Out of commissio for the day

My labrador managed to break my glasses a while back. I have managed with Duck Tape and of those plastic wire shrink tube things. After having to fish my glasse out of the mop bucket, the mud, and other disgusting orifaces, today I opte to have my eyes examined. I cannot believe the vivid colors One misses until their eyes are dialated. The blues are so much bluer. I just can't handle "WHITE". I am going to have to watch my glasses for a little while as they do not want to remain on my face. In the mean time I need to teach Buddy, one of our three labs, that my glasses are NOT his toy. He used them as a chew toy once and I thought we swollowed the right lense, but this lost time I think he must of thought they were a frisbe. The lab tech spent nearly a half hour bending and straightening. The straightening of what was not broken, any way. So for now I am walking around in the house wearing sun glasses, and the sun is not even shinning outside. It is really weird!

Glasses are a pain, aren't they? I look forward to the day when I can pony up the cash for laser eye surgery. Then I'll throw my glasses out for good.

From what I have heard that laser surgery is not as successful as they lead you to believe. My mother-in-law and ex dentist are only two examples. They are now both "Legally blind".

I wore glasses for 26 years and finally plucked up the courage to have them fixed with laser surgery about four years ago. For me it was a complete success. I now wear only safety glasses at work. Interestingly, I was so used to wearing spectacles I would often drive home from work with my safety glasses on, wondering why I was getting funny looks from other drivers.

My issue with my glasses has alway been WHERE TO LOOK FOR THEM. My sons have always gotten a laugh out of their mom searching especially when I discover that they are resting on top of my head. HAHAHA! My new glasses do not fall off or use my nose for a sky slope. I am still chuckling at Buddy, my 109 chicken since the effects of the hurricane winds last year. He was a puppy then and we spent 2 1/2 hours looking for him after our neighbor's shed crossed the road landing in our yard. We found him trembling under a coffee table in the livingroom. I do not know how he gets into the cramped space, but he manages. Everythime the wind blows, that's where you can find Buddy, taking shelter.
