Not quite old yet

Went to the optometrist at lunch today. Yeah, my prescription needed a bit of updating.

I'm JUST on the border of needing bifocals. If I didn't get them this time I'd probably need them next time. But since some of my medications can affect vision, I decided that I want to get all those issues squared away before I get measured for bifocals.

I think the tech was disappointed in me - I kept insisting on smaller and more boring frames. Partly because I have a teeny tiny face (I have resorted to the kids frame lines in the past) but partly because purple angular frames just don't go with variable-red hair. Or at the Renaissance Faire.

I'm just not an orange-plastic-frame kind of girl....

My dad has avoided the bifocal thing by buying a pair of clip-on cheaters at Walgreens. He clips them over his regular glasses to make the same adjustment that bifocals would.
