Grab a chair and a couple of root beers...

First off, failuresofine, your package arrived, and it FITS!!!

Who knew our wrists were the same size??

I'm wearing it right now, and it looks so cool!!!

YAY!!!

In other news, I've finally made an appointment to see an eye doctor next Monday. (I can hear Char's snort of disgust and her shout of, "It's about TIME!!" all the way over here, and it's makin' my ears ring, dontcha know!)

I had one of those moments of epiphany Sunday. My vision has been getting progressively blurrier, and blurrier, and it wasn't that I didn't want to go, it was just... something always came up, and I would have to take care of that something first. So, I need reading glasses to read a book. Okay, I bought reading glasses. However, now I can't read street signs until I'm practically on top of them, and depend on recognizing the shape of words when I tried to read them.

Well, the final blow came at the grocery store yesterday. I've had headaches for a couple of weeks now that I just can't shake, and thought maybe it was sleep deprivation (we're having issues with kids sleeping in their own beds right now), but... no.

We had gone to the grocery store, and my headache just kept getting worse, and worse, and I was struggling to read labels, having to dig out my reading glasses, and then struggling to read the signs on the aisles. Well, the "a-ha!" moment came when I was standing at the end of one aisle, looking at a refrigerated section directly across, thinking, "Is the sliced cheese here or further down?" and I was squinting, trying to force my eyes to focus... and it just wasn't happening. Then I turned to say something to the Husbandly One, who I thought was right behind me, but... he wasn't there. So I looked farther down the aisle, and saw three blobs in the middle of the aisle.

I could not make out anything beyond three people shaped blobs, and the colors they were wearing, and I realized it was THO, the Impossible Son, and the Impertinent Daughter, and I recognized them solely because of the color of clothing they were wearing.

Time to go to the eye doctor.

And that's when I realized why I've had such a nasty headache. Because I'm constantly trying to focus... and I can't!! So, yeah, going to the eye doctor, and I have a feeling I'm probably going right past regular glasses and straight toward bifocals.

*sigh*

That makes me feel OLD!!!
