A bit of a boring post today I'm afraid. For a start, there's no photo as my computer downstairs is still refusing to acknowledge the broadband connection exisits so I'm having to use P's computer in his study, for which my camera is not yet set up.
P has been working from home today and has now had to take to his bed because of a very bad headache - which means I have to a) be very quiet whilst using his computer and b) I've been unable to add anything on ebay this afternoon as he needed to use the phone and my computer (where the photos for ebay are stored) needs to use ye olde dial up which means the phone line is out of commission. Are you with me so far?
This morning I had an opticians appointment, the first one in many many years. I don't know why I'd not been for so long - except that I get myself in quite a nervous pickle about going to the opticians as I'm always worried they're going to announce I need to visit my GP ASAP because they've picked up I've got a brain tumour or some other deadly ailment!! I know, I know, it's completely irrational and eyes are very precious and should be checked every two years. Anyway, after several nervous trips to the loo, I finally left the house and practically ran to the High Street (I was running rather late because of the countless trips to the loo). The stupid thing was that after all my fretting and worrying it was all good - my eyes have only deteriorated a bit, nothing untoward was picked up re: my general health, I don't need bifocals, and I got to choose a very nice pair of new glasses which are apparently anti-allergy so won't irritate me like mad behind my ears, which my old glasses have done for the past 10 years or so!! I felt like I was walking on air when I came out of the opticians I was so relieved, and I don't have to go back again for two whole years. If you think I'm irrational about visiting the optician you should see me when I have to go to the dentist - it's not a pretty sight! Back tomorrow with a photo or two (fingers crossed!)
Bless you - I don't mind opticians - as I have actually quite good eye sight (my mam was short sighted and my dad was long sighted, I think it made me balance somewhere in the middle..)although I do worry that when they ask if there are any changes in what I can see between lenses, that I can't tell the difference! Dentists I will do anything to get out of - panci attacks and crying are usually my reaction to it all!
