I have glasses now. After years of being the only person in my family who didn't. It's weird. I keep putting my hand up to my face, wondering why it's got scaffolding on now. And I keep lifting them up, to see the world the way I used to see it, and then the world the way I'm supposed to see it now, and marvelling at the difference. Turns out? For the past five years, I've been below the legal limit for a drivers license. Well. I might scrape by on my left eye, but my right's been buggered for years. And it never bothered me. Obviously I'm either a little oblivious, or I just got so used to not seeing the little details that it stopped occuring to me that they were there.

I'm sitting here right now, lifting my glasses up to watch the world go slightly blurry round the edges, and lowering them again to see everything become sharp and clear and slightly bendy. *grins like an idiot* It's weird. But kinda cool.

*Hugs you damned tight*

Oh, honey, I am so glad to hear from you.

And yay, vision!

It's an amazing thing, isn't it?

*clings* Hey there!

Heh. It's ... amazing is a good word. I think it's the contrast, though, that has me all 'wow'. I can read the time off the church clock across the valley now! How weird is that?

*pets*

Oh, that's awesome. *grins*

Oh, I know, I am so much more than legally blind without my contacts/glasses that it's not even funny.

And I think at the moment I need a new 'scrip for my good eye.

Made my mom cry, you know.
Was 8 when I got mine.

"This is what you look like?" was the first thing I said to her.

Eyesight's tricky...can't tell it's bad if it's a steady digression...or it's all you've ever known.
