bjarvisToday, I had my hair cut. No big deal that. Today, I also finally made a concession to the fact I'm now middle-aged: I bought reading glasses.
Here I am, trimmed & capable of reading fine print:
I had an eye exam earlier this year; since my prescription had changed somewhat, I purchased a new pair of glasses and new contact lenses. The glasses have been working very well but I have noticed that while wearing the contact lenses, I haven't been able to read small print clearly. My optometrist recommended getting 1.00 level reading glasses to supplement my contacts but I didn't think it was all that important.
This morning, while attempting to pay bills, I couldn't easily discern a 6 from an 8. Ultimately, I had to use my blackberry to take a photo of the numbers and zoom in on the image to make it large enough for me to read on the screen. The time of denial was over: reading glasses were required.
While out on errands this morning, I stopped by CVS to see what they had on hand, and selected a pair which weren't too ugly.
At least I can get reimbursement from my medical savings account.
It's Ask-Me-Anything time again this month. Go ahead... ask me anything you'd like!
