On new glasses

[sincere]

When you are blind like me and first get a new pair of glasses -- or lenses in your glasses -- there is a brief, twenty-minute period of utmost clarity and wonder at how sharp and refined the world can be. You can see every individual petal on every flower in a bush. You can see with such distinction that you forget how fuzzy around the edges everything is the rest of the time.

It's a kind of dorky rush.

My new glasses are the most librarianly things I own, but they look awesome.

It's very disorienting at first, so I understand your feelings on the matter. My eyes have pretty much stabilized too, but I'd had my lame boring glasses for years and I finally have a Real Job with vision coverage, and since they'd cover new frames and new lenses, I figured, what the hey, it's only a tiny upgrade but shiny new toys for minimal money!

I should take pictures. When I'm being less of a hen. If any of them turn out not scary. :(
