Today, I actually went out and had a little bit of a life.
I didn't wake up ill for once, I actually slept in my own bed until 1pm. Kinda lazy, but tbh, it's a little bit of a breakthrough for me. I even knew I had something potentially nerve-wracking to go to too, but.. Luckily, I wasn't even ill in the slightest.
I went to our local town, the one that contains all of the essential shops we don't have in my small town, aka clothes shops and big supermarkets. Me and my mother wandered around for a bit and then headed off to the opticians, the main reason for this trip. I haven't had an eye test in two years, so we came to check my prescription and arrange an appointment to try contact lenses again.
I mean, I would still have contact lenses today, if my mother wasn't rushing me to put them in. I only managed to get my left contact in easily, but the right one would take 10-15 minutes.. And with my mother's patience, I only got to wear them a few times properly before she got annoyed at me with them for taking too long to put in. I tried to get used to them, but having something in my eye for the first time in my life, after having glasses from age 3... It's nerve-wracking!
After having a dizzying eye test, it was found out my prescription has gotten worse. It's not too much of a big deal, as can still possibly get my contacts, but it annoys me to see that after years of slight improvement, it's gotten worse again. I can still remember being a -9.0 in one eye and a -8.5 in the other, but now I've wavered and I'm at 6.25/6.5 in my eyes, it's annoying.
Even though they seem scarier than contacts, I like looking at circle lenses. But looking at some nice patterns, I've discovered they don't do many 6.25 circle lenses, only 6.00 and 6.50 lenses. I couldn't have prescription ones even if I wanted, urgh.
After I had my test, I went to eat at the supermarket, but after being disturbed by screaming babies and alarms, me and my mother quickly scampered off to the clothes and toys section. There, my Mum discovered a new Donald Duck plush I didn't have, so I quickly snapped him up. He's my smallest Donald, and his legs are a little more 'yellow' than they usually are, but he was £3.99, so I'm not complaining.
I also bought some cute blouses, one in pink, and one in white. I picked the smallest size, a size 8 to try, but when I tried it on in the changing room, it was too big around the bust, shoulders, sleeves and waist. But they were only £8 each, so I bought them anyway, I don't care. Hopefully I'll grow into them, or they'll shrink to fit me... I hope. I just wish they had a size 6 to try, but since they never expect people to be almost-anorexic in Sainsbury's, of course they wouldn't.
So now I'm back home. I'm a little pooped, but in all, I'm in better spirits than I was yesterday. I spent some money, and even though I feel like I should be saving, it wasn't too much I spent. I just hope with this sort-of.. Health(?), I can get back to doing what I normally could. I'm seeing an old-time friend on the 24th, my first crush, so maybe we can catch up over these last few years.
I kept having daydreams again, about when me and my close friend were in my town, doing DDR, cheap Purikura and singing along to our favourite songs. I hope I get to do those things again with her soon, as the weather seems to be cheering up too, and maybe more, now that the tugboats, mini-amusement park and play park are properly open.
Let's hope, 'ay?
