Well, I'm officially old [View all]

Got a 3-pack of reading glasses today. Wow! I can see the tiny little text on my phone so clearly now, and read my book with just the bedside lamp on (and without holding it an arm’s-length away).

What a difference! Can’t wait to try these puppies out at the grocery store. But I still can’t wrap my head around being horribly near-sighted and now also far-sighted. Or whatever. Oh, well. It is what it is.
In closing...

Readers rock!
