Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

[Dave]

No need for that yet. Ask me Wednesday and I might answer differently! Right now it’s just whining.

Absolutely speak up if you need help.

My teen brought covid home from college on Halloween and gave it to my husband. I thought i was in the clear but got it a week later. 5 days in and I hate everything, but mostly how fucking awful I feel waking up in the morning.

Futzing around after dinner and I notice a wet/oily spot on the back of my hand. Whatever, I'm not fussy, I'll just lick it off... and that's when I realize that what is on my hand is apparently a smear of hand soap.

Man, that taste really lingers.

Just what kind of off-brand margarita mix are you drinking?

Fucking hell. Woke up in the middle of the night and I haven't been able to back to sleep.

Just had my first eye exam today.
Going to be wearing glasses soon.

Sorry, dude. I had an eye exam recently, too. First one since I was 12 years old. They only confirmed what I already knew: I'd need reading glasses going forward.

I also learned my funny tick of crying when it's cold is actually not so funny. It's a sign of dry eyes and my tear ducts overcompensating. So I have a prescription for eye drops now.

Getting old sucks.

I have myopia, especially in my right eye.
Edit: And reading my prescription, the reason my right eye is worse is because it also has astigmatism. yay.

If it makes you feel better, I've been dealing with a similar condition. But my problem is that my tear ducts have collapsed. Yes, there is a surgery for it, but I dunno if the side effects make it worth it.

 

[GasBandit]

I, too, can already feel the lasik slipping away, and I have to hold things at a slight distance to focus on them. Reading glasses soon.

 

[Dave]

Reading glasses? AMATEUR! I have three pairs. A normal pair for driving & stuff - bifocals - a pair for just being at the computer, and a pair that I use when I work since they have to be safety rated.

Reading glasses. Pfft.

I know having glasses for the first time sucks, but you are by no means alone, @Cheesy1 . I would say, in fact, that I know more people who have glasses than don't. Plus it's just part of getting older.

 

[Adam]

Two years ago they were called "anti fatigue lenses", now it's officially progressive bifocals

I am there with you. I have astigmatism and need bifocals. Driving at night sucks.

 

[Bubble181]

Had lasik in one eye, wear a lens in the other one; I currently wear lenses that are slightly stronger than my actual prescription to help counter the astigmatism but it's not keeping up. Next eye doctor appointment in January and I expect I'll be either wearing 2 lenses or glasses again. *sigh*
