if my eyes are healthy, why can’t i see?

Oct 31, 2024

Yesterday, I went to an optometrist primarily because the contacts I had left (and was wearing) were past their expiration date.

The good news is, although I do have cataracts, they are a 1 on a scale of 4 and I have a good 5-10 years before I’ll need surgery, per the doc. No glaucoma and no macular blah blah blah. She said my eyes were healthy! That makes me wonder why I can’t see like I think I should be able to.

Not a pair of funky glasses to buy!

The vision center had nothing I liked. No brand names… nothing special. So I headed over to SOUTHOOD — if you want a unique pair of frames, you’ll love their stuff. I had my choices narrowed down to 3 when Ben walked in and told me I was not allowed to buy frames that looked like something a mad scientist would wear.

For the record, none of my final picks were round on one eye and square on the other, but Ben thinks that’s what I ordered. No way I want him to know he had any influence on my purchase.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

My least favorite holiday is just about a memory. For those of you that love it, sure hope you enjoyed it.


Now you know: In 1986, Ronald McIntosh was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for escaping prison, stealing a helicopter, and landing it at another prison’s exercise yard to pick up his convict girlfriend Samantha Lopez. They were caught 10 days later by the FBI.
