So, the back pain was pretty distressing Monday morning. Then i went to get my new glasses. I am moderately frustrated with the fitting as i am with myself for accepting the fitting. Was i in too much discomfort to notice how tight they were at my temples? And why does it seem so hard to see? Why am i such a poor judge of what is comfortable? It seems a surreal thing to be "bad" at, but there i am. I've tried bending the frames a bit with my hands, since that's all the woman fitting the glasses did.

I've spent Monday afternoon in bed with the luxurious "zero G" mode cradling me, turning on and off the heating pad. Then some odd discomfort was been triggered in my right arm, like a little nerve pinch, perhaps. Fie.

I think you're not alone with the fit issues. I've often noticed a distinct difference in clothing acceptance when I buy online vs when I try on in stores. I am much more likely to walk out with nothing but more likely to keep something from an online order, even when I don't love it immediately. It's curious because when I do like something I know it right away.

hmm, this entry is showing up among July 4/5 entries? I hope you are feeling better and/or working out the bed number thing. Back pain is awful; you feel it with every move (or no move) you make. But being in pain from one thing distracts you from others. I hope the prescription is correct.

I would kind of like to try ordering glasses online; the frames I get are very expensive, but they've been the only ones that I don't hate every minute of wearing. And they do get minor adjustments when they come in. I can be oblivious to some body signals (um, feeling exhausted and lightheaded? When did I eat/drink last? oh right, must do that.)
