My eyes and head feel fine today, thanks for the concern. I think I may have an idea of what triggered yesterday's episode, perhaps...

Over the weekend, I attended two craft classes at Let It Bead in downtown Portland. It was awesome and totally reignited my interest in jewelry making. The past few nights, I've been practicing some of the trickier stuff I learned to do with wire, which involves some pretty tiny detail. I think just focusing on that stuff for hours at a time put a lot of strain on my eyes that they weren't used to. I definitely felt my vision coming and going a lot as I stayed up and worked with that wire. But I imagine it'll get better as it becomes more routine for me, and maybe it's something simple reading glasses can help. I finished my first complete wire-beaded necklace last night, and while it's basic and sloppy, I'm super proud of it and happy that I'm learning this new skill. I haven't decided if my crafts will come with me to Falcon Ridge. Probably not, but we'll see what kind of room I have in my suitcase after I pack tonight.

I got upgraded for my flight (Porland to Newark), so that'll be sweet. I set my alarm for 3:50am...that'll give me more than enough time to get my shit together and to the gate for my 6am departure. Since I'm in first class, I should be able to sleep pretty soundly for most of the flight. Here's hoping!

I'll be at Falcon Ridge tomorrow, y'all!!!! There are not enough exclamation marks in the world!
