The Forecast…

….for the next few days is cloudy with only a slight chance of blizzog.  I’ve basically been laying off the computer as much as humanly possible until I get my new prescription for my glasses.  I’m getting these awful headaches right now and I’d rather avoid it if at all possible. 

The eye doctor called me today and told me that my new lenses were in, which was awesome.   I trucked right down to their office and waited FOREVER while they put them in.  I go to try them on and I can’t see out of them at all.  Long story short, the place they ordered them from sent the completely wrong prescription.  Even worse, they destroyed my old lenses while taking them out.  They of course are not the right prescription anyway, so who cares, right?  The only problem is that flawed as they are, they are still a million times better than using the PC without them, where I basically can’t do anything for more than 10 minutes or so without problems.

So my new lenses are wrong and my old lenses are destroyed.  They ended up grinding me a temporary pair that is of my new prescription but doesn’t have the glare protection goodness that makes all the difference when using them.  It turns out that these are actually worse than my old ones, so I’m screwed for right now.  They’re going to try to get the correct lenses in by Friday but odds are I’m going to have to wait until next Tuesday.  Bad times…

Anyway, that’s why I haven’t been posting lately.  I’m going to try to work a take or two in here tonight though before I sign off.
