Every Day Matters #11 - Draw your glasses

Pen and Ink

These are my reading glasses that I keep on my beside table.  I am blind without my glasses and must wear them all the time. My regular glasses have those invisible bifocals. This is great for everyday use, however, when I want to read extensively, or read in bed, I find them awkward. I had an old pair of glasses fitted with my reading prescription and they are perfect for extended reading or for reading in bed.

The holder was a gift from our son, when he was much younger. He thought this was hilarious. I find it whimsical, and I always know where my glasses are.

Every Day Matters #2 - Draw a Table Lamp

My Lamp on My Bedside Table
Pen and Ink with Digital Colour

This is one of those lamps that you touch to turn on and off. It has three brightness settings and goes from low to medium to bright with each touch, then off with the fourth touch. Unfortunately the lamp has stopped working. It does not turn off now so I have to unplug it to turn it off. I have not decided if I am going to get it repaired or just get a new lamp. I have had this one over 25 years.

This is my bedside table. On it is my lamp, the current book I am reading (sometimes I have a paper book and sometimes I have one of my eReaders with an eBook that I am reading), a small decorative box of treasures, my reading glasses on a whimsical nose-shaped holder (a gift from my son when he was little), and my Jesus (a gift from a priest when I was 12 years-old).

I did not draw the doily or the teddy bear that is also on my bedside table. I also have my glasses case for my everyday glasses, a box of tissues, an old clock radio, and my iTouch that I use as an alarm clock.
