Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Can You See?

I can see!

The optometrist told me that I don’t need reading glasses.

In the last 25 years, I have been prescribed reading glasses and I have spent approximately $3500.

I was ripped off - thank you very much Spec Savers.

This is why I switched to OPSM.

I DO, however, require distance glasses and in the last five years my eyesight has deteriorated so little that he told me not to even worry about getting new glasses. But I will.

I’m using all of my old frames because they are excellent quality, top brand name frames that have barely been used.

Now I’m waiting on a quote to be emailed.

By rights, it shouldn’t cost me a cent because I have private health cover for optical, but we’ll see.

I’m so tired now, I can hardly keep my eyes open!

It’s definitely time to sleep.





Nite all.
