it was a spectacle

I need glasses. Well, I already own glasses but tend to wear them only when at the cinema. It's three years {I think} since I had my eyes tested and they are definitely getting worse. Long-sighted in one eye and short-sighted in the other, I am. I couldn't tell you which is which though. You know those electronic digital signs at bus stops, the ones which tell you when the next bus is due? I can't see them anymore. The bright orange of the wordage blends into one, blurring into a long orange rectangle in which I can vaguely make out the shape of an occasional letter or number. It's worse in the mornings, as if my eyes need time to wake up and adjust to the world around them. I've been suffering from headaches all week, but I wonder if this is all actually due to tiredness and exhaustion. It's nearly the end of term, and it has been a LONG term. We break up on Tuesday next week and are due back on the second. I plan on indulging in lots of sleep in the hope that eyesight will be returned to some sense of normalcy, and headaches will stop. Or, I could just wear my glasses more often!
