I had two different medical appointments yesterday, the first mid-morning at Virginia Mason for my cyst removal surgery consultation; the second for my biannual eye exam. That one was at 5:00, and I left the office at 4:25, caught Light Rail at Symphony Station, and was pulling up at Northgate Station just a couple minutes before 5:00. The location of that station and the size of Northgate Mall can make distances deceiving, though—it's nearly a half-mile walk to the LensCrafters store from the actual station, which sits parallel to the parking lot south of the mall. I got to LensCrafters at maybe 5:06 or 5:07, but it still worked out fine.
There were two young women working the front desk at the eye doctor's office past the LensCrafters store, and they both had beautiful eyes. On the flip side, the eye doctor I saw was a woman I had not seen there before, and she was the first actual eye doctor to compliment my eye makeup. I happened to be wearing my blue mascara yesterday and she was apparently impressed with it. She said, "I've tried a purple mascara but it doesn't make my eyes pop the way yours do."
I'm a little concerned about the new prescription she gave me, though. I'm not sure if the issue is the prescription, or the "low" vs "medium" intensity choices she gave me to try regarding the multifocal lenses, or the fact that they are daily contacts rather than the monthly ones that I am used to. She did lower my prescription, though, and I fear that may be the problem. I wore a sample pair she gave me on the way home, and everything seemed slightly less clear than normal. I thought maybe using the "medium" intensity lenses today instead would make a difference, but it did not. Thankfully I still had the contact lenses I had worn to the store last night in the temporary case they gave me for them in my backpack. The lack of clarity was bothering me too much this morning at work so I went to the bathroom and switched back to the old, monthly pair from my last prescription—and everything looks way better. So I don't know if I'll need to return to the eye doctor or what, but I'm wary of just ordering a year's supply of this new prescription without talking to them again.

It was 6:00 when I left the eye doctor. It was somewhere close to 6:40 when I got home; this included the walk from the eye doctor to Northgate Station, and the half-mile walk from Capitol Hill Station to home. Shobhit was out at a rehearsal when I got home. I made myself a frozen naan pizza, baked in the oven, for dinner. It was delicious. I don't get to have those pizzas as often as I used to, but just bought one when we recently needed to get to $75 at PCC to use a $15 off $75 coupon.
Shobhit had the last of an eggplant dish for dinner when he got home. We watched the season finale of
The Lowdown, the Sterlin Harjo show on Hulu that was great.
Abbott Elementary was not available, which was mystifying as I could swear it has been available on Wednesdays untl now. Either I'm just wrong or I'm going crazy. Whatever, we'll watch it tonight.
That's about all the news that's fit to print though, I think.
