Question…

How often are you supposed to get your eyes checked? For as long as I can remember I always wanted to wear eyeglasses just like my Dad. Over the years my brother and mother ended up having to get glasses to. How true is it, that if you eat all your carrots on your plate that your eyes will grow stronger? I was always a naive kid, and still am – you can pull the wool over my eyes so fast and I’m like “Where’d you go?”.

I have always loved carrots, and wanted more and more on my plate. I don’t remember if my Brother or Mother always had additional carrots added to theirs. Maybe that’s why I have great vision? I don’t know where it came from. Certainly not genetics, because my parents have glasses. Right?

I don’t remember the last time I went to an eye doctor. I have a better range of sight than the 20/20 vision’ers (is that a word?). Apparently I can see 15/20, or maybe it’s 20/15. I don’t quite remember. But I do recall being disappointed that I didn’t get to scope out some new frames for my bad self.

Nobody should wish bad eyes on themselves, as I know glasses can get pretty pricey. But I came across a site called Zenni — check out more in this article as there is a review there, too. But that article was talking about how you can get quality eyeglasses for a LOW cost. I mean, there aren’t any middlemen, no retail overhead and they barely have an advertising budget – it’s all word of mouth. I know Cinda (a girl I know online, actually) who bought her frames from Zenni and they didn’t cost her a lot out of pocket.

Something to consider?

How am I doing?

Day 2 of sinus flu/infection/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.

TMI Below:

  • My nose is runny, but I can’t blow it because it’s stuffed up.
  • My taste buds are missing.
  • My eyeballs don’t have headaches anymore due to all the wonderful decongestants!
  • I finally had a shower today.
  • I made some spiral kraft dinner, and milk that didn’t taste like much.

Barricade that up!

It’s funny how you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. For instance, taste buds. I can eat liver right now and think it’s some delicious chicken. The good part about having this sinus flu is not being able to smell when Alfie goes potty… #2, It’s like having a velvet rope outside of a bar to have crowd control and not being able to see inside. Bitter sweet, you know?  Knowing you’re going to get into that bar, but not knowing what’s inside.

I remember when we went to the U2 concert in Toronto just in the fall, there were stanchions and retractable belts which kept people in line. Until they leaned against the retractable belt and it whipped back into it’s pole. Have you ever done that? When I use to bank with large corporations, they had those barricades up so people could wait in line single file. I was always the one who broke that barrier. So embarrassing, since I’m like a little child in public and can’t stand still until I am served.

They should really put those stanchions up everywhere, so people aren’t all up in your business. Why do people feel the need to be so close to someone that they can touch your hair with their nose? It’s gross, right? I always turn around and I think I give them a glare, but I really don’t know if I do or not. They’re in my personal space!

Maybe it’s all the sinus pills talking, but I certainly know where I’m coming from.
