By the look of it, I'm going to need to get glasses. I was on the fence about it, partly because the optometrist seemed to be on the fence too. ("Well, you don't necessarily need them right NOW, though of course you will in the future...") Buuut today's driving session kind of drove home that yeah, I need it. There's no getting around it.

I mean, you're kind of supposed to be able to read the names on the street signs before you're basically on top of 'em, right?

How inconvenient. And annoying. Ah well, at least I only need 'em for this one thing. (Well, and for reading the behind-counter menu at cafes, heh. But I can deal.)

Speaking of driving: I still utterly detest it, but I'm getting better at it. I think. Or at least I'm getting better at the specific stuff we've been working on. ...We're going to do some driving through the city on the weekend, and I'm really not looking forward to it, because I really hate driving in traffic. It jogs my anxiety like nothing else. But I'm not going to get comfortable with that unless I do it more often, so there we are. At least it'll be nice to get to the library more quickly - it normally takes about 40 minutes, not because of the bus ride, but because of how much walking is required to get to the bus stops.

...Aaanyway....

Fuck it, I'm going to have to get up at the asscrack of dawn again, aren't I. I wish time-turners really existed.

I need my glasses all the time now, sigh. Not just for roadsigns, but for the tiny writing on stuff. Why do they write so small on things?

Sympathy on the glasses - I started wearing mine when I started driving all the time (mostly because my eyes are bad enough that I legally have to wear them to drive, I reeeeally should have been wearing them all the time). It does make driving easier though, once you get used to wearing them. And I'm glad to hear driving is starting to get easier!

I have to wear glasses all the time - when I first started wearing them, it was actually /great/ since I could see so much better. But I really needed them ^^;; but the journey to the right pair can be tough!

Uh, yes, road signs work much better when you can see them from something of a distance! I've made the mistake of taking off my glasses to clean them while driving and haha, suddenly I had no idea where I was. XD

I remember that at one point either I remarked to my dad about the distance at which I could read road signs, or he asked me about it, and that was the impetus to finally take me into get glasses, since it was pretty clear I was going to need them. (And then I promptly ditched them for contacts for various reasons, but.) Trees look so amazing when your eyes are corrected! Like upgrading the textures in a video game, lol. Good luck with finding a pair you like.
