Al and Joe, Henry and Ro

I just made optometrist and dermatologist appointments [yay insurance!] and realized that this means I’ll soon be able to actually see the skin that I’m trying to fix. Womp womp.

Also, I haven’t been to the eye doctor in eight years. The last time I went, they dilated my eyes twice and I couldn’t see clearly for over twenty-four hours, during which time I made my mom drive me all over Charlotte to Christmas shop. I bought my then roommate earrings so ugly even 2007 Britney Spears would have shuddered. 

You see, I avoid the eye doctor like the Bubonic Plague because I hated wearing glasses as a child—why my mom let me choose pastel pink glasses with lenses the size of a personal pan pizza, I will never understand. I even memorized all of the things I was supposed to be seeing on the eye test cards [star, cat, car, the number 76] so that I wouldn’t have to wear glasses anymore. There was no Warby Parker hipster glasses movement in 1991, okay? There was no Baby Ali on national television.

I’m still terrified.
