So I went to the eye doctor today and I need new glasses, which I knew and I can't use the frames I have because they are bent which is one of the reasons I have not been seeing well for a year and a half now. The whole story of how I got those glasses is one of my favorite posts and if you want to read it, click here.
I think it's a rather amusing story.
Anyway, it's annoying that I need new frames and I think I hate the ones I got but they'd already dilated my eyes when I was picking them out and the choices were limited to say the least. La-di-dah. I don't have to look at them. You do. Well, you being used metaphorically if you've never met met me and live in Kentucky or Iowa or somewhere but I'm sure there will be a picture and you'll say, "Yep, she doesn't look so good in those. Why did she choose them?"
Let me remind you: my eyes were dilated, I was blind, the choice was limited and the choice of frames within my budget were even more so. I'm lucky they come with those things that fit over your ears.
Anyway, again I say la-di-dah because I like saying that.
I also went to the dentist and need a filling to prevent a tooth from cracking in half and darn it! I did not expect that either.
Well. Life goes on.
Mostly. Until it doesn't.
I was going to write a post about my yoga teacher and I have done that before but I am deathly afraid she'll find this and read it so I'll just say that only I could find a yoga teacher like this one. I do love her. But my goodness! Does her husband HAVE to have speakerphone meetings for his job with Microsoft while class is going on IN THE NEXT ROOM?
Yes. Yes he does.
And there's more but really, enough of that. I am doing yoga and that is what matters.
Glasses, phone calls, fillings. Annoyances that mean very little in the scheme of things.
I'm going to go cook a corned beef. My eyes are slowly getting back to normal and I think I will be safe around knives. I was not save driving a two thousand pound vehicle while I was blinded and neither were you if you were anywhere near me on the highway but I made it home without incident. I think. I was so blind I probably wouldn't have noticed if I'd hit anything although I was not deafened (any more than usual) and I didn't hear any loud thumps, so I think we're safe. It was like being on drugs without the happy side effects. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about here.
I think my new glasses may even be purple. Good Lord. Is that possible?
I hope not.
Maybe they accidentally dilated my brain.
We shall see in five working days.
maybe someday those sci-fi movies will come true and we will leave our material bodies behind in favor of spiritual beings with no need of glasses or fillings...
ReplyDeleteSteph- Funny. I have been thinking about that very subject. In fact, every night while I fall asleep I am creating this Beowolf-length poem about it.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it will ever see the light of day.
I'm sure you glasses aren't as bad as you think. And they certainly can't be as ugly as my first glasses were. My mother and the eye doctor (for some unknown and cruel reason) persuaded me to get the "Transistions" lenses. Yeah, sixth grade was a fun year.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see your new glasses. And don't worry, I'll tell you what I really think about them. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you have to get a filling. Isn't it shocking to here a dentist tell you that. I still have five cavities that I need to get filled. Ugh. I'm just trying not to think about it.
I'm so happy I live in a state where I can get my eyes examined by an optomtrist. They're not allowed to dilate your eyes. Anyway, I wear contacts - actually just one, for the monovision thing, in which my eyes confuse my brain (not all that hard to do) into using 1 eye for distance and the other for reading. I hated it when I lived in PA and they dilated my eyes all the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the glasses will be nice.
I totally hope they are purple, that would be awesome! I think you would look nice is purple, or maybe pink, glasses. Sorry about your tooth, mine need help too. Anyway...I love you and will talk to you soon.
ReplyDeleteOk Ms Moon, how can you possibly put up a post like that with NO picture of the glasses!! No fair! (I don't believe the ones on the chiwaua (msp?)are yours...) although they are quite amusing.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I saw Ms. Lilly today. She is gorgeous. I told her so, and she said she thinks everyone is "just saying that". I assured her "they"/"we" are not, and she is! She said to say hello to you, even though I"m sure she's probably spoken to you already. So HI from Lilly!
Will send email soon.

That's funny, I didn't even see Lilly's response right above mine because I just got home and am still catching up. Funny!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do live in Kentucky, and I promise not to ever make fun of your new glasses, should there be a picture :)
ReplyDeleteLady Lemon- And sixth grade was so fun anyway, right?
ReplyDeleteHoneyLuna- I know! We HAVE to take care of that.
MOB- I just think that would make me insane! Okay. I already am. Insaner. And the eye dilation thing is so annoying but they really can see a lot better when it's done.
Lily- It was so good to see you today. Petit Fleur is right- you are GORGEOUS!
Petit Fleur- I don't have the glasses yet. This is not the Hour Glass. It's the Five Working Days Glass. Haha!
SJ- You can make fun of me. I won't mind.
