you’ve got to be kidding me
I’ve started to need reading glasses. Actually like the kind that balance on the tip of your nose. I kid you not — I’m only 34, this isn’t fair. So I have reading glasses from the pharmacy to wear with my contacts and will have to get bifocals for my regular glasses (which are in the shop because Willa got a hold of them the other day. In one week she scratched up my glasses and got sick all over my car, which I now have to get detailed. Expensive dog.)
So I wore my reading glasses yesterday for the first time and they helped but I haven’t yet figured out how to look above them. I walked into the wall of my office not once but twice while trying to get out the door — everything was so magnified and I forgot to put my glasses on my head.
Reading glasses, foundation garments, constant sunscreen. Does anything else say middle aged in quite the same way? Dammit.

Dana,
Years ago I developed presbyopia. My problem was that I always was forgetting my reading glasses. At work and at home, I have several pairs of reading glasses everywhere, but when I go out, I forget or don’t want to carry them. Because of this, I invented i4ulenses, credit card size reading glasses you keep in your wallet like a credit card. These are pinch nose lenses you perch on your nose and not plastic magnifiers you hold in your hands. Check our web site http://www.i4ulenses.com for more details.

Dana,
Don’t even get me started.
33 went down hill, my hips started going. Drs found arthritis in my back.
I feel like an old lady and I’m only pushing 40!!
Worse news of the week: my kids tell me I’m not cool.
I used to be…I don’t know what happened.
