Eyes, Plants, and Proposals
My appointment with my new eye doctor was Thursday. The news was kind of frustrating. Apparently my prescription has changed only marginally, but I should have been wearing my glasses all day instead of only for long-distance seeing, like driving or looking at white boards in class, which is what a different doctor told me two years ago. He was a complete moron, it seems. How aggravating.
Speaking of glasses, I need to remind my mother to call our insurance people and make sure they cover both glasses and contacts. She's convinced that there is no reason they wouldn't cover both, but the people at the doctor's office told me I could only get one or the other this year. I'm not making an appointment for contact fittings until I know I can get a different pair of glasses, because I've loathed this pair since the day I got them. If I have to go without contacts to get glasses that don't look completely ridiculous, I definitely will. Besides, I'm too lazy to wear contacts every day.
My mom and I drove to a very cool nursery over in Maple Valley today and bought a bunch of drought-tolerant plants to cover up our sandy hillside. Tomorrow is planting day, and I'm actually kind of excited. Everything we got is beautiful!
My brother proposed to his girlfriend today. Yeesh, what is it with my family and getting married quickly? The earliest I can imagine getting engaged would be around graduation in three years. Slow it down, people! He has his reasons, though, and, granted, my siblings are at completely different stages of their lives than I am right now. Anyway, they are going to get married within the month in Missouri, where her family lives, and have a big reception here for all of his friends. In other words, we've got a LOT of planning to do.
Oh, Missouri. How odd it will be to see you! I suppose I'm looking forward to it.
