Anger Management
So last night, after dinner, I went outside to shoot some hoops and clear my head. After 20 minutes, it dawned on me that I hadn’t made a single shot and instead had simply been slamming the basketball off the backboard with much more force than was at all necessary.
It was then that I realized that perhaps I still had a touch of repressed anger over this whole Glaucoma thing and not being able to see the book I was trying to read earlier that day, the paperwork I was trying to fill out, the code I was trying to edit….
Granted, not every day is that, neither in terms of how well I can see nor how frustrated I get over it, but yesterday evidently was.
Today was nice and cloudy, and everything I needed to read was on a screen, in text that I could enlarge to do so. I’m getting used to that part. It’s when I pick up a sheet of paper, a book or a magazine that this all still gets to me.
