glasses

I have new glasses. It’s been 1 day but I hate them. The frames are cute and I like the way they look. But this is my first attempt at progressive lenses – or any type of bi-focal glasses. I have the typical far-sightedness that comes with age. I have also been experiencing some near-sightedness. Up to now I have been wearing cheaters for reading and just sitting a little closer for meetings. But I’m over the constant putting on/taking off the cheaters. So I thought progressive lenses would be the way to go. So did my optometrist. Well, 1 day in and I’m having a hard time with them. I feel like the field of vision is so small.  Like there is this tiny sweet spot. And I sometimes feel like I’m drunk when I’m walking.  Fortunately I have up to 30 days to get them right free of charge.~~~Was feeling a little bit of the after lunch sleepiness starting so I got my afternoon cuppa. Feeling a little on the edge this week. Some manic days and some down days. I know part of it is hormonal and weather related. I think I’m tired as well. I have been running pretty consistently. I ran Sat and Sun and this week I’ve gone out Mon, Tues, today.  Wed is supposed to be yoga for D and I but it was so nice outside that I couldn’t bring myself to go to the yoga studio. And D had a lot of homework. S was trying every angle to play fortnite. I made him go outside. Unfortunately the neighbor boy who I don’t care for is hanging out with him again. I have no problem with them playing basketball in the driveway but I do not want that child in my house. And S is not to go in his. I do feel sorry for him in many ways. But I have to protect my own child.  After the boy posse broke up and they went their separate ways for the evening I made the kids dinner. While I was cooking I had them rake and pick up the yard a bit. You would think I had asked them to paint the house! I get so tired of their push-back. But I know it goes with the tween/teen territory. I usually gently remind them that we are a family and we all have to pitch in to make the household work. There are times that I forget about the gentle part and just lose my shit on them. I was somewhere in between last night.~~~H was out on a 7 mile training run. His back is bothering him a bit. He swims today so hopefully that will help his back. Five weeks from Sunday is his triathlon. Go-baby-go!
