Best Wedding Present Ever

[lydamorehouse]

In about an hour, I leave to go to the eye doctors. I'm... not exactly sure the last time I went to the eye doctors, because, it's expensive and, until recently, I didn't have health insurance (well, I did, but it was "collision" as I liked to call it, because the premium was so high that it would have only really helped me not be bankrupted if I got hit by a bus.)

But, I'm MARRIED now.

So, I'm off to find out how bad my eyes are. Whoot.

Last week, I went to the regular doctor and ordered all the tests I could think of and together we booked all the appointments I thought I might need. It's thrilling. I have to say, though, I feel like I could be an advertisement for "How old are you?" (Or how much does American insurance suck?) Because, seriously, no one should be this excited to be able to see a doctor.

In other news, I'm feeling kind of drained, like you do, after spending the whole day jumping around about the podcast. Thanks to you guys, we got a lot of hits for that first day. So, thanks! I think I've mentioned, but I put together a "supplemental language program" that's going to be live tomorrow, for Halloween, as is some other content--like a short story from me.... but I'll post links to all that tomorrow.

It's rainy here today and kind of cold and miserable. I feel somewhat at loose ends, and I'm not sure why. (Not enough coffee?)

what was the verdict? i had to call this morning and make a mid-year appointment with my eye doctor. i can tell my sight has degraded since i saw her in may - and that's not good. :(

The verdict is no surprise: the prescription from two years ago is outdated and it's time for new glasses.

But I'm 46, you know. It's kind of all downhill from here.

However, I'm kind of excited about looking for new frames. That could be fun (if we had more money), but still, frames are usually the cheapest part.

i agree - frames are the fun part :)
