Remember when I was complaining about the weather? Oh man, we’ve hit another extreme. Today’s heat index in MN topped 100+ degrees. The sun has gone down and I’m STILL feelin’ pretty melty. We don’t have central air in the tiny house, and the boyfriend (and I) failed to install our clunky window unit before he left for a jazz gig in northern MN this afternoon. Shoot. However, our little outdoor garden of potted plants is just LOVING the weather. Check out our funny bean plants. This one’s super scrawny, yet it’s bearing two HUGE bean pods. Just two. That’s all. Cute!
So while the plants are thriving, I’m sitting with a glass of ice water with a fan pointed directly at me trying not to move. Actually, I was in a state of trying not to move earlier today, too, but it was mostly due to my EYES. I went to the eye doctor today for a check up and they dilated my pupils, which I should have undoubtedly planned for. It always happens, and I always kick myself for not taking the rest of the day off. I walked out of the appointment in the blinding noon sun, tears instantly running down my face. Loved the new eye doctor, but I’m a little upset they didn’t supply me with those sweet plastic wraparound shades. Luckily, instead of jumping in my car and blindly running over five people due to my blindness, I was close enough to home to hoof it back for some lunch and rest.
My eyes are finally feeling better and I’m excited to pick out some new frames in the next couple of days. I really love the oversized/vintage look but I’m afraid they’re going to lose their quirkiness/cool factor in the next year or two? Glasses definitely can be a trendy item, so I think I might just need to stick to something classic so I’m not stuck with a crazy pair of glasses in a couple of years. Either that, or I’ll just go for it and rock the quirkiness. I wish I had a bigger budget to afford more frames so I could mix up my look. Unfortunately, my glasses now have a unique prism coating because I’m apparently quite cross eyed. Shoot. And expensive. So it looks like no cute Warby Parkers for me.
I suppose I don’t have many (or any) pics of me with my current glasses on this page. Shoot. Well here’s a cruddy photobooth pic of them. I usually wear them all day at work, but I don’t wear them much at home, except for when my eyes get tired. I might need to invest in a pair that I actually want to wear all of the time. It’s sometimes frustrating to get ready each day, be all ready to go, and then have to throw on my glasses. I just don’t usually like how I look in them, so I think I try to avoid wearing them whenever possible. They just don’t feel “like me.” Oh well. Hopefully I’ll find a decent pair in a few days!
