last summer i was over at am's house...her reading glasses were on the table, i picked them up and looked at my blackberry and was surprised at how clear the print was. i quickly went into the settings and increased the font- disaster averted.
last month, i complained that screen on my laptop at work was old and the words were difficult to read due to the age and roadtrips it had been on. i received a new wide screen hp- disaster averted.
two weeks ago while attempting to read " khaled hosseini , a thousand splendid suns" at night, i found my arms extending away from me in order to bring the words in clear. fuh, no more room to run on this one.
with head hung low and slow plotted steps...i left the house in search of my first readers. i live in a neighbourhood filled with "olds" so via a quick walk i found a local eye glass shop and bought a pair of readers. who knew there were so many styles and price points.
i am so depressed. combine that with the night sweats of late and i think i may need to acquiesce and welcome in mid life. no worries tho - i never wanted a corvette.

Well, I really had to laugh at that one! Night sweats too!!!SN
Definitely a chuckle for this 'old' soul.
Tricks of the 'mature' generation:
- stong lights
- wallet size magnifier
- cotton pj's or nothing at all with a 'cool' quilt
Oh and last but not least - a huge sense of humour
PS -- go see 'Menopause the Musical', then laugh at what life presents
