I can see clearly now…
A historic first! I’ve never worn glasses in my life. My eyesight is still quite good. But as time and years of working with words on screens and pages would have it, my eyes don’t focus quite as well as they once did, and I sometimes have to strain a little too much for comfort to see clearly. (Hey mom, how about a lesson in some of those Bates Method exercises you used to teach?) That, and Antigua is known for having excellent eye doctors who’ll sell you designer glasses for about a third of what you’d pay in the US. These frames are from Spain and ran me about $130, lenses and all.
So I decided it was time.
I’m still not used to wearing them. (I’m not wearing them right now, frgzmpl.) They definitely work, making everything a little clearer. But it feels a bit like snorkeling.
Well, what do you think? Do they suit me?

This is the first time I’m seeing your face and I think they look adorable. Nice!!

you’re much better off
–in the short run and the long run–
to swallow the 130-dollar experiment
and give them up
your face and your eyes will thank you
not to mention others interacting with you
especially since you know about bates
and your mom used to teach it
it took me a long time to give up mine completely
so i’m speaking from personal experience
adjust your life
and give up the crutch
…or delete this
if it’s not what you want to hear
good luck

You look great in glasses.
Do you wear them in the meantime? You really should.

too bad, another one bites the dust. Why didn’t you get your mom to teach you the bates method?
