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.

Aww, we would love to see pictures of you & the new glasses!

Also, you're right. The new prescription thing is such a rush, I always feel a bit disappointed when it wears off (though I know scientifically it has to).
