little villain in my eye<\/a> was gone, but it had left behind a sore spot. Anti-inflammatory eye drops should do the trick.<\/p>\nAt first they did. I expected them to take a couple of days for full effect, but surprisingly I felt better after the first dose.<\/p>\n
My eye felt better, anyhow. The rest of me felt “rode hard and put up wet” after too much recent stress. I was useless. Felt like napping, but I’m not very good at that. Finally in the afternoon I forced myself outside. Ava and I went deep into the woods where we haven’t been in a long time and we found one of our old favorite walks still open despite the ubiquitous forest closures.<\/p>\n
Ava enjoyed one of the best romps she’s had in months and I got the cobwebs blown out of my brain and body. Rain fell on us, but it was gentle and mild. We didn’t mind a bit.<\/p>\n

But I’m not one of those paragons who remain stalwart and stoical when I don’t feel well. Best to avoid me today. I wish I could avoid myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

As I’d begun to suspect, the doc said the little villain in my eye was gone, but it had left behind a sore spot. Anti-inflammatory eye drops should do the trick. At first they did. I expected them to take a couple of days for full effect, but surprisingly I felt better after the first dose. My eye felt better, anyhow.
