My daughter keeps laughing at me?!
Crosspasted from DW :p
I have no illusions about my looks, less so since various health issues and growing age have left their marks, but I was put off when I kept looking up to catch her with a hidden smile as she looked at me.
P has been back in the house a surprising amount of late, considering she is paying rent to share a house with two other friends (students, but at different unis), and there are a number of things she is noticing about us after a while away. I looked over my glasses at her.
'What?' I asked.
'Doesn't that thing bother you,' she replied, indicating my glasses.
'No, not at all,' was the answer.
I really need to find out somewhere to get my eyes tested properly, but my eyesight (or lack thereof) can change quite drastically and, as a result, I was able to rectify things until quite recently by using over-the-counter 'reading' glasses. It was/is supposed to be a stop gap. The thing is, each of these are marked as to magnification by a little sticker, usually on the top corner of the left lens.
As I'm blind in the left eye the sticker is not only invisible to me in wear but useful if I'm looking for a particular strength (I have several, they are cheap), so I tend to not bother removing them. I only use them around the house. Apparently, this tickles P.
I wonder what her reaction would be to seeing me with the magnifiers that stick away from my face on an arm/stem from a head set, made for close work on crafts?
PS:If anyone is looking/interested that hasn't found me already, I'm eoforyth on DreamWidth too :)
