I finally had to do it. I had to buy a pair of reading glasses. Typing these words just now sent pains through me like finger nails on a chalkboard, dropping a full can of paint on my big toe, breaking it into 3 pieces, and being forced to listen to any song by Bread...you get the point. I can't believe it. Reading glasses. Seriously? I am getting old.
For nearly a year I've known I needed reading glasses, but I've been playing little games with myself, trying to pretend that I don't really need reading glasses. OK, maybe I can't read the dosage instructions on my new medication and I've been taking whatever dose sounds good. I haven't died yet. I haven't even been woozy or sick, so at least I'm not overtaking the stuff. All-in-all, the "pretending" hasn't gotten me into too much trouble. So, why then, you ask, did I buy reading glasses?
I'll tell you why. Because I'm a sensible person and I know I need them, and the need will probably only grow, but the most important reason is because I found some of the funkiest reading glasses I've ever seen. Yup. I found them online this past weekend, ordered them, and I got them today! They are too cool for words, and...I can see.
I'll admit defeat. Me: 0. Poor eyesight: 1. I'll admit I'm getting old(er), but I still insist on looking fabulous, and these reading glasses fill that requirement. I was actually gonna post a Bread song from YouTube, but I think I'll post that awesome song, "I Can See Clearly Now" by Mr. Johnny Nash, so everyone enjoy:
