Getting Old

Andrew surprised me and came home around 6:00pm last night. He said he was all partied out from the night before. He is looking forward to getting the beamer back. Recently I had my yearly eye appointment and now I am wearing bi-focal contact lenses. I didn't know such things existed but they are working great. Previously I had always backed off on the strength to see long distance clearly so I would be able to still see close up (which is critical for all the reading and computer work I do each day). So it is really great to now be able to see crystal clear long distance and also close up. I also finally got myself a new pair of regular glasses (not bi-focal, just regular). My last pair were from about 16 years ago and were too weak. Strange though - I can read and see long distance with the glasses, so I don't know why I need bi-focal contacts yet can have regular glasses. Anyways, now I can wear these on the long flight over to Italy so I won't have to sleep in my contacts which I hate doing.
