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

You people are reminding me that I need new prescription sunglasses.
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.
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.
> 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.
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.
How big is your team?
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.

Oh, with the Harry Potter Running Club? Cool! I keep meaning to sign up for one of their races. (Which I *really* need to do after opening my birthday presents from Tim, one of which was a wooden plaque thingie with hooks to hold finisher's medals and bib numbers. It's awesome.) (Other gift: the Hamiltome. Awwww YEAH.)
