So I turn 40 in two weeks, and my reading glasses I've had since 1994 aren't quite cuttin' it anymore. I had a shit-ton of money left over in my health-care spending account that I was going to lose if I didn't use it, so I got some new glasses. Bifocals. I'm blind up close and far away. Yay for me.
So the optometrist guy recommends these no-line variable glasses: distance vision through the top of the lens, middle ground through the middle, and up-close through the bottom part. Sounds great in theory; but you spend a lot of time tilting your head, trying to find that elusive sweet spot of focus.
And taking a leak is a total nightmare, because you have to look down, but looking down looks through the up-close part of the lens, so you have to crane your neck over so you're looking down while looking through the top half of the lenses, and it makes you look like you must have the tiniest little wang in the world.
Getting old sometimes sucks.
