I'm made of money this week apparently.

Eye doctor's today. I need a new prescription, plus it has to be bifocals. Or as the store calls it "Progressive" lenses. I have the training wheels version of bifocals because I've never had to wear them before.

So while my regular vision is actually improving, I'm completely blind up close now.

Bifocals, argh. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to need them, although up till now my eye doctor has just kind of shrugged and said, "It's up to you."

I had bifocals when I was nine or ten to train my eyes to do something or other. It didn't work. I'm not looking forward to having them again, though I suspect the technology has greatly improved since 1972.

I'm getting tired of looking over my glasses when I want to see something close up, so I may cave next time and get the darn things.

I know how you feel. I'm not looking forward to getting used to using them.

But I have to face the fact that I really, really need them. I'm constantly flipping my glasses off to read up close.

I think this is a major contributor to my headaches and neck strain.

Man it sucks getting old.

On a separate note, I hope everything is going well with this month's procedure. *fingers crossed*

So far, so good. Of course, we're only a day and a half in.
