The week, on the way out

[rolanni]

I woke up this morning, washed my face, picked up my glasses, and –

…a lens fell out.

And that’s mostly what the last couple days have been like — a series of minor, unexpected disasters — tinyastrophes — that take more time to fix than one imagines they ever could, and suck down too much energy.

This evening, we have a Thing in town, and tomorrow is Friday. Only ten more days until winter break. Yes.

Oh! The authors’ copies of  The Agent Gambit arrived today on the wings of Eddie, the FedEx guy. That would be — TAG, not Eddie — the omnibus edition included Agent of Change and Carpe Diem.

It’s a book!

Why I wear this brand of frames

[saffronrose.livejournal.com]

These are the brand of frames I use, and I think my model is the second from the left on the top row:

I have to have the thinest polycarbonate lenses thay make, because my right eye is 4+ diopters, so sitting on my glasses doesn't do anything to them. Te other part of the reason for that is the frame. I asked for the lightest weight ones the optician carried, as I get migraines and sinus headaches, where any pressure on my nose hurts like mad. I also have to have the temple pieces NOT touching my head except for the last inch at my ears--binding pressure=migraine trigger.

The nose piece is firmly attached in the lenses, so no popping out for me when I'm cleaning the lenses, which I should do more often. Only downsides--a) hard to see when you've dropped them by the bed, in my experience. Both my walking and my reading pairs have this frame b) the nicely bendy temples won't tuck in your neckline the way rigid-temple glasses will. They have a slightly different rigid plastic case.

They are not the cheapest, but if you take into consideration the medication I've not had to take...I've had these for four years now.
