I'm really happy with my progressive lens though it makes me feel like I've lost a fight of some sort.

Our local Y bought a tiny gym that had an outdoor pool. The pool is unheated, which when it's this temp, is not a problem. Noah loves to go because pool but also because a former schoolmate also is there on occasion. He needs to spend more time in the water, so that's what our summer is going to be.

In other news, the fires make the mornings tough. Especially because it's right near the trail where we normally run. My crazy running team? Has run 6518.5 miles since a week ago. I've gone 60 miles. We have another 3000 miles to go before next week.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

As I've gotten older, I no longer need a reading prescription--even with them on I found myself yanking them off to read fine print or see close detail. I have bifocals, but they're my distance vision on top, and computer distance on the bottom. Perfect for driving, since I can see signage and traffic in front of me, and also read the dashboard. I wear them to watch tv, too. But for most things around the house, I just wear the single prescription computer glasses. Laptop, and anything I'm doing within arms' length--which includes cooking prep, laundry, etc., and also, shopping, as reading book spines or can labels is easier with the computer glasses, and peering at them with my chin pointed at the ceiling looks more ridiculous than juggling two pairs of glasses.

But whatever works best for you is what you should do.

How big is your team?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Am I crazy, or is there no way to see the discussion here? [link]

Click on "older comments"?

You people are reminding me that I need new prescription sunglasses.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies Steph!

ION, still haven't replaced my glasses that I lost three months ago. I should do that. The glasses I'm wearing now are not bifocals and I miss having them.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Baseball game officially flaked on. It has been so nice to putter around the house by myself with nothing pressing on my schedule. I really should feed Jack and myself though.

My boss has been having sleeping problems and is stressing over it, which makes it even more difficult. As we were chatting today, I suggested edibles to him since they are legal here. He brightened up and said he may give it a try...but if it is a gateway drug for him, he is blaming me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

> be very careful walking down stairs when I first get them

I've had bifocals for about five years now, and I still feel the need to go slow and hold on to the rail when I go down stairs.

Thrive to spite them

I need to get my eyes examined I havery to take off my glasses to read the phone or some books. Also the weird not quite Doble vision thing is getting slightly worse.

I did find a place that said they can let me keep my frames and put new lenses in. I love these glasses so unless they break I want to keep them.

Steph, there are 200 people on my team (ravenclaw) and then another 200 in each of the other three houses. We are trying to see who will log miles the fastest in an around the country route starting at Pulse and ending there. We went counter clockwise and are now in San Bernandino. It's a fundraiser for the Trevor Project.

t I had the wrong quote quoted. Of course.
