Without my glasses, I had to press the book almost up to my nose and then pull it away again as I reached the edge of the page. I tried valiantly to dissolve into the story but my head was pounding and the main character was annoyingly arrogant.

I tried my cat trick. Each time I inhaled, I squeezed my eyes half shut then relaxed on the exhale. I imagined settling haughtily onto my stool and purring. I dozed in and out, chasing light daydreams.
