Seeing clearly

by Cellobella on Tuesday, April 17, 2007

glassesHere I type, wearing my new spectacles. Still getting used to the whole deal, in particular the change in focus to the screen. Reading is so clear I can’t believe I could read before!

They are different to how I remember them too. I didn’t think you could see the blue at the front and I thought the arms were blue – they are on the other side. And they are wider across my face.

So here is where you tell me that I look vastly more intelligent and way younger! :)

Man this multifocal thing makes me feel dizzy!

I could hardly bear to listen to the news today – that whole Virginia Tech massacre chilled me and then the story of the 14-yr-old boy left me feeling sick. I am feeling poorly anyway because I’m getting a cold. But a glass of white and two cold tablets is helping that.

Did anyone see South Park (World of Warcraft episode) last night. The best episode I’ve seen. Hilarious.

Meanwhile, I cleaned out the back room today and discovered my old roller blades. As Numberoneson has the same size feet as me at the moment I thought he could have a go but Junior Poshi got in first and has not taken them off. Note to self: Must get knee pads.

I’ve just discovered that I need glasses. Must be the turning 40 “thing”. My arms won’t stretch much further and my husband is gradually being pushed out of the bed because I like to read on my side facing the middle. I can’t imagine wearing glasses and until now haven’t even been inspired to try any on. You look great. Tomorrow it’s my turn!!

Wow! You totally look vastly more intelligent and way younger!

Yes, it must definitely be a turning 40 thing, I have been putting off a visit to the optometrist – because I’m holding things far, far away from my face to see them, nanna-style.

Damn this ageing thing!

I’m thinking of multi-focals so how bad is the dizzy bit? I tried them way back, 15 years, but kept trying to walk uphill on flat floors.

My multifocals are just for reading and screen work. I don’t wear them for long distance, so there is a bit of looking over the top of my glasses… The eye guy reckoned it would take a week to get used to them. :)
