Having glasses that allow you good sight is a treat. I really learned that after a week of using my old lenses and another week with the wrong glasses. (Tip: Don’t listen to young sellers, just be sure what you want.) Now I have the right glasses and my eyes will need a little more time to adjust to them, but so far it’s better than anything since the accident

And the other thing I miss is my car. I don’t like to depend on public transportation. Sure, being able to doze for the trip while listening to music or reading a book is nice. But stressing to catch a bus which drives every half an hour during daytime and only every hour at night can be annoying. Not to mention the walks through the rain. I wonder how I did that when I was younger. Getting a drivers license and a car must’ve really softened me. I’m such a sissy.

Anything else? Oh yes, the time. Everything involving transportation takes more time and/or stress. But time has always been a problem lately… well, for quite a while.

Okay, enough for today.

Hmm… inski just expressed her joy to have a tv again. I dunno… is being able to partake in the common media-crap really that great? Well, after months maybe.

So, the hack I am, I try new arty things all the time. Last week, for example, I had a spontaneous gig. I did something which could be called automobile dancing or car tumbling. It was some kind of performance art. I jumped down 3 meters (10 ft.) onto an acre, did a few somersaults and pirouettes and landed on my wheels. People came rushing from all over the vicinage to cheer for me. The result of this performance is now being exhibit at the local junkyard. But I have to admit, that it was a bit clumsy and rough for the first time. I’ll try doing it better the next time.

Epilogue: Yes, I’m fine, no worries, just a few scratches (my guardian angel excelled her-/himself). As for the car… totally f*cked up. Luckily no one else was involved and I’ve been driving alone. I don’t want to imagine what would’ve happened, if my usual co-driver would’ve been in the car as well. The police let me take off lightly as well. But this now takes a few things of my mind, like scheduling the next vehicle inspection, switching my car insurance, what to do with all the money I’ve been saving up or whether I should get new glasses. And no, I don’t really plan on doing that again.
