A New Me

I wish it was something fun like a new hairdo or a brand new wardrobe, but no, it's just an extra set of eyes.

Asher was more intrigued by the camera strap than the camera itself.

Not sure about these glasses. It's a very weak prescription but still a lot for my eyes to get used to, so I am literally nauseous when I wear them. They eye doctor said that it could take a few days to get used to them but to wear them full time until I do and then taper off to "as needed" when my eyes are accustomed.

I thought my eyes were just "tired" and that I still had the perfect vision I've had my whole life. Well turns out that my vision is still almost perfect, but my eyes are working way too hard to make me see so well (hence the tired feeling). So unlike some people who put on their first pair of glasses and go "OH! That's what the world is supposed to look like!" I have the opposite - training my eyes to use the glasses instead of over compensating is causing my vision to be not as clear while I adjust. We'll see how this goes - given the nausea (I realize it's only day 1.25) I'm not sold.

I'm a bit self conscious. I love glasses on other people, just not necessarily me. Within 4 months, my reflection in the mirror has added a giant scar and a pair of glasses. That takes some getting used to. Jordan says I look like Liz Lemon - brunette, dark glasses, and a funny walk. Oh that husband of mine, isn't he something else?
