No chains, beaded or otherwise, yet. It sucks, I know. I've always had perfect vision and it's just so demoralizing to have to hold a menu six feet from your face, plus then there's the light issue (no, I can no longer read a menu with nothing but one votive candle for illumination!) I kind of want real glasses because I figure they obscure the bags and wrinkles a little.... And, um, Steph, I hope you don't hate me for this, but I'm pretty sure you wrote classes for glasses somewhere in your post--unless it's my crappy eyesight that's responsible.

I'm waiting for my insurance to get the effing glasses. Never needed glasses before in my life. It sucks! We’re the same age and at the same point.

While still being so nearsighted I need regular glasses for everythign else? WTF?? Thus far, this is the part of aging I hate most. But I'm sure that's soon to be replaced by many more heinous aspects of becoming nearer my God to thee....
