My eyes have been a trouble to me for the past two years. I have gotten in the habit of expecting problems. When I left the condo this morning I was not seeing clearly. Things were fuzzy and the edges were not sharp. But I just continued to squint and hope things got better. Ken and I were walking to the mall to have our hair cut. I did not say a word to Ken about my eyes. I just assumed something else was happening to my eyes that I could not control. I just kept my head down and kept walking.
Ken was first to have his hair cut. I was sitting looking out the window checking my vision, first looking out one eye and then the other. It was clear that I was not seeing well. Then I took my glasses off and discovered my vision was better without my glasses. Finally, the mystery was solved. I had forgotten to switch from my reading glasses when I left home. I had been reading my iPad and when Ken told me that he was ready to leave, I got up and left without changing glasses. No wonder I could not see clearly. I was wearing glasses that are clear at 12 inches but not for distance. So I put my reading glasses in my pocket and chuckled to myself.
Once again, I did something to keep me humble. Now my question is why it took me so long to figure out I was wearing the wrong glasses. A normal person would have picked it up much sooner I bet. But I expect my eyes not to work well I guess. Or maybe it was just stupidity. But no matter what, I had a good laugh at my own expense. Oops, once again.
