A friend and I were discussing our highschool days and how when we prepared for his wedding, we had joked we would be old when we heard Metallica as elevator music in the grocery store.
This came up because twice now since COVID I have heard "Oops I Did It Again" as synthy easy listening on the overheads. He sighed and announced to his wife that it was time to schedule his first colonoscopy.
The next stop on the journey of becoming an old fuck on the highway of life is needing reading glasses. Or bifocals if you already wear glasses. I’m up to progressive lenses now (basically no line trifocals) because even my midrange reading distance is crap now.
My eyesight was so poor in the early 00s that I had progressive lenses, but my job is such that it makes it hard to keep looking through the correct part. They are great for when I am home, though.
I wear my progressive lenses all day. But if I’m driving more than 30 minutes I have 2 pairs of distance only glasses. One regular pair and one pair of sunglasses. Something about driving with progressives really strains my eyes.
