Was Blind But Now I See

I had a fun and interesting morning at the eye doctor's office today. I am now wearing contacts, the 30-day disposable kind. Before today I had no idea of this, but apparently my left eye is my distance eye and my right eye is my close-up eye. It'll be fun to see how this affects work tomorrow, such as when I'm threading needles or trying to match stripes on striped binding. 

I will also be cutting my hair because that was the first thing I noticed, how out-of-control my hair looks right now. It hit me just how blind I've been, doing my hair and putting on makeup without glasses on. It's so funny how life-changing this is, and yet not.

After the appointment, I came home and played with Baby R and watched Law & Order SVU with Maya. I took the baby and ran a quick errand to Starbucks and then to the ATM. I dropped her off at home, then went to the post office and Goodwill. I'm looking for big sloppy warm shirts and sweaters to wear over my clothes for work, since our workplace is unheated. I have no idea how this will go, but last year in our old space, with a non-working furnace, it was stinking cold and layers were our life savers. Yvonne says that everyone in production also put heating pads on their chairs. Last winter I was in shipping, and ran around all day with cold hands and feet - I can't imagine having to sit and sew and just freeze the whole time. Not my thing. I scored some nice things at Goodwill, all blue. I can't seem to get away from that color.

Speaking of blue: I cut layers in my hair (thanks YouTube):
Put together a new bullet journal with new stickers:
I made R lunch and we watched a couple of episodes of Yar together. She suddenly had a hankering for carrot cake, so we drove to Safeway and bought treats for her, Bella and me.

After picking Hubby up from work, we went to REI and he bought some Danner hiking shoes for his birthday. Yay!
