New specs randomocity

I've got new glasses. They're very different from my old glasses, which I had for around ten years or so. These are bifocals.

It's going to be a pain over the next few days getting used to these--I've gotten into some really bad habits to compensate for my poor vision with my old glasses, like lowering my head and holding something I was trying to read up over them and close to my face to bring it into focus. Now I need to do the opposite--tilt my head back and look down at print I'm trying to read. Like normal people. That muscle memory makes it difficult.

But I can see! It's nice to be have the world in focus once again!

Another neat thing--before I took my prescription to the optometrist I had a definite idea in mind as to the frames I wanted. I always do and I have never  found what I was looking for--some times I'd find something close, but never anything that was dead-on.

Not this time, however. I found a pair that was exactly what I was looking for. I think they are awesome. What do you think?
