Glasses

After hearing me complain routinely about getting headaches at work from staring at a computer all day, Colin pointed out that maybe I need glasses and I should probably get my eyes checked. DUH. Ruby has an astigmatism (what is the plural of astigmatism??) and had reading glasses since forever, before her eyes got worse and she got bifocals in her 40s. Both of her sisters also use reading glasses.

So anyway, I went and got the full work-up with the machines and the diagrams and the pupil dilation... and low and behold, I have an astigmatism in both eyes (worse in the right) and I'm also slightly farsighted. Look who will be getting reading glasses!

I'm actually really happy about this because even though it means I have to shell out a chunk of change (I sure don't have eye insurance... I thought I had 20/20 vision), it also means that there is a SOLUTION to the chronic brain pain I experience at my job.

So.... yep. That's what's going on over here.


p.s. My friends, Ugly Purple Sweater, had an album release party last Saturday, which was awesome. Their new album is helping me with the Monday blues. Check it out.
