My new glasses came in last night. I actually got glass lenses, because I prefer them by leaps and bounds over plastic lenses, but man, I’m surprised at how much more they weigh. My prescription’s really not that bad, but the difference is noticable and I’ve got a sort of pressure headache around my nose. I’m pretty sure I didn’t go through every day with a headache in the days before plastic lenses, so I’m going to try to hold out for a week or two and see if I adapt again. But I’m sure finding myself pushing them up a whole lot more, and futzing with them more in general. Phooey.
No gaming last night. Pat and Melissa came over, but Jack was on, uh, TDY and was supposed to get in at 8pm and come rushing to gaming, but didn’t make it, and Christopher had other stuff to do, so we just hung out for a couple of hours and talked, which was very nice. :) Melissa made a very, very good chocolate raspberry torte. V. yummy.
Actually, Jai came over last night too. :) All the socialization! She called around 3:30 and I told her she should go for a walk when she got off work ’cause it was gorgeous out, and so she ended up coming over and we went for a walk together and talked and generally had a very good time, too. *laugh* We were going along one stretch of road and a car came up behind us and I hissed, “There’s a car coming. Don’t act suspicious!” and it went by and Jai put her finger against her ear like she had a secret service wire there and said in a low voice, “The target has moved by and is in sight,” or words to that effect, which made me laugh and laugh and laugh. It was *very* funny. *laugh* *beam* So it was really a very nice evening altogether. :)
I had to get up because my back was achy, but I really don’t feel like writing right now. In order to avoid it, I’ve put more laundry in and folded what was to be folded, and I’m writing this entry, but I donno what I’m going to do next. Trying to read at this stage usually makes me stand in front of the TBR shelves for a while (sometimes a long while) and finally sigh and go work on my book. My hair’s still too wet to go out walking, and so I donno what to do. Hnf.
I got on the scale this morning and was up 4 pounds, which I suspect was not really all that accurate, but it certainly has inspired me to go cold turkey on sweets again. (I haven’t been doing that badly, really, but there was a Fudge Incident earlier in the week.) So I’m declaring a new Lent for myself, nevermind that Easter is in 8 days, and going off sweets wholesale until the end of April. So Mote It Be.
Actually, I really need to watch my bread intake, too. I’ve been eating a lot of soups and oatmeal and have been going nuts over bread, I think because it has a lot of body, which soups and oatmeal don’t.
I know, I know. What a rough life.
