It took me a few years to realize I had a problem...while reading, my eyelids were drooping. I thought I was tired? And it turned me off reading. Last year I bought a cookbook holder, and I began using it for reading books. I didn't have the problem when the book was more vertical, and I began reading at almost an insane rate. Just recently, the problem got even worse.

I realized that my eyelids are sagging enough to seriously impede my vision. Anyway, I'm going to see my doctor and discuss surgery (blepharoplasty) to resolve the problem. Very excited! It should improve my reading and my peripheral vision...and I might even look ten minutes younger.
Oh, I'm reading The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes by Leonard Goldberg AND we're going to see "Ready Player One" tomorrow (too much thunder and lightening today).
