Is it financially feasible to keep the current glasses for daytime use, and order a second pair of your old prescription just for night driving?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Yeah you may need two pairs! My vision is significantly different when my eyes are dilated (at night, or with drugs in the doctors office) and currently I only wear glasses when driving at night—when I had eye surgery they corrected for daytime vision.

One of the other mothers at drop off this morning (who now has 4 kids) said to me in a condescending manner (and not for the first time) "So now you have your whole day free". Yeah, thanks, I didn't already feel inadequate enough today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, sounds like you might want to keep the old prescription for night/driving/night driving, but use the new one for work. I have computer glasses and they are great!

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, fyi, the woman just elected Loudon County (Virginia) head of the Board of Supervisors is the one who was photographed flipping off Trump's motorcade.
Sweet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
askye, the other important thing for me was wearing supportive shoes in the house so I was never walking barefoot on hard surfaces. The best thing for me turned out to be a pair of Crocs slippers. And yeah, it takes forever to get over, unfortunately.

I guess "okay, boomer" isn't the correct response here. "Bitch, please"? "Bless your heart"?

No, she's younger than me, along with every other mother.
"Bitch, please"? "Bless your heart"?
I'm not sure I could pull off either of those. I'm not good with quick on the spot responses. I usually just go quiet and walk away.

I'm sorry you have to hear that, sj. People are terrible.
My computer glasses are literally just a weaker prescription of my distance glasses. And, yes, it is better for me to wear them all day long while staring at a screen an arm's length from my face, I notice the difference when I don't but I also cannot read the clock on the wall or street signs if I forget to change back when I leave my desk. I'm surprised you optometrist is being obtuse about that, Jess. tl:dr, it's time to have two pairs of glasses (maybe three, how is reading going?)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sj, you are the opposite of inadequate and that woman is jealous.

I guess I'll just put it down to her sleep deprivation from having infant twins. I'm sure she'd love some quiet time to herself, but I'd also like the energy and ability to have 4 kids.
