I Can See! It's A Miracle!

Today might mark the first time I have ever regretted the disadvantages of owning a basic no-frills cell phone telephone whose only extra feature is that it tells the time. Do you have any idea how hard it is to try on glasses frames when you can't actually see yourself through them? If I had a smartass phone, I could take pictures of myself in each pair and examine those, rather than have to stick my face an inch away from the mirrors in the Glasses Place.

So I finally just went with glasses almost the same as the ones I already have, except for the important difference that I can read road signs through the new ones, and I don't spend all day squinting so hard the skin on the back of my scalp gets stretch marks.

Also, I got me some prescription sunglasses. Dang, y'all, I don't know how I got along without these. No longer do I have to put a pair of big dumb shades over my regular glasses. I am all set now!

Damn it's good to live in a time when glasses exist. Every so often I wonder how I'd have gotten along back in the olden times. Even if my eyes didn't get this bad, I would probably spend my life with one hell of a headache.

I got pretty dependent on my clip-on pair in Kenya, because it was that or let my eyeballs sizzle in their sockets. But clip-ons don't work on these frames, so I've been wearing giant crazy ones over my regular glasses, because it's rather NICE to keep the glare reduced.
