Because we're dorks and worriers and in a transition that might mean lower quality health insurance at a higher price, B and I went to get our eyes examined today. He went a few years ago, but I don't think I've been since childhood. Because I have some anxiety about medical stuff, I assumed I would find out that my vision, like so many minor things seems to be doing these days, is fading. So I was pretty happy when I found out that I have perfect vision. Not just 20/20, but perfect pressure, perfect blood vessels, perfect eyes. The doctor actually said to me, "if all my patients had your eyes, I'd be out of business." I may have blushed.
You can decide if it's cute or pathetic that I'm excited about my perfect vision, or my need to have my vision even MORE perfect than my husband's (apparently he's got great vision too - blah, blah). I think it says a lot about where I "am" right now and my need for things to go well, even things as minor (though quite important) as my vision. It just feels nice to have an easy win, one that I didn't have to work for, and one that I have no control over. If only health insurance covered more frequent visits to the eye doctor when you don't have a problem.
I'm going to go try to shut my perfect eyes. And turn off the rest of me too so I can stop making mental lists to fix all the not perfect things, at least for a few hours. Here's hoping for more easy wins for you and me tomorrow.
