Optician: new glasses or not?


First books! Before I start with the difficult stuff. Finished king, C.L. Wilson has done it again!!! And I don't want to wait till june to read the next book, snif! That is the downside of reading series when they come out, the waiting! And some authors make you wait for years. :) Ah well I prefer it to those who write too much too fast and the quality goes down.
I am going to start a book by a new author [for me] vampires' seduction. Next to my study books I really prefer light reading at the moment. No literature or anything. Just fun! Hopefully this is a keeper and of course it's a whole series again!

Wednesday I went to the optician. The good news, my glasses are slightly off and that could influence the headaches and that is something they can do something about. There is also a new technique that could help with my problem of seeing hazy in bad light. But of course it is going to cost! The optician recomeded varifocus glasses. I am at an age were I just need reading glasses. And these combine the two. But they are very expensive and I am only going to get a third back from taxes. And I have always said that this is something I cannot get used to. My mother still uses reading glasses next to these varifocus glasses. But two seperate glasses are not going to be much cheaper. So I really don't know what to do. And it is a lot of money I had not calculated on at the moment. When I start the practice I don't know how much money is coming in and I don't want to spend all my savings. On the other hand if it helps with the headaches it will enable me to do my work better. So there is a dillemma, Do I get new glasses? I probably will. But if I get them what do I get. Right now I really don't have the anwser to that question.

Sixth holiday blog

We are coming to the end of my holiday. Friday was the last day of sightseeing and we had selected Porthsmouth. Again not too far a drive from Winchester. Here you can see two great historic ships. The first is HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar. Last time I was here you went in with a guided tour, now it was selfguided. And I remem bered correctly how hard it is on us who are a bit taller. With 1.84 it is not fun. And the poor captain of the boat was 1.93. While would anyone of that length want to enter the navy of that time is beyond me. We all enjoyed the tour very much and after this one we went to the Mary Rose museum. She is a Tudor royal ship, named after Henry VIII's favorite sister. There is about half of the ship left and it is still being sprayed with a solution to save her. Amazing that it sunk almost 500 years ago. This year in September she will be dry and then they will preserve her and build a new museum that will open in 2012. I do want to come bac

Flow!

Image
Flow is a wonderfull thing, it makes you creative and you want to keep going and going without ever stopping what you are doing. But.... if you are a chronic sufferer like me, it has it's drawbacks. I function very well if I take many a n to my practice in fact. It came to me last week. I don't have my own space for sessions so I have to rent. I like to communicate with people all over the world and already want to work with people from foreign countries who live in the Netherlands. Why not branch out to internet coaching? And use modern techniques as voice and video on the computer. I could then branch out to people who are thinking about moving and give them advice. And even do regular counseling/coaching for people who find it hard to come to my location. nd long breaks throughout the day. And well that kinda breaks the flow. finding my way in this process has taken me a long time. And I am there now, most of the time. This week I found it very difficult to stop in time, bef

Dutch drivers

Image
There are days that I hate Dutch drivers! I had to take my dad to the hospital this morning for a check-up and of course it as during rush hour. In town I have to cross a point were it is almost impossible to get on the road at that hour because nobody will let you in. So I avoided this point by taking a detour and ended up there on the right road. Now I was thinking about the other people who have trouble merging in. And I let one car in what all the cars ahead of me didn't do. But then the other cars waiting pushed their way in in front of me. And that makes me mad!!!! you try to help and then they take advantage of you. Not good! At the hospital which we made with minutes to spare we found out that the doctor had been stuck in traffic and there was a 45 minutes delay. Grrrrrr not a nice morning. Started a new book this morning when I got home. romantic historical novel set in the time of Charles I. It is a new writer for me, so it is wait and see. I like a good story in my roma
