Picked up my glasses!
It's going to take some getting used to. In fact, I'm almost a bit... motion-sick!
Anyhow, I put them on and was like, "Whooooooaaaaaaa..." because, I had actually forgotten what it was like to see things clearly. Without squinting, tilting my head to the right, and angling left.
It was even more stunning when we got in the car to leave, and hit the highway back to town. I stared down the highway, then lowered the glasses to peer over them, and said, before I could stop myself, "My gods, how on earth was I managing to drive like this???"
THO sort of grimaced and said, "Yeah, see, that's what I've been so worried about. You driving so much, and knowing how bad your vision was getting."
Only thing is, I'm used to tootlin' along with my chin up. I walk that way, sit that way, drive that way... it's my parents' fault. "Sit up straight!" "Keep your shoulders back!" "Chin up, look people square in the eye, be confident, even if you aren't!"
That's great and all, but if I have my chin up while wearing these glasses, then I'm looking through the portion that's for reading, which means everything is blurry! So... I have to drop my chin a bit. It will take some adjustments, and I might head back to the optical shop in a few days to work a few more bugs out. We will see.
It's nice to be able to see clearly again, though!
