Present Tense - 1/11


Things have been looking up a little lately.  Although I’m not sure if Jessica has been taking all of her meds, she is at least sleeping a little better.  She seems a less anxious.  I can usually tell by her eyes.  When she gets worse, her eyes change.  I can’t describe it but they become almost weirdly sharp.  When she has had been hospitalized her eyes look like someone else’s.  I’m not sure that makes sense to anyone but me.  It’s almost like her eyes change by degree until they are completely not hers.  Right now, her eyes look good.  They look Jessica’s.

  1. When I was not well my mother and sister described my eyes as being glazed over, distant, and looking straight through an individual. My mother could tell I was not well by her first look at me in jail (in 2007 when I was diagnosed).

    I have not seen this look in my peers' eyes, but my family described what you did... This is also evidence that you and your wife are ensync.
