Transformations

My look has changed and I'm a little bit freaking out on it. You can't see pictures till I have something worth showing. I got a haircut today, and styled and dyed it. I think I'm happy with the results. In addition, glasses will now be a night-time phenomenon, and during the day, these babies will be aiding my failing eyes: contacts.

It was very difficult to get the prescription right, as you have to factor in my slightly worse eye, my slight astigmatism, the period of adjustment, the need to make a contact prescription lower than the glasses because they are closer to the eyes, and the sorry state of contacts only coming in 1/2 sizes rather than the prescription I was written, 625/625 (a quarter step). But it has all been a learning process, and now I have what I need.
I have lost glasses to the ocean waves, concert crowds, crashing in the snow, various sports, and much more. Contacts will henceforth allow me to see while I:

-Snowboard
-Roll down a grassy knoll

-Swim (and SCUBA if I get certified)
-Shower (and shave!)

-Get my hair cut
-Spar
-And Much More!

Yummer summer is all I have to say. I'm preparing for the L.A. trip and eating lots of BLUEBERRIES!
