This is only slightly related to travel, but how about that fortune cookie post, huh?! Was that related?? No. Next week I am going to see the Lasik doctor. I like to think that I am getting inspected, and as long as they don’t call me funny looking, I’m in. I’ve been waiting all year, since about January 20th, to get this done, and it’s only because of the FSA money that I’ll save that I haven’t done it yet. Over the course of a lifetime, Lasik is not “cost effective”. I mean, if I live 70 more years, I will never spend as much in my lifetime on contacts and glasses and eye doctors as I will on this one procedure. But there are so many perks that this luxury is totally worth it.
I want to wake up in the morning and see the clock. And in thinking about my upcoming trips, I want to not have to pack contacts and solution. I want to not worry about losing glasses or contacts and running around blind for a week. I want to swim and scuba and not worry about losing a contact. And most of all, I want this scratch right in the center of my current glasses to be gone, and I never want to hassle with another one! I can’t wait. I will be in the office having it done January 2nd, hopefully!
