New Peepers

So I (Karen) have "recently"(a.k.a some time in the last three years) acquired a nearsightedness.  It hasn't been that big of a deal except that,  in the last 6 months or so, while at work, I have found myself getting rather seasick as I try to focus on my paperwork on the desk and then switch to looking at the monitors above the heads of my patient's beds, about 15-20 feet in front of me. Soooo  blurry..... It's not such a great thing to be motion sick during a "code blue."  That is what inspired me to go have my eyes re-checked. 

It turns out, I have probably needed glasses for a while.  But Man!  the world is so crisp and clear and beautiful.  I had no idea!  I was looking at the trees on the ride home from the eye doctor's and man!  I wonder how long I had been living in a blurry world and not realised how clear things could have been for me! Even watching TV is better.  The girl at the store helped me to find the frames, as I had no idea what I should be wearing.  They might be a bit "granny-ish" but quite frankly, I don't care. Apparently I have really crooked ears and a very small head. The kids glasses actually fit me best, but I didn't really want to wear "Barbie" glasses. Sadly, they didn't have any kids size glasses that weren't hot pink or didn't have "Transformer/Go-bot" pictures on them, so.... I had to buy a more mature pair, as the cool ones were waaayyyy to wide for my head. (thank goodness, grannies have shrunken heads or I would have had to special order my pair. Here is a pic.
