Ack! I am more and more having to face the fact that my body is aging. I don't think of myself as old, but sometimes when I look in the mirror, I wonder, "Who is that person looking back at me? That's not
my face!" Recently, I hurt my back and I walked around for days like a
crotchety old lady. They think it is a bulging disc and it has pretty much put an end to my workouts...
bleh. Another constant reminder that the old grey mare just ain't what she used to be is my eyesight, my
perfect eyesight! It isn't perfect anymore. Distance vision is great, but it gets harder and harder to read and distinguish things up close. I have glasses that I used to wear as needed when reading or doing needlework. I am finding I
need them now for just about everything! The world is getting blurry! What is even more frustrating is when I need them and I can't find them.
Grrrr. Once, a few years ago, a friend of mine posted a photo on her blog of a lovely beaded chain she had made to hang her glasses on. Maybe that's what I should get? However, it must be a young, hip-looking eyeglass chain lest my ego be totally crushed by the fact that I am reduced to looking like an old spinster librarian!
Okay, so my whine is over. I haven't posted photos lately, so here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.
Progress on my current sock project:

Here is the lovely view we had a week ago at the river.

The end of the day.
