I did something I have beend reading today.
Not something that would bother many people, but it terrifies me.
But i did it.
What on earth have you don? I hear you ask. Some impossible task? Some dating feat? Some mammoth hurdle?
I went to the optician to get new glasses!!!
OK no biggie for most people but I have a horrible perscription, a phobia of eye tests and new glasses since things went wrong a few years ago and when I had my eyes tested in August I was so stressed I fainted. Goodness me, that sound pathertic even to me. But sadly it is true.
My eyesight is truly shocking and apart fromt he normal short-sightdness I have scarred corneas from a serious infection in my twenties that mean I will never see really well, no matter what the prescription. My biggest fear is going blind. For some people it's the fear of being disabled. My mother lived in dread of ever being in a wheelchair for me it is the loss of sight. So as I realise my eyes are the most precious thing I have I am just in such a state about them.
However, new glasses are ordered. It doesn't bode well that they said it would probably take a week to get used to them and not tow orry if they were not right they would re-make them. It didn't fill me with confidence but they were very kind and very helpful. And as my last pair are falling apart and I can't see well out of them, let's hope the new ones are good.
Today's page was made for a challenge at Pickleberrypop. They have amazing challenges over there - you really should check them out.
This was a challenge to use things from the designer Feli. Not much of a challenge for me as I love her work. So here is my page using one of her collections
THIS is the link to her store
Today I am thankful for
- braving my totally irrational fears
and when doing ANYTHING difficult it helps to remember ....
Oh my. Sorry to hear of your problems with getting a well-fit prescription. Our eyes are precious. Hopeful that the new glasses will be an improvement :-)
