That's hysterical. I don't like the world right now, I'm going to hide my head underneath this bed right here. Unfortunately that reminds me a few people I know.

Glad that was amusing for you guys. :) We all need a chuckle from time to time.

I'm off in the rain to pick out my new glasses. I went to a new optometrist yesterday, old one is in Yorkville and that's a MAJOR shopping lure for me, so doing bank account a favour, I switched to a local gal just down the street. I liked her. She took pics of my retinas which was a tad creepy, but all is well. So here I go off in another bad hair day weather system (argh). I am permanently kinky-haired thanks to this stupid rainy stuff. Happy trees though.

I didn't know about eyesight changing during pregnancy! You learn something every day, non? I do know that eyesight changes with AGE though,lol.

I ordered my new specs, both reading and sunglasses, and got an awesome deal at less than $600 for the two. They'll be ready in 10 days. I had to be careful choosing though because I needed some that were large enough to accommodate the lenses, so no skinny little cutesy ones this time. Grrr.

Ted's off at the airport picking up his Ottawa boss and they're heading out to a warehouse west of here to check something out. After several phone calls between the two of them, he still hadn't asked which airport terminal he was to find him at, dumb guys. Then he's attending another retirement party at the Broadcast Centre, so I'm blissfully alone and car-less until about 7 tonight. This bit of him working from home with that blasted Blackberry gets a little tiresome for me. "Honey, what's for lunch?" "Hey, it's almost 4. Are you making the tea now?"

What are you guys doing today?

Moore, it would be wonderful if I could use drugstore glasses but I have been seeing optometrists and the odd opthamologist (sp?) regularly since I was a kid, diagnosed with an astigmatism. I would LOVE to not need to use the damn things, but laser surgery wouldn't work for me, so I just have to suck it up.

It really is important to see an optometrist regularly because all kinds of things can be detected early on with the new retinal photography, stuff like diabetes, retinal detachment, macular problems, etc. Prescription glasses can now be designed to cover a multitude of tasks, from threading a needle, clipping fingernails, reading online, driving... One pair for all of it with the progressive lenses. They do cost a lot more than the over the counter ones but you can see so much better!! We used to have the cost of the exams covered by health care but that was cancelled in 2004 by the idiots in Queen's Park (provincial legislative seat).
