Tonight, I am doing nothing but watching some tv. I had an eye doctor's appointment today - the first in 10 years! - and my eyes are still dilated, so I can't quilt, cross-stitch, compute (much) or read tonight...it is driving me a little crazy.
The good news from the eye doctor is that I show no signs of retinal detachment/degeneration which runs in my family (my dad and brother have both had surgery for it) and the doctor said I was highly unlikely to ever get it. That is really good news. On the flip side, I did get a prescription for glasses...I learned that my night vision problems that I've been having for the last few months is some farsightedness, so I will be off later this week to pick out some frames and get glasses. I will only need to wear them when doing detail work (I know, that doesn't make sense to me) like quilting, cross-stitch, reading, or computing, so that should make up most of the day!
If you have any advice on how to pick out frames, please let me know!

1. Wander around and look at everything.
2. Try on what you think you might like.
3. Accumulate a "maybe" pile
4. Sit down and try them all again, putting then in "likes most" to "likes least" order
5. Ask the optician if the frames work - having a fashionable friend (or in my case, teenage daughter) along can also help.
Oh, I just saw that this is from weeks ago and you probably already have a pair. If not, just take your time!
