Back to routine life…

While painting Rocky’s underside, lying on the garage floor, I crushed and scarred my glasses. Today I had to get the left lens ordered replaced, and it took an act of Congress. The Walmart computer kept going down.

But I do have a pair I can wear that is ok. I am going to wait a few months to let the eye allergies sort out from the iritis, which I think is now fixed, and I am undecided on daily wear contacts, which could work, maybe, or a new prescription for glasses, which I have to wear anyway, but I’m getting to where my distance vision, which is normally very, very sharp, is starting to go to pot, so I think I am going to have to go monofit (one long, one close) WITH reading glasses which makes everything short, or switch glasses every effin’ time I want to look either near or far—I can’t use bifocals because the astigmatism I have sort of describes a numerical corkscrew, somewhat like Bok’s equation, and they say that they can’t grind lenses that do that. Contacts are the best answer for me, but I don’t think I ought to try the extended wears again, counted that there is a link between iritis (irritation of the iris muscle) and the thyroid problem I just had quasi fixed…don’t want to aggravate that, but I do really like seeing where I’m going.

[Bok's Equation: the equation that describes the transition to light speed. I mentioned in Tripoint that Capella wears this equation tattooed on her wrist, and the poor cover artist had gone berserk searching science texts and the Red Book for that exact equation.]
