Dear SG,

This past Saturday I went to the eye doctor. I took him my old prescription, and after testing my eyes he asked, "Do your eyes hurt? Are they irritated often?" I told him my eyes felt fine, that I had been wearing contacts since I was 12 with no problems.

He put drops in my eyes and shone bright lights in them, then said my eyes looked healthy, but he thinks they are swollen. Because when he tested me, my astigmatism seemed way worse than what my old prescription indicated.

"So," he said, "either the last place [Wal-Mart] was waaaay off on your old prescription [fully possible], or your eyes are swollen and seeking oxygen."

So.



I have to wear glasses now. For a week for sure, but I'll probably start wearing them more often. They were FUCKING. EXPENSIVE. $230.00! And that was with WITH the 40% off sale that was going on! My prescription is so strong that they ordered me super fancy, super-thin lenses (otherwise they would've been distorted-ass coke bottle lenses), which cost more than the frames.

Also, as you can see, I got more of my hair chopped off. Hooray for short hair!
