Oh Great. I AM getting Old.

I have a sliver of a thorn in my thumb from walking in the woods yesterday.
It's tiny but painful.
Tried to get it out but it's barely, barely at the surface.

I was really concentrating hard to see it (just as I do to read tiny print these days on things like the bottom of lipstick tubes or directions on medication bottles).


On a whim I pulled out a pair of 'reading glasses ' I have that just magnify things (not a prescription) that I only have because they were a joke.  I got them about 4 years ago as a joke from a very blind-as-a-bat coworker.  But for whatever reason, I kept them and have them.

So I put them on.

And I could see the sliver (and teeny, tiny words) great.

Well crap.

I guess that means I'm officially getting old.  I'll be needing reading glasses to start reading the tint print (and see tiny slivers in my thumb) soon.

  1. LOL, I wear contacts or glasses to be able to see normally. BUT, now when I have my glasses on, I read under them. Worse yet, if I'm laying in bed reading, I take the glasses off, put on reading glasses and can see the book so much better. So I guess that makes me way older than you.

  2. I'm right there with you. Each time I see my eye doctor, he says, "Wow, I'm surprised you haven't broken out the readers yet." And then he goes on to try to sell me on bifocals. Which I resist. However, I do own a pair of cheaters, and they now reside in my purse instead of buried deep in my sock drawer.
