Studio activities for blurry eyes

This morning at my annual eye exam, I bit the bullet and got my pupils dilated. I was assured that I would feel the effects for only 2 to 3 hours. Twelve hours later, I can barely stand to look at this monitor.

Turns out there is still plenty that can be done in the studio even when I can’t see clearly:

Just tidying up the studio in general could have filled the entire day, but I couldn’t bear to do that today. Those pupil dilation drops make me feel like my eyes have a cold — itchy, runny and dry, all at the same time.
