I’ve been wearing glasses for a few days, I suppose. How as that been going?<\/p>\n
Pretty well?<\/p>\n
I mean, there is no doubt that I needed these. From the moment I started wearing them, I was kind of blown away by how much clearer my vision was. I left to pick up my glasses, taking a look at comics on the door to my office. When I came back, wearing the glasses, I was shocked at how much better defined the lines were on those same comics. It’s amazing.<\/p>\n
Still, there’s a lot I need to get used to. I’ll take them off to shower, or sleep, and I’ll forget to put them back on. They’ll get smudged, and I won’t be able to really tell if they are or not, so I’ll hesitate in cleaning them or whatever, and end up feeling kind of silly. Bad habits I had about reading things out of the corner of my eye so that my eyes didn’t have to focus so much really don’t work with the glasses on. There’s a lot to get used to again.<\/p>\n
Driving home from St. Louis today, I called my mother. I didn’t hear her pick up, so I figured she must be asleep. However, she had picked up. I assumed I was wearing my bluetooth earpiece, because I felt something behind my ear, but it was just my glasses. Awkward.<\/p>\n
The thing that really gets me about my glasses, though, is that nobody really comments on them. I don’t know if I just look like I always should have had glasses, or everyone assumes I don’t have my contacts in, or what. But seriously, almost nobody has said anything about them. I mean, that’s a better reaction than them being incredibly repulsed, to be sure, but I’m not sure what to make of it.<\/p>\n
Still, I can read. That’s a benefit. I’m going to keep reading things, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
