I had an early meeting, but forgot and slept a little late. I still made the meeting on time, but didn't have time to shower beforehand. I did that in between meetings. I wanted to start early because I had to take some time off to get my new glasses.

That took two hours this afternoon. I was having my new sunglasses fit, and new lenses ground to fit my existing frames. I got there at 2:00, but the person doing the work wasn't off lunch yet because I got the time wrong. I'd sear they told me 2:00, and not 2:30. But they fit my sunglasses first. That took 25 minutes, and then I had 45 minutes to an hour to kill. I decided to go home. It was a 15 minute drive one way, so that would give me up to half an hour at home.

I had to leave my glasses with them, so I opted to drive home with my sunglasses on, but it was a dreary grey day. At home I had to use an old pair of glasses. They are ten years old, and the close vision is bad, but the distance vision was still OK. On the home I stopped for gas, and then went over to the lake for a photo. Once home, I spent five minutes at work before they called to tell me my glasses were ready. They'd said 45 to 60 minutes, but it turned out to be 45.

New glasses are good. The sunglasses will take some getting used to because they're a bit wraparound so things get warped as I turn my head. Here's me in my new Dragon sunglasses:



When I first picked them out, the guy was taking me around the store collecting one I might like to try on. I found these and decided they were it, but the guy was still like, "let me run over there and grab a couple more." Sure dude, whatever. I like these. I thought they looked cool, and not the kind of thing I normally wear. The woman who fitted them for me said they looked "slick." But now I think they look like old man sunglasses. :-)

After supper I had a book team meeting for an hour. And then at 9:45 I had a work meeting with the team in India. Instead of me having to get up early, and them staying at work late, we decided I could call in the evening when I'm still wide awake, and they're on their normal work hours in the morning. And it turns out the team leader here is a bit of a night owl, so it worked out for her too.

Of course I have an 8am meeting tomorrow with that same guy in India. I will have hung around the house for a couple more hours, got a night's sleep, and (hopefully) gotten up and showered, and he'll still be at work.
