apparently, thin lenses are too good for me

Following the visit to the dentist yesterday, we stopped by the optomotrist to find out why the new glasses are so weird... basically, they work great indoors, but not so good for driving (sunglasses are good, just the regular ones are being weird)

Well, it turns out, the thinner the glasses, the more chance of distortion -- add to that a messed up astigmatism like mine and my wacky eyeballs (I cut my right eye twice and my left eye once by the time I was six... terrible depth perception in those days), and thinner lenses aren't always better. So, this makes sense as to how my 'cheaper' thicker lenses worked way better than the more expensive back-up pair I had with the previous prescription.

Which means hitting the optical place tomorrow and hoping they still have their 2/$99 thing going on. Unless I'm lazy, in which case I won't get up there until next weekend...

But now... cookies. Because having Midwest Express cookies up in the air is good, but having them in bed is better. Cookie time...

i can haz sight againz

woman at the place where i actually have my glasses made didn't believe the story that the material type has something to do with me seeing or not seeing

totally tried to sell me on the thin frames -- you know, the ones i was explaining don't work

she couldn't believe that it was possible that it was the material type -- first she tells me that the doctor was probably set in his ways (didn't tell her it was his 20-something assistant who brought up the issue in the first place), then tells me in all her 20 years she's never seen someone with this trouble

so... who's set in their ways again?

finally flat out said, look, insurance pays for them, whether i buy cheap or expensive -- why would i buy the cheap ones if i could get the expensive ones for, essentially, the same price?

so anyhow, now i can see again when i'm driving -- it was a little hit and miss over the past month, but as soon as i put on the ones they made today, it was awesome+5

whatever that means

so now i need to stop wasting time and find an ending for this fic, then track down the live-in beta reader, promise him it's not hardcore slash, and send it on its merry way
