Bi-focals

So Roger & I went to the eye doctor Saturday (@ 8am.  Who the hell makes an appointment at 8am? My mate, apparently)  and I totally caved and am getting bi-vocals.  Fuck me.

Now I know I've needed them for 5 years now.  I ember the day when my son handed me a bottle of ibuprofen and I was reading the dosage for a 10 year old or whatever his weight was then...and I couldn't read the print.  I took off my glasses and held my arm out until shit came into focus.

So, now after my 5 year denial, I can't even see the computer screen with my glasses on & can see "meh" better with them off.  I am officially old.  My son is 14 & a musical savant.  He was at our home in Chicago last Christmas.  He heard the theme to "Game of Thrones" a few times.  He then went back to his "school residence" & commenced to compose his own piano arrangement for the song.  Melody & countermelody...it was gorgeous.  Did I mention he taught himself to play the piano in 2 years?  Yes, he did.  He is also the #1 baritone player in Oklahoma at the age of 14.

I'm so proud!

So yeah, bi-vocals.




Roger is 4 years older.  He needs them, too, but he didn't cave.  Bastard.  And I say that with all the love in my heart.  Dammit.



Oh, this is my genius when he was little.  Adorable?  Absolutely.
