reduced to squinting my way to and from work. Television is out of the question. Movies? Unlikely. And computer use is begining to make me feel like a Dumas character, or at least Mr. Magoo.

All this being said, I'm quite enjoying my enforced blindness. There's something mildly therapeutic in avoiding definite contact with the world's problems. And if a Katyusha missile comes at me, I won't need to see it coming.
