When we picked up SS at school yesterday she did not notice that I was wearing different glasses. I had been using a lot of different cheap reading glasses, so it makes sense that it was not a big deal. SS was also so excited running to her Baba that she did not notice me, let alone my glasses. When I came into her room after her nap, although she was not fully awake, she noticed my glasses right away. She gave me a not so nice look and said "Baba's glasses." Uh, no sweetie these are mine. SS was skeptical until I moved my hair back and pointed to the blue temples (our styles are similar, but P's are black). I asked SS if she liked them, a very dumb move on my part, given the less than pleased look she was giving me. SS answered "I like Baba's glasses." Never ask a child a question unless you are prepared for brutal honesty.
The progressive bifocal choice was a good one, the only problem is when I am in bed reading then look up at the TV. Getting use to wear glasses all the time is proving to be very difficult. I am not used to wearing anything full time (other than clothes). I hardly ever wear jewelery, it took a while before I got used to my wedding ring. While I now feel naked leaving the house without it, once home it is the first thing I remove along with my watch. It used to drive P nuts when I would leave for work without my engagement ring. I right now have two very good prescription glasses MIA, because I took them off G0d knows where. P listened to my reasoning then kindly told me that it sucks to be me. No sympathy whatsoever. Gee, I said I wear my wedding ring whenever I'm in public, and it is not like anyone would care. P is just a different animal, he never takes off his wedding ring or his watch, and has been wearing glasses full time for a long time. Contacts are not an option because I can't imagine sticking anything in my eyes daily. I do not like anything near my eyes, let alone in them. Yeah, it sucks to be me.
