It's taking a little bit to get used to them.
Monday I had new lenses put in my glasses for the first time in three years. My annual eye appointment two years ago was canceled because, you know, the world was canceled, and then I didn't get to it last year. So a few weeks ago I trudged out to get my vision checked out, and found that I needed a slightly different prescription for one of my eyes. Hence, the new lenses.
It usually takes me a day or so to get used to the new lenses, but here we are, almost 48 hours later, and things are still kinda...funky. When I look at some things I get an almost 3-D like effect (which, admittedly, is kinda cool), while I'm looking at things really close to me it's almost better to take my glasses off and look at whatever it is. Things are better than they were the first time I put them on, had that super 3-D effect on everything, and then had to ride my bike back to work, so I'm sure I'll eventually get used to them. But for now?
It's strange. Let's leave it at that.

Speaking of riding bikes (and yes, the bike paths in Marquette were clear Monday so I rode my bike instead of driving), the people who work at my optometrist's office still remember my visit from 2013 and still comment upon it every time I pop in. That visit occurred several days after my infamous bike accident—you remember, the one where I lost a tooth, had cuts everywhere on my body, and had four stitches near my right eye—and it apparently left quite the impression on them.
Especially, as it turns out, when I ride my bike to their office, like yesterday, and get new lenses. Their comment each and every time, with a smile--
“Are you SURE you want to do that?”
It's nice to know that some people care about a klutz and his health.
