Short sighted.

May 10th, 2008 by APK

So tonight my glasses broke. Right in the center, which is a very spindly little bar of metal. Solder didn’t work and tape wouldn’t hold because there simply wasn’t enough to hold.

Now one of my eyes is near-sighted and one far-sighted. So without my glasses I can see pretty damn well. Except. Depth perception is pretty shot as my eyes work overtime to compensate. Also I get splitting headaches after a few hours.

Did I mention I can’t read text, either?

So until I get new glasses: No reading, no writing. ‘Rithmatic might still be doable. Also, of course, my sunglasses were add-ons to my glasses that cost a fair amount. So as we lead into summer I lose those, too. Still and all - not the worst thing in the world. All manageable. Just kinda sucky.

Anyway! Tomorrow my first thing is to go out and get new glasses.
