New Glasses

New Glasses

[Taken 3 November 2014]

Seems I go four to six years between new prescriptions. This time, I was getting headaches (and was getting tired of my poorly-fitted glasses sliding down my face), so I decided to get a new prescription to rule out eyestrain as a cause of my headaches. Wasn’t the glasses — like four years ago, my prescription barely changed — although the headaches could still be caused by either my neck injury or my orthodontics.

The interior of my new glasses are a turquoise color that really brightens my blue-hazel eyes. I also like the different shape; it opens my eyes and suits my facial structure better than the rectangular frames.

I think so, anyway. So far, I really like them.

Fall Mums

Fall Mums

I saw these on Wednesday evening, as I was walking out with Connor to fetch some garbage that had blown into our yard. I don’t remember seeing them last year — of course, there were so many tall weeds in the borders last year that they might have been hidden.

I just had to take a little photography detour this morning before taking Connor to daycare, since who knows when we’ll get our first killing frost — then all of this will be done until next year.

Kitty Mei

Mei Loves the Sunroom

[Taken 4 October 2014]

I don’t take nearly enough pictures of my kitty cat lately, so here’s one of Mei enjoying the sunroom recently.

She’s a healthy kitty, and she’s still pretty active, but she’s ten years old. It makes me sad to think that our time with her is more than half over.
