Ah, well this post explains why I’ve been getting a file not found type of error when I try to go to your page from my favorites. I was going through deleting nonworking links today and figured I’d either figure out how to see your site, or you’d quit posting. Glad to see it’s the former!

Congrats to you both…how exciting, and a huge relief, I’m sure! Just want to say that many, many years ago, I had a month of intense deadline writing and at the end my eyes hurt, too. If I looked at a long view it was if my eyes couldn’t deal with anything that wasn’t right in front of my face (a monitor, perhaps?). What really helped — looking at lots of things in the far distance. I stared out of windows a lot. Looked a bit insane maybe, but it really helped my eyes.

Congratulations on your manuscript delivery.

Regarding the eye strain. Go see an optometrist for glasses. After going to a really fine Stanford educated Ophthalmologist (a good idea every few years) and having my first ever prescription glasses made – at 47 – from his prescription, I returned them as they were not right. Two years later and short the $400 I went to the optometrist at Costco ($70) and now have really comfortable (with prisms!) progressive lenses.

Optometrists do the prescription thing better. It is what they do.

I was just laughing over here as I was reading along while your mom is winking at me. Very awesome!
Laughing as I keep getting these multi packs of reading glasses from whereever – they work well and my heart no longer drops in fear when my kids grab the glasses left on the counter –
However, I am right there with you. Last few days I have felt like an alien is trying to grow from the center of my eyeball. Wine seems to help…. Congratulations on delivering your manuscript!!! XO

Lookin’ good. Congrats on the move and double congrats on the book. I’m so impressed with your deadline meeting skills and I think I’m going to have another baby just so the jokes will be even funnier.

Hurrah for your manuscript! And your WordPress migration! And all that champagne in your fridge! My god, don’t tell me when you’re going out of town or I’ll be straight over to drink it. You’ll come home and be all “darling, didn’t we have a Veuve in here?”

Congrats, congrats! I’m looking forward to the book. I have a dear friend who is pregnant with her first! BTW when it comes to Veuve Cliquot, special order, (or if you can find some place that stocks) the demi sec!
