So my lovely quidnuncs, it turns out that I am, in fact, blind. Mostly. In one eye.
Okay, so I’m very far-sighted in one eye. I didn’t even realize it until I got glasses and was like “WHOA! I can SEE!”
I wore glasses when I was little because I was far-sighted in both eyes. But eventually my eyes corrected and I didn’t need them any more.
This was about, oh 10 years ago or so. It feels weird to look at that picture, which I totally remember being taken, and being able to say that was a decade ago.
…
I’m getting so old.
Anywho.
I didn’t wear glasses for 7 years. But in the last few months I’ve noticed that my vision has been fuzzy. So we went to the eye doctor finally this month and my optometrist, who I swear is somehow related to Will Smith, informed me that my right eye was very far-sighted. My left eye was perfect though.
Interruption: Our cat has decided that laying over my lap while I’m typing is a good idea. This is interesting.
So now I have glasses. But only one side is a prescription. The other is just a lens. So it’s really weird when I take them off because I can feel my right eye trying really hard to see, but I can see because my left is like Mr. Perfect.
So I just wear them. Because it’s easier than having my eye throbbing when I take them off from straining to see.
Apparently I look just like Skylar with glasses. Especially when my hair is curly. Mom said, “Dang. Now you look even more like you could be Skylar’s sister.” His dad was like “Are you trying to make fun of Skylar or something? Curly hair and glasses?”. It’s pretty funny. We’ve already been mistaken as siblings several times before. So it’s really nothing new.
So blogaddicts; I’m no longer blind. It’s so nice. I love being not blind.

Isn’t it nice not being blind? I got glasses when I was about 7 and every time I go to get a new prescription (my eyes are so bad…) I’m like HOLY GUACAMOLE, THE WORLD IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Your optometrist looks like Will Smith? I think I’d start to make up excuses just so I could go see him
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll! You officially are super awesome. Not that you weren’t super awesome before, but it’s official now. I actually didn’t know you had a blog. I’ve followed your mom’s blog for a while now and I’ve looked at your book review blog a bunch, but yeah… The end. I’m really bad a finishing sentences. I usually just put a smiley face and hope people don’t notice my awkwardness Prime example right there.

Oh yes, its wonderful being not blind. I, too, was like “OHMYGOSH the world! I can SEE it!”
It was a magical day. The rainbow hovering over the Walmart parking lot emphasized its magicalness. I’m pretty sure there was a unicorn somewhere nearby, too.
Oh yay for being officially awesome! I need a certificate or something probably.
Hehe well I first looked at your blog a while back when you commented on a post of my moms about pineapples and totally got the Psych reference. I knew we were destined to be best bloggy friends forever from that moment because Psych is the best show in the universe(even though SOME people I know are all like “What da heck this is DUMB.” and then I’m all like “You’re DUMB.” And then we aren’t friends anymore.), followed by The Office which most people I know think is dumb and I just don’t get them.
And its okay about the non-sentence-finishing. I do it all the time. My brothers call me on it all the time. They’re like “Kait you just didn’t finish what you were saying. What the heck.”
So its all good.
