Relocation, Relocation

Yesterday the second of three companies came and took notes, asked for power of attorney for our belongings and left, totally different from the first guy who arrived with his clipboard waved his hand said no bother and left.  The power of attorney bit was a little unsettling and I could see My Beloved twitching, you also have to understand we have no destination as yet and no moving date so this is all a little hypothetical.

The neighbours are back, MTV full blast yesterday morning just to drown them out, obviously Viv the vixen had a lot to say having been away the best part of three weeks, but does she have to do it at decibels high enough to shatter glass.

I left MTV blaring and headed for the gym, after sweating on the bike for 40 mins I felt a little less stressed and headed back to the apartment for my shower, then My Beloved and the German relocation guy arrived and then it was time to kick some ass, not mine you understand but the opticians.

Yesterday I collected my new glasses, I just knew I should have waited till we were in the UK and seen the lovely girls in Turriff, when I collected my new varifocals I told the woman I can't see out of these glasses, to be told that I need to wear them for a while to get used to them, this I understood as I already have varifocals and actually do know how to wear them and use them, what I didn't understand was how I was going to be able to see through a lense that was not set right and waaaay to strong for my eyes. But I did as I was told and took them away with me, wearing them through the streets of Herzliya and then I drove into Tel Aviv, what the hell........ that was one awkward drive and the fact that I couldn't even read the speed on the dashboard told me there was something a little off with the new prescription.  By the time I had walked up Carmel market and back again I was beginning to feel nauseous, I couldn't see the floor unless I bent double in the middle and even trying to see in the distance was difficult as I was having to keep my chin on my chest to align my eyes to the correct distance lense.

So I took them back, I had actually figured out how I was supposed to wear them by this time, tilted with the feet half way up to the top of my scalp and the glasses pointing to the floor, bonny......

I took My Beloved with me for back up, this didn't help much as he remembered he had left his phone at home or so he thought and panic set it in, he left me..... I was taken in retested and jiggled and joustled and then told they would make new lenses for me, they also tested my old glasses the ones I told them I had perfect vision with, but the worst was to come I was asked to stand to get measured and the guy took my head and tilted it down, I promptly told him that is not where my head sits in space, and tilted it back to where it belongs, why the hell would you measure glasses when a person is in a position alien to their normal stance, yes my head tilts back when I am standing, my chin juts out a little, but don't adjust me and presume all will be well, I have neck issues to prove this will never work thank you very much.  

So now we wait for the new glasses anticipating the worst and praying for the best...
