Done yesterday (20111228 We)

[mdlbear]

It's fairly easy to be productive when there's only one other person at work; they left at noon. I left around 4:30 because Lenscrafters had called to say my new glasses were in.

The only person who noticed was Chaos, and I might have said something that gave her a hint.

The new computer glasses are a major win, but different enough to be somewhat disorienting. I got used to the bifocals fairly quickly, though the reading spots are stronger, which makes for more of a discontinuity across the line. Now I have to remember to take them to and from work.

I just realized that the computer glasses are perfect for singing; the lyrics are at about the same distance as the screen. {duh!}

Meanwhile, guaifenesin actually seems to be helping with my chronic congestion, and reduces the "lump in the throat" mucus effect. So that's a big win.

A couple of good links in the notes on marriage equality, and one on free speech and Firefly, down at the bottom.

  % guaifenesin actually seems to be helping the congestion.  Yay!
  * pick up new glasses at Lenscrafters.  Noticably stronger.  The computer
    glasses are a *major* win, but different enough to be disorienting.

One of these days I need to make that bifocal jump.

I was a bit upset when I had to do it, but it really was a big improvement once I got used to them (which took less time than I expected).

I was in my mid-forties, IIRC.

My father generally uses his computer glasses for Bell Choir music. But yeah, anything on a music stand ends up about the right distance for computer glasses, usually.
