We are busily getting ready for our move. Make that, Don is busily getting ready for our move. He’s working his tail off packing and running errands and calling people and taking care of all the details while I wrap up the school year at work. I am so lucky that he is such a hard worker and so on top of things. I’m feeling rather overwhelmed by the major changes going on and wishing that I had some time after I finished the school year to prepare for the move. It is not to be, though. Moving day is Saturday, but I still have to work on Monday and Tuesday next week (I’ll stay at my parents’ house for those two days). I’m not sure how I’m going to feel on Wednesday when I wake up to a new life, suddenly done working for a couple months and living in a new house in a new city.
On Monday, I went to get my eyes examined and get some new glasses. I’ve been paying for vision insurance, so I figured I might as well use it before I move. I forgot how excruciating it is to hold your eyes open while someone shines a bright light directly into them. The thought actually flitted through my mind during the exam that maybe that is what hell is like. The good news is that my retinas are in great shape; the bad news is that even with those stupid-looking disposable sunglasses they give you after they dilate your eyes, I had a rough time driving home afterwards. My prescription changed very slightly. I was tired and I don’t like picking out frames (I have to shove my nose two inches from the mirror to see how they look on my face), so I took the easy way out and asked if I could get the same style frames I have now. I like the frames I have now and they don’t seem horribly out-of-date. Fortunately, they are still available, so I got that chore taken care of quickly. The next question is whether they will come in before we move or I’ll have to make a special trip to drive back and pick them up.
