The "Progression" of eyesight.

So our glasses were in. Whoa. If you ever see someone walking and moving weirdly, and they wear glasses, then know this: they just got their new eyeglasses. Sympathize with them. Be patient with them. Okay, giggle a little, but help them if needed.

I've had mine for four days now. I'm nowhere nearer being used to them. Progressives are like being on a roller coaster ride without the cart to be securely tied into. The world tilts, sways, goes blurry before clear before blurry again, suddenly appears nearer or farther... Yeah, real trip. My knees gave out halfway up the stairs when I got home. Never mind trying to wear them in the mall right after putting them on for the first time. I found myself putting them up on my head and going blurry just to stop the nausea. Think I'll just sit on the floor over here and hug my knees, thanks. They told us it could take up to 2 months to get used to it. If we really can't handle them then to let them know and they'll try to think of something. At the price they were, I'm going to get used to them whether I want to or not!

I'm Canadian. Yesterday was July 1st, Canada Day. Something like the US, we have backyard BBQs, drink, go fishing or after the parade to the local fair grounds or wherever they have events. Most businesses are shut down for the day.  I spent the morning watching my eldest play back to back ball games. They lost the first, though they did get warmed up by the end of it, so they were hot by the time the second one started five minutes afterwards, and they won it, securing their place in the semi-finals.

She made a catch at home plate to get a guy out that was a beaut! Brought her whole team bench to their feet cheering her on. Did I mention I was sitting in the shade of a tree behind the opposing team's bench yelling my cheers to her? I got some weird looks, I tell ya!

After the games it was lunch time and my grandson wanted a Happy Meal. I wanted some DQ afterwards. It was hot yesterday. 

BTW, those of my new glasses. It's not so bad in the car, wearing them. It's bi-pedal movement that really screws you over. LOL Isn't my grandson a handsome little man? He was certainly enjoying that cone. 

After getting home I made a cheesecake with vanilla mousse on top and tons of fresh berried layered over it. It was good. We BBQ-ed in the rain. The food was still good despite the thunder and lightning that started. No fireworks that night due to storms, but we needed that rain. We'd had a fire ban due to the weather. Not enough rain, too many sunny heatwaves. Grass everywhere was yellow, gardens dying... But now it looks like no more rain for a few weeks again. Nice. We move to this house and plan all kinds of outdoor work and gardening and heatwaves keep up inside and no rain kills my garden before it gets anywhere. Screw you, summer!  This is why I prefer Autumn.
