Can't See What I'm DOING!
So frustrating.
So as you may have read, I broke my glasses about a month ago. I got out my backup pair, but man... I can barely tolerate them. I spend most of my day without glasses, and at work I wear them to drive to work and then spend most of the day with them sitting on top of my head (also caught in my hair 90% of the time which the ones I broke really didn't do too often.) So I can't see very well with the old ones. I can't see very well without them. I can see ok to drive, and at a distance, but I can't see up close because the progressive lens has too small of a sweet spot for reading.
Now after 2 or 3 weeks trying to get in where I normally do, I decided I'd had it and went somewhere else. But my glasses won't be ready for at least another week (again... whatever happened to 1 hour or same day glasses. Ugh... SO today I was thinking, well, what if I roll up a ball of tape to where my nose pad would normally sit and just tape it on there for a few days. Hmm? No... I put those glasses on and HOLY SHITE! They are WAY too strong. I don't know how I didn't notice how strong they were. No wonder I've been feeling like I had eye strain all the time. I was REALLY concerned that the new scrip was quite a bit weaker than my current one. But I don't think I am any more. Holy COW... How did I not notice that.
So... Yah... Next Wednesday at the soonest. Writing is nearly impossible. I can't stand having my face right up in the screen all evening. I've been writing a LITTLE bit working on CTT... but it's distracting and a little disorienting not being able to see properly, so I'm generally exhausted by the end of the day and all I do is sit here on my warm blanket and waste time. I only have one scene to write, one to finish the beginning of it, and then a little tweaking and proofreading. I just can't keep my brain on it because the distortion of my left eye (astigmatism) is too much without my glasses even if I have the type set distractingly large.
So there it is. One excuse after another.
