Pain

Just today I started feeling sick.  David was sick earlier in the week so it’s not that much of a surprise.  As the day went on, it got gradually worse with sneezing and headaches.

And for some reason I decided that it was a good idea to pick up my new glasses — new frames and lenses.  Bad decision… now I definitely have a headache more due to the change in prescription.  Apparently my prescription has lowered since 5 years ago.  Result is that everything looks a lot more vibrant and sharp at mid to close distance, the contrast is really high, and I feel like I’m always cross-eyed.

I wanted to switch back to my old pair … such a temptation but it’s not a good idea to keep switching back and forth.

Also, I was typing on Peter’s laptop in QWERTY and it was sooo hard.  I had to look at almost every key as I typed.  I’m not amazing at Dvorak quite yet, but I’ve started to forget QWERTY (unless it’s with my thumbs on my BlackBerry).  What a strange feeling to have started to forget something I’ve spent the last decade or more perfecting (cue spiritual analogy of your choice).

And none of this is even real pain.
