Today&#8217;s was with the eye doctor, which is always fun.

One or t??  Sree or four?&#8221;), but a nice man who informed me that my previous prescription was too strong, which may account for the squinting, headaches, and other visual junk I&#8217;d been dealing with.  I love the delicious clicking of the various lenses in the giant machine that measures your vision, which I guess I&#8217;ve been used to since fourth grade.  Likewise the names of the frame manufacturers from the eyeglass shop next door, where I chose some new frames: exotic names like <a title=\"Luxottica Group\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luxottica.com\/english\/index.html\">Luxottica<\/a>, <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.luxotticagroup.com\/english\/sferoflex\/collezione_sferoflex.html\">Sferoflex<\/A>, and <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.safilo.com\/usa\/index.php\">Safilo<\/A>.  So I got some new glasses, and we&#8217;ll see what they look like at the end of the week.  I think I spent the shortest amount of time I&#8217;ve ever spent choosing new frames this time; let&#8217;s hope decisiveness pays off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t go to the doctor much (touch wood), but a confluence of events has led to me schedule three doctor&#8217;s appointments in four days this week.
