I didn't start out feeling old. I didn't think turning 40 would be a big deal. Then it got closer and I was a little put off by the idea. Then I turned 40 and it was fine. It's weird to think about. It's weird to say I'm 40. I didn't feel old.
Then I went to the eye doctor. No biggie, I go often enough that this shouldn't be a big deal.
And then she said it...this wonderfully nice optometrist that I had never done anything to. "I think it's time to start talking about bifocals."
I said, "but I just turned 40...".
She said, "yep, that's about the time we usually start talking about bifocals."
So...now I have bifocals. They are taking some adjusting to. I don't love them. I am not sure I hate them. In fact, I've noticed that while I'm working, they actually help. The rest of the time, they are not as helpful as I move my head up and down and side to side just trying to find the exact right position where everything is clear.
Nobody can tell by looking at them that my eyes have somehow aged. But I know. I know that my eyes have betrayed me and gotten older.
Bastard eyes!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Totally understand. I'm 41 and felt the same at 40. I'm not that old, but the talk of premenopause and needing reading glasses isn't a fun topic. I'm still in my 30s. Arnt i??
