I was walking down the street to buy lunch when I caught a reflection of myself in a storefront mirror, all puffy marshmallow face and all. I was a bit pissed because I am eight days into Cocktail-free February™ with a total of ten sober since I actually cut myself off after last Monday, and as yet, there are no noticeable changes. I knew this going in, and I shouldn't hold out hope for a miracle, but it just irritated me a touch.
My sleeping habits are about the same. I'm still peeing three or four times at night. My mind must still be in the same pattern it is on regular weekdays because I beat it home Monday and Tuesday, foregoing the gym. I guess I may have been a little more sprightly on Monday than usual though. I had an optometrist appointment, and the doctor noted that my eyes looked good. Had I been on a bender that weekend, they would likely have been a bit reddened.
He actually made me laugh a bit because when I mentioned how this new generation of contact lenses I had still wasn't sharp enough, he mentioned that I was getting older, and that could be a symptom of it. I'm noticing it increasingly more, especially with my high blood pressure, and how I get winded so much more easily.
We shall just keep plugging away, and I'll try not to get too dismayed. It's still not been so bad, really. It has certainly helped having my credit card debt wiped away, and that situation on track. And I have Monday off, and earmarked to see "Star Wars: Rogue One." 5

Hey! I'm glad to hear you are foregoing the cocktails this month. I should follow your lead! Anyways, my sister has similar issues with her vision not being sharp enough. She's tried several different contact lenses and none have seemed to help. Her optometrist said the same thing about her getting older and her vision being affected by age.
