The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.
~ Marcel Proust

SUBJECT: Dilate
I took today off from work and went to the eye doctor. It had been three years since my last exam and my vision was getting a bit blurry, especially with my contacts. I went ahead and let them dilate my pupils as I've recently started experience "floaters". GAHHHH! I'm old ... but not quite that old. I was able to avoid bifocals for another year!

SUBJECT: E
This is my letter E (also in sign language and in braille) for the Christmas collaborative project at church. Twenty of us were given a 12" x 12" canvas and told to do some sort of interpretation of that letter. The only requirement was that we use a 9" capital letter.
When all 20 of these canvases are put together, they will say:
JESUS: LIGHT OF THE WORLD
I'll get a photo of the completed project too!

My newspaper was smaller than the ads for Black Friday. Although I was tempted by the laptop a Walmart, I decided staying home would be less expensive!
