Have you ever had something going on with your body or your mind and wondered if you were imagining it? Someone mentions some kind of illness and you wonder if you have it too because you feel symptoms which are somewhat like what they described? I used to have that a lot with pregnancy, between ovulation and time for my period … every little flutter, boob soreness or anything else I thought “Oh my god… could it be?!”.. it never was, of course.
Anyhow, today I’ve been sitting behind my laptop and I find myself squinting. Things look blurry… and if I squint I find it easier to read. It’s quite annoying really.
Is this really happening, or am I imagining it after the episode with the glasses last weekend? I’m not sure if I am imagining this sight problem I seem to be having, or if I’m just noticing it now that I’ve seen what things should really look like?
When I was in the shop, the guy put these weird goggles on my face and twisted some shit… and everything looked so clear! I had been walking around for the last 31 years thinking that the way I have been seeing things is how they are meant to be seen! Then suddenly this guy shows me how slightly fubar my eyes actually are.
We are covered for 500 euros / 3 years for glasses… even though that’s just the lenses, not the frames (bizarre). I think I’m going to go and get glasses and see just how much difference it really makes, if any. This is totally fucking with my head.
hehe Theo you are weird, dude :P How do you feel like you are kneeing yourself in the face. My legs are too short for that to even be possible I think.
Staci – Man, that Dooce chick. She has some serious traffic to her website. I was looking at it yesterday and was boggled. Maybe I should mail her for some tips. I’d LOVE to actually make money from my blog. Eish!
I did see her post about the mole too, it was pretty interesting. I have this weird skin blob thing on my belly I have to get removed. Maybe I’ll gross people out with that.
Definately going to go get the glasses I think. When it’s cool enough for me to want to leave the house.
OMG – this is just happening to me today. I read Dooce’s website yesterday (www.dooce.com), and she just had a cancerous thing cut out. Now I have this little bump just below my neck that hurts today! And my mind is running away with it!!
Glasses – yes. You will love walking outside and being able to see all of the tiny details on a tree or building that you didn’t even know you were missing.
When I have my sleeping medication and I’m laying in bed, my stomach tends to gurgle like there’s no tomorrow if I lie on my left side. Never happens on the right side, nor when I don’t have medication. Funnily enough, the meds aren’t tablets, so any particular reaction in my stomach can be ruled out.
It baffles me, anyway..
Certainly beats the “ticks” I develop every now and then, when trying to sleep. From around January to April, the main tick was I’d lie in bed (on my right side), and I’d repeatedly get the feeling that I was wearing my glasses and kneeing myself in the face. Obviously, I wasn’t wearing my glasses OR kneeing myself in the face, but to remedy it I’d have to turn myself over 360 degrees, just to get rid of the feeling. Watch it come back now that I’ve mentioned it.
My wearing glasses started at squinting trying to see the board in school then when i started driving i had to wear them only to drive and watch tv. then i left them on without thinking and my eyes got worse and now i wear them all the time. I’m not toatally blind but i have to squint to see things if i don’t wear my glasses. i dont think ppl look bad eith them if you get the right frames…. but getting back to the whole mind game thing… yes def fucking with your mind and if you do really need them. I do agree with the fact maybe try thme and see how much of a difference it makes hope not cuz i wouldnt wishes glasses on anyone i prefer my contacts to my glasses but i find myself wearing them only on secial events(contacts) i mean….. good luck with it. lol i dunno if this ramble made sense but that’s my story and im sticking to it. lol
