Glasses, Friends & Motherhood

The new glasses are great. I picked them up yesterday afternoon from the opticians. When I first put them on I didn't notice much difference and then the guy asked me to look around the room and make sure they were okay. I picked them up off my nose, looked through my eyes and then put the glasses back on and everything just cleared right up. So there'll be no more squinting off into the distance trying to make out faces and sights. I used them for the first time last night when Jem was playing Halo 3. I can't tell you how much of a difference they made. It was like I could finally see how the game was supposed to look. And there were no headaches. The only thing I have to do now is get used to always putting them on when I watch TV. I forgot a few times last night but I'm sure it'll come in time. I was going to take some photos of me wearing them but my hair is such a mess today that I'd rather wait until I'm feeling more presentable. I am vain, yes. I was wrong about the colour of my second pair, though. They are orange but the orange is on the inside; on the outside they're a lovely brown colour. I adore both pairs but I think I've decided my black/red ones are for in the house and when visiting family; while the brown/orange ones will be my out-and-about pair. Ray and I christened the black/red ones last night so I think it'll be the brown/orange one's turn tonight ;)

My afternoon out with my old friend was lots of fun. I wasn't in a very talkative mood but that was okay; there were no awkward silences or anything. It was really weird. It was as if we'd been friends for years. We'll be meeting up more regularly from now on, I think. It's nice to have a friend living close by who I can go and visit cos all of my friends live off around the country so I hardly ever see them in person.

Sweepie is on tablets for her epilepsy now, and so far there hasn't been anymore fits or fainting episodes. I'm still watching her like a hawk, though. The tablets have made her quite dopey, though, and her sleepiness has made her grumpy. Poor Martha has been on the receiving end of most of her complaints this week. But we've halved the dosage now (cos she kept stumbling about cos the dosage was a bit too high for her and so was making her too dopey) so I'm hoping her mood will improve again. I'll just be relieved when I know the tablets are definitely working and I no longer have to worry about her when she's on her own. Being a mother is very stressful.
