Lucy in Disguise With Glasses!

You are going to have to be 900 years old like me to remember that song. If I recall correctly, I think it came out the same year that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds came out for the Beatles. I am going to embarrass myself right now by not bothering to remember what album LSD was on. I hope you see the correlation to dropping acid and the title of that Beatles' song. It was purposeful on John Lennon's part, trust me.

At any rate, my post however has nothing to do with John Lennon, nor hallucinogenic drugs. It however has everything to do with the need for eyeglasses in this household. My glasses are in serious need of the prescription being upped as my old eyes get even worse. Sue's glasses, if I recall correctly, were thrown on the pyre that issued forth as a result of a massive clean up at our old property when we were about to put up a new house.  This would have been in July of 98, so Sue has been glassless for sometime now.

What brought this whole thought process on is that I purchase several used books online from Amazon.com and the one I was most anxiously awaiting, turns out to have the tiniest print known to man as the font size. That sucks because I am having a hell of a time getting into it. The problem is, I cannot read it fast enough because I can't see the fucking words. It's sort of technical, so I really can't just miss a word or two here and there or by the time I get to the end of a paragraph, nothing makes any sense. I then end up having to reread the damn thing just to figure out what is really being said. It sucks, trust me.

So I got this new optical insurance thing a few months ago and I am trying to find out what doctors honor that insurance around here. I want to get Sue in as soon as I can and get her some new glasses. It might seem like a surprise to some of you, but Sue is a voracious reader and probably reads 3 books to my one. It might not appear that way to the casual observer as I usually have 5 or 6 books going at once. The truth is, I do have 5 or 6 books going at once and I seldom finish them. Sue on the other hand picks up a book, starts it and has it done within a day or two. It might be 6 months to never before I finish a book. Ok, I get bored easily and am off to the next thing before I finish the last one. It takes a fabulous author a fascinating subject or both to get me to finish a book in a sitting or two.

But I digress. Even more importantly though, I want to get Kaitlyn in for an eye exam before school starts. I don't want her to get left behind just because she cannot see the letters or numbers (even though it's only kindergarten).

So now I am going to go back to attempting to read this damn book with the microscopic font size. Wish me luck, I know I am going to need it....

Angels are on their way.....
