Feeling Old

I am getting to the point in life where I am starting to feel my age. I have always had a "baby face", so in the past, I had been mistaken for being much younger than I really am. That doesn't happen so much anymore. Now when I am out having a drink, 9 out of 10 times I don't get carded. The other day, Jie Jie guessed my age at around 34. Yikes!

Thursday morning was my eye doctor appointment. My eyes have really been bothering me so I have been looking forward to going and getting some answers. I have glasses now that I rarely wear, so I guessed that maybe I would get a slightly stronger perscription and be told to wear them more often. Nope. Of course not. I am 30 now and years of staring at computers and repairing intricate things have taken their toll.

The doctor offered me two choices. The first one was that I would have to be dilligent about getting up from what I am doing every half hour and go stare at something far away for ten minutes to relieve my eyes. Right... That is as likely to happen as me voting for Hillary Clinton in the next presidential election. (BTW, THAT WOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN! /Shudder)

Choice Two.......... Bifocals. Yup. You know I am gettin em. That is the plan for tomorrow morning. I am going to Lenscrafters tomorrow and picking out my new glasses. I hope they have a nice selection in fat head sizes. I am thinking something in a Drew Carey style. The thick black frames will do nicely I think. I will post some pictures toomorrow night to amaze all of you who read this.

I know I promised another paper in my last post, and I intend on keeping that promise. I just cant do it tonight. It is 23:00 right now and I am starting to feel sleepy. I fell asleep for awhile tonight with baby boy and that gave me a little boost, but not enough to do that post justice.

I am off to read Annie Dillard and get some rest. Godspeed.

Funny, Papa had the same reaction when Bob Baines mentioned going to a Hilary fundraiser! Is she really THAT bad? :-)
