Ugh...

I was living in nightmare last night. I've said it before, that my eyes are so bad that without glasses/contacts, I'm close to blind.

I'm not going to get into all the details. I was so distraught, I didn't know what to do or how to get home. I'm blind and I don't know where my phone is. I was sitting at Denny's drinking coffee, because everywhere else was closed, thinking, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing here....

The non-emergency number got me nowhere. So I had to call 911.

Before he even said a word to me, the officer gave me back my glasses. Why/how I lost my glasses, not gonna say that. It's personal, even for the 'Sink where I'm never ashamed to share life stuff. I kinda wish I could chalk it up to a drunk story from a holiday or birthday but that's not what happened. I was stone cold sober.

I've been on the wrong side of a "game" of Russian Roulette and then I was less afraid than a situation where my vision is so compromised, what I see can barely be described as vision....

If you bake bread, a Bread Proofing feature is fantastic.

And a dehydrate feature is nice too; I use it to dehydrate spinach for lasagna.

Maybe get some bloodwork done to make sure isn't Diabetes?

Confusion can be a symptom of both low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in diabetes. It's a sign that blood sugar levels are too high or too low, affecting the brain's ability to function properly.

losing your glasses is very scary, I've taken to carrying contacts as spare glasses when I travel. I should probaly put a pair in the truck.

oh you're hanging out with the glazier guy?!?!

You know I may have a window or two to repair right... once again I wonder what to do if I should try alone. Old windows, hangers broken.

I'm still a bit shaken up this morning thinking about all the ways last night could have gone very differently, in the wrong way.

I called the police department this morning to give a super great review of what happened and how the officer helped me.

It's "typical" for people to call the PD to complain about what any officer did wrong so I assume it's rare for someone to call to report what an officer did right. That dude probably literally saved my life and that's not an exaggeration.

Also after this, I'm keeping my spare glasses on me. They are about half the strength of my main glasses, the highest prescription I could find at the pharmacy but it's better than nothing.

Other than going to sleep, the only time I take my glasses off is having a heart to heart conversation with a friend/family. Maybe that's weird but I feel like if I can't really see you, I'm intently and focused listening to everything you're saying. Maybe that doesn't make sense but it does to me because the only friend I know with worse vision than me is legally blind.
