So I am 14 days out from cataract surgery and my motivation to write (my day job) has crashed.

Reading/writing is quite fatiguing at present because of my deteriorating sight, and knowing it's going to get better after a specific date is hugely demotivating in the intervening term!

(On the other hand I last took a significant stretch of time off last October. Hmm.)

@cstross This sounds like a fantastic time to train your cat to do the typing for you. (I think you have 2 cats? I'm sure one is more trainable than the other...)
@nesce Only the one, and she prefers to snipe at the typist.

@cstross Ah, she's sniping because she wants a go. (I'm nodding now so it must be true.)

(My kitto preferred to drape her self over my hands/arms, all the better to incapacitate me.)
