I spent the better part of the day doing the tedious job of reformatting fourteen chapters’ worth of PowerPoint slides for some online supplemental materials we’re developing. I can think of a lot of things I’d rather spend the day doing. But I think I managed to fix everything, so hopefully we can just upload them sometime next week. And then I can move on…to that other book’s PowerPoint slides I still have to edit. Ah, joy.
At least it’s a three-day weekend. Which is actually really nice, coming so soon after this past week’s unexpected snow day. I know I’m ready for the weekend.
Meanwhile…not much. My father is having a little problem with his eye, some blurred vision he went to see his eye doctor and then a specialist about today. It’s apparently nothing too serious, and also isn’t necessarily indicative of anything else that is serious, but I think he’s a little worried — and therefore so am I — that his vision might not improve, or might get worse. (“Even if you end up losing the eye, you can still drive,” the specialist told him, not very reassuringly.) My father has a follow-up appointment for treatment in a little over a week, so hopefully he’ll be fine.
On the plus side, did I mention it’s the weekend?
Yikes – that is not a reassuring thing to say at all. I hope it clears up quickly for him. Two eyes are much better than one!
