My New Glasses: Learning the GL Sound | Dina Santos

#nonbookrelated I am usually the LAST person on earth to post a selfie, I can't produce a smile that doesn't look fake, but I wanted to show my new glasses. My old pair broke during the pandemic, so I've been half blind for months. Didn't affect my reading, thankfully, because I'm nearsighted. Best part, they were a Christmas gift from Office Depot, so I didn't have to pay for the doctor's appt. or the glasses themselves.

IndoorDame Nice! 3y

You guys. I have worn glasses since 5th grade, but just last week I asked my eye doctor about prescription reading glasses. How have I gone so many years without dedicated reading glasses?

Deliriously happy 🤓

Suet624 It‘s funny when you suddenly discover something like that. 4y

JoScho Yay!! 4y

2020 did not bring me 20/20 vision, and my glasses finally came in.

ljuliel yes , but NOW you have 20/20 vision 👍🏼 4y

Tianarose @ljuliel this is true! My eyes haven‘t quite caught on yet! 4y

ljuliel You‘ll get the hang of them. I remember when I first got glasses, it was hard to even walk with them on, because the floor looked closer than it was. The neighbors probably thought I was drunk , out stumbling all over the yard. 4y

Kaye Doggone, we have some Beauty Queens in Litsy. Makes me wanna go get a face lift, tummy tuck, new wardrobe, work out for about 7000 hours, buy some makeup and figure out what to do with it , dye my hair , and show a little bit more SKIN. That all sounds like a lot of work, so I‘ll just say you are gorgeous , now could someone pass me another slab of CAKE ? 6y

So I‘m wrapping up my #LMPBC read for #GroupR and also trying to decide on what to do for my bookmark exchange matches. I‘ve also got a few unfinished books that I want to finish before New Year‘s Day. I think 🤔 I‘m going to skip challenges and read-a-longs in 2018 and read #FreeStyle

My new everyday glasses 👓 I have to go and get these ones adjusted, the hubby picked them up for me coz after shopping for two days straight, I can barely walk (also why I haven't posted till now😔) They're actually deep purple with jeweled purple flowers on the arms. Whattya think guys? Can I pull off the sexy librarian look, or should I just give up & put a paper bag over my head?😋

DivineDiana Very nice! 💜 7y

Finally!!! Got them today so am still struggling with breaking them in. They are helping with the blurriness but I'm still having focusing issues and those Giant ass floaters are still there😡 But any improvement is a win & I love the frames, they're very lightweight. These are my readers, I have another pair for everyday use. They asked me if I wanted the lighter pair for everyday, I told them I read mostly everyday!🤓

Suet624 What a pixie, indeed! 😀 Ugh! Floaters! Lyme Disease really ratcheted them up for me. 7y

mjdowens 👏👏👍👍 7y

rockpools 🎉Hooray for new glasses! 🎉 I hope they help - and I love the frames! 7y

Ok I must REALLY LIKE you guys cuz I NEVER post pics of myself. Here I am modeling my new glasses with a sinus pack on my head because I am still so hot I feel like my brain is melting. They are bifocals so I am still getting used to them but I can read a lot better. I don't like my cats on my pillow but Taz is right beside me. We had a mild winter here in Chicago and I should have known it would add up to a hot summer! Oh well ❤️❤️❤️❤️you guys!!!

Megabooks They look fantastic! 7y

Megabooks I hope you can see better with them. 7y

JacqMac I need bifocals soon. But I have been resisting. Lol They look great on you! 7y

Jas16 Great glasses! 7y

Mimi28 @Booksandcooks Thanks!! I can see better I am just getting used to the line in the middle and that I have to look up for distance and down for reading, lol 7y

Zelma I love my glasses (and have been wearing them for almost 20 years). Hope they work well for you! 7y

Mimi28 @JacqMac Thanks! They are really not that bad I can read a lot better ❤️❤️ 7y

Mimi28 @Jas16 Thanks!!! ❤️❤️ 7y

Mimi28 @Zelma Thanks!! I just got the bifocals yesterday but have been wearing glasses since I was about 7, lol 7y

saresmoore Your glasses look fabulous! Even in spite of the "I hate summer" sentiment you're portraying. Haha! ♥️ 7y

Mimi28 @saresmoore Thanks!! 😊 I don't hate summer I just don't like it very much at all, lol. I'm in a high crime area of Chicago and things get worse when the weather is hot- bad for introverts like me who only go to the library. I also like to hide in jackets and non-revealing clothing. Hot weather is not so good for that either, lol 🤷🏽‍♀️ 7y

saresmoore Oh my goodness, I relate so much! Except that I'm in South Florida and it's always hot and the crime is always at an extreme... Someday, I'll live in a place with scarf & coat weather. For now, I turn on the house alarm, draw the drapes, and hide in the A/C. 😬 7y

Mimi28 @saresmoore Thanks ❤️ At least you have a house alarm and A/C ❤️ Crime is pretty bad here all the time too but worse in the summer because people who have been hibernating all winter come out and get into trouble. I love my scarves and coats!! I also feel much safer in the winter because there are not as many people outside. I am generally just not a people person though, lol 7y

LauraBrook Love the glasses!!! And yeah, hot weather? Not so much. I'm with you on the jackets and non-revealing clothing too. So far the summer hasn't been too horrible, but this week has sucked. (I'm in Milwaukee, so same weather pretty much.) Here's for staying inside! 7y

Mimi28 @LauraBrook Thanks!! ❤️❤️❤️I will be staying inside a lot more now, unless it's a walk to the library 👍😉 7y

rubyslippersreads Gorgeous glasses! 😍 7y

RealBooks4ever Cute glasses! 😎 7y

Mimi28 @rubyslippersreads @RealBooks4ever Thanks!!! ❤️❤️❤️I was worried about the light colored frames because it seems like EVERYONE has dark stylish frames here. My old frames were black and square but I really liked the cat-eye style of these new ones ❤️❤️😻😻 7y

RealBooks4ever Cat-eye frames rock! 💜💜💜 7y

Mimi28 @RealBooks4ever Yes!! They sure do!! 😻😻❤️❤️ 7y

EllieDottie They look great!! Anything that can help you read is awesome!! 7y

Mimi28 @EllieDottie Thanks!! ❤️❤️❤️I agree!! ❤️❤️ 7y

Bklover Love the glasses, and bifocals are actually wonderful once you get used to the idea! Hope the weather cools off for you (not a totally generous sentiment as I am in southern Illinois and if it's cooler in Chicago it should be cooler here too!). 7y

KaatjeH Great glasses!! 🤓 7y

LeahBergen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

Mimi28 @Bklover @KaatjeH @LeahBergen Thanks!! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y

ValerieAndBooks @vivastory I've started thinking about it...I'll try to start out with finishing up my current reads, mix it up with the March Trilogy graphic novels if they are all ready for pick up from library by then, and do some reading for my challenges! I hope to physically put together the TBR within the next couple days. This will be fun 😊! (edited) 7y
