Shocked

Even though we knew it was coming, I'm shocked about the overturn of Roe vs. Wade. I'm too old for it to apply to me directly (plus I'm in a blue state), but I feel for the young people. And who knows where all this will end. Let's hope that it gets out the vote for the midterms.

I had a hell of the time getting my contact lenses in, but finally got them in. And I need to wear reading glasses in order to work with them in. Contact lenses are a pain :)

I went to the optician. The person with whom I needed to discuss glasses won't be in until next Thursday. I told them that I was desperate for glasses, and asked if I could get my prescription so that I could order them online. At first, the person with whom I was talking couldn't print it out, but the other person was able to print it. So that worked out well for me. I can order from Zenni or another online place! I might get two, given my track record in losing glasses.

I stopped at the library as long as I was downtown. I ran into a former colleague who is now the head of the public library. We had a discussion about the closing of the college at which we both used to work.

I received my Cloud Paper (bamboo toilet paper) order, but haven't tried it out yet.

Ran errands. Picked up my prescriptions. Got tons of soda. Bought a few things that I didn't include in my grocery pickup, and also noted that Walmart was out of the salmon fillets that I ordered, so I got some with skin on. Picked up my grocery order. Got cash for mowing. Came home and ripped the contacts out of my aching eyes. Now I'm sitting for a few minutes. Got the groceries put away.

I looked at Zenni and Warby Parker glasses. I found some Zenni glasses that I like in their Fast Frame collection. I like that Warby Parker allows you to try on different frames. Because I want to get two sets of glasses, I'll get the one that comes fast from Zenni and a set of them to try on from Warby Parker. But I think that I'm too tired to make any decisions tonight.

I've been reading the commentary on the Supreme Court decision, but I should go to sleep. The mess will still unfortunately be here tomorrow.

Meanwhile on the same day in Germany the parliament ruled that the "ban on advertising abortion" is to be removed. "Advertising" in this case does not mean "buy one, get one free" but that clinics and OpGyns can mention on their homepages that they will do such a procedure and offer the formal, legal explanation and education around it.

It was such a dissonance between those two news flashes next to each other.

I got my glasses from Payne online - and have been very happy with them!
