Now, I'm OK...

this fine thursday,

well, now it's fine...

this morning was traumatic.

i even shed a little tear!

i don't know

whether i was making a mountain out of a molehill,

or

it was really a storm in a teacup

{i love the picture in my head that saying creates

so i just had to add it in to our conversation}

but

my new spectacles are so far

a spectacular failure.

they are meant to be multifocussed.

well, in my books

that just means

i can only focus on one thing at a time

or

everything else is blurry,

no clear peripheral vision!

just unending tunnel vision!

so

i have pestered the nice ladies

at the optometrists twice since yesterday.

i said (very politely) to this morning's lovely lady

that i would actually love to

throw this piece of very expensive junk,

{masquerading as a pair of glasses}

at someone.

{preferably the optometrist...

who did not warn me of this calamity!}

lo and behold!

music to my ears,

she says,

if they don't work out in a fortnight;

they can replace them

{perhaps with two pairs}.

that brought peace to my heart again,

{where there was despairing}

'cos there is light at the end of my tunnel vision

and my familiar little world will be sustained.

so

i am doing my best

and trying the new ones for a while.

thank goodness

for escape clauses!

here is cushion no 3.

i love these long legged beauties,

posing and leaping with grace!

jazzing up this little pillow,

bringing a smile to shazzie's face.

this is another disasterous project

that has a happy ending.

i cut the big bits out and then the edges weren't straight!

so i shaved a bit off here and there...

and then had to add some spots back in!

but now,

i have decided that the spots

make it pop!

that, dear readers...

is the end

of

my

"tale of three cushions"

tomorrow i have another story.

thanks for lending me

your shoulder to cry on today,

friends!
