thin pieces of plastic make me feel vulnerable
so…yesterday I had an appointment at the eye doctor. I’ve needed glasses since I was in 3rd grade, and I’ve worn contacts for the last 12 years.
I hate glasses! Unfortunately, I don’t take care of my eyes while wearing my contacts: I wear them forever, and sleep with them in. This has lead me to needing to wear glasses again!
As of yesterday afternoon at 4, I’ve been contacts-free, or as I like to think about it: a walking target. (ok, no deep-seeded psychological issues here. nope. none.) I just don’t like glasses. It’s raining here, which is making it very hard to ignore my glasses — I never worried about the rain with my contacts. Yesterday I almost threw up because my eyes aren’t used to looking through lens that aren’t right on my eye — today is better, though.
I don’t know. It’s just this weird feeling that I have, like I have to relearn how to do everything with glasses.

try learning to do with bifocals.
i’ve had glasses since i was ten, and when i was fiften, my contact dreams disappeared when i had to get bifocals. i’ve only recently gotten some long distance contacts to wear when i know i’m going somewhere that might involve picture taking.
