Last summer I got my eyes checked for the first time since the plague. They gave me a new glasses prescription and a new set of contacts. The contacts need to be readjusted and I've had no bandwidth for dealing with things that aren't Urgent so I've just been wearing my old (2018) glasses instead. I've been vaguely planning to go in and get the contacts redone and pick up a new pair of glasses while I'm at it.

Today at lunch, working from work, I was cleaning my glasses and they snapped literally in half.

I tried fixing them with scotch tape, which ... sort of worked, for a little while. But clearly I was done with work for the day. So I went and got new glasses.

Bad news: they do "picking out new glasses" by appointment. I got to hang around Mount Pleasant with no eyes for two hours.

Good news: the appointment involved talking to a guy who actually had a sense of what frames would look less bad on my face.

Expected bad news: I am blind enough that lenses have to be special-ordered and it'll be at least a week and probably more like two before they get here.

In the meantime I am wearing my previous pair of glasses, which are at least seven years old. It's no great surprise that distant things look kind of fuzzy, or that I have something of a headache.

I have no idea whether I'm going to be able to do a full day of work at this point. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

Bah.
