Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 20, 2023

wait till you see my dreams – you gonna wear patches

Old bag needs a bag – over her head.

Since when does Aunty wear glasses?

That’s sad.

I need new bifocals. All the better to read and watch our parkour kitty bounce around the house.

She’s just a pink blur today.

Reminds me of the Jackson Browne song Doctor My Eyes.

For your entertainment.

I am glad I live in a time when we can repair and replace body parts.

Since my cataract surgeries, I can now see distance again and I can even read normal print if the light is bright enough and I squint :)

Some people see the world as it is.

Some see it as they want it to be.

Others see it as it could be.

People say I look better without glasses…

They take off their glasses and note how my appearance has improved dramatically.

Unfortunately, I still need glasses, even after cataract surgery.

I think we have a bit more to see. I’ll keep a monocle, just in case.

I feel that way sometimes, too.

Yep, the same excuse every drunk makes when they loose their glasses and don’t what people to know why they lost them in the first place.

Can’t she still see things still, even though it’s blurry?

As my hearing degraded, I frequently enjoyed what I thought I had heard much more than what I should have heard. No side benefits to the three pairs of glasses period of the aging process. Life is so weird.

Maybe you should get rose colored ones.

Lately, when I’m at home, I don’t wear my glasses as much as I used to. It’s strange how I don’t find myself cleaning up as much as I used to!

Two reasons I’m glad I have hearing aids: 1. I can tune things in and 2. I can tune things OUT!

I need my glasses to read the comics and they are less than an arm’s length away.

somebody has to say it “Are you wearing them any less?”

I’ll echo that.
