blurred

We have a line up of 5 articles per month and my deadline (once again) is fast approaching. In fact, the day of the deadline is 1 hour from now. Although, I still have 24 hours to upload the last article for the month of April. (Simply put, I have to upload all the articles before the end of the day tomorrow. And tomorrow happens to be an hour from now.)

But I have one inconvenience right now and it is making this editorial work extremely stressful. I broke my eyeglasses and I couldn't see the letters on this screen clearly. My eyes suffer from astigmatism and near sightedness - strange combination - which required my lenses to have a grade of + -.

See (and I wish I could do just that...), everything is blurred. I am straining my eyes to be able to read. The article I am editing has approximately 1500 blurry words and dozens of punctuation marks in the wrong places. I have to thank God though, that the authors know how to write. Despite the imperfect composition, the sentences happily go together and make a pretty testimony.

Tomorrow though, is Sunday. And I'd rather finish this work today. For my eyes' sake, perhaps you're wondering why I'm even writing this blog. Well, I had to tell someone. Everybody's asleep already. And it's just me and my blurry eyes down here. A sad combination for a time pressed evening.
