Oh say can you see?

I can see now, because I got glasses for the first time! They're mostly for distance vision (like driving). Now I can see the street signs *before* I come right on top of them, which is tremendously helpful for driving in places I'm not familiar with. I think a lot of my dislike of driving in new places may have stemmed from this difficulty in navigating.

Things are more detailed and dimensional now. I found myself transfixed by how textured the pavement was. It really did throw me for a while though, because everything looked wrong. There was just too much detail to absorb and things were popping out in my face. It made me very tired. But I'm getting used to it.

I did spend my first five minutes or so just putting on and taking off my glasses and saying, "Clark Kent...Superman! Clark Kent...Superman!" (I've been rewatching Lois and Clark, which is fun.) And then I pretended I had superpower vision.

I suppose I should update my photo at some point.
