I can’t see straight.
That's not just a figure of speech. I can't focus on things properly, and it's been getting worse. I went back to my regular eye doctor… oh, two or three times after my regular checkup in November; I've lost track now.

Writing whinge
It's 11:58 and I don't know where my words are. I've found 55 of them, but the other 695 elude me. Another story idea has whacked me upside the head this morning.
