I discovered I have something like eye fatigue:
Asthenopia (aesthenopia) or eye strain is an ophthalmological condition that manifests itself through nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, red eyes, eye strain, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache and occasional double vision. Symptoms often occur after reading, computer work, or other activities that involve tedious visual tasks.
Decreased focusing capability is mitigated by wearing a small plus powered over-the-counter glasses (+1 to +1.50). It helps such patients regain their ability to focus on near objects. Other occupations such as tailors engaged in embroidery can experience similar symptoms and can be helped by these glasses.
I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the computer, to the point that reading a book was exhausting. So now I wear reading glasses, and feel so much better! Yay!

Birthday update: my day was pleasant. i heard from most of the friends who i thought i'd hear from. my parents know better not to give gifts but money so that makes me happy. that night we went to a little mexican resturant, ate burritos...and at the end they sang happy birthday, put a sombero on my head and threw a spoonful of whip cream on my nose!
