i went to get the first eye exam i've had in six years so i could finally get my prescription updated (i'm a 24/7 eyeglass wearer and have been since i was 5 lol) and the clinic under my insurance was a literal five minute walk from my office so i was like. sweet! i'll schedule it during work hours so i can duck out for 30m, go get my eyes checked, and be back for afternoon meetings. all goes according to plan until the technician suddenly has me tilting my head back and she's got dilation drops in my eyes before i can so much as say "uh is that necessary bc i'm still supposed to be working for the next four and a half hours actually"

like whoops! sorry i was trying to be efficient but maybe i should have just scheduled it on a day off instead lmao. i had to take the rest of the day off bc i couldnt fucking read or see that well and the office lights were giving me an intense headache. made it home in one piece but i've been like. sitting in my apt with my prescription sunglasses very thankful today is a cloudy day. i can at least read things now sort of???

#liveblogging life #felt very stupid when i went to tell my boss i had to go home lmao #like i COMPLETELY forgot they do eye dilation at like regular check-ups tbh #it's been so long since i had one and the last time i did they didn't dilate my eyes at all #from what i remember it's like an e/o time thing?#and yeah now that i think about it ofc they'd do it this time since it was my first appt with them aksfjasjf #my boss was even like: oh yeah i thought that might happen when you said where you were going!#me: why didnt you TELL ME! i would've rescheduled the stupid thing!#mostly frustrating bc i have actual things i need to do today and now i basically have to wait until tomorrow #also is there anything more embarrassing than exposing how fucking weak your eyes are akfaskjf #my left eye is much weaker than my right and going through the lens test with that one was brutal #technician: can you read this row? me for the fourth time: um. no sorry #they also clocked that my vision has never been 20/20 in that eye AND that i had to wear an eye patch when i was a kid. wild.#also. apparently my pupils were not the same size?????? the technician asked it in such an odd way #her: has anyone ever told you your pupils arent the same size? me: uh? no????
