issenlloHas been more than a month since I updated. Well. Since then, in reverse chronological order, I:
1. realised that I'd have to write a fic to qualify for Yuletide because I messed up on the last one.
2. finally got reading glasses, and I'm still amazed. I had not realised how much reading/writing/knitting I was giving up because my eyes got tired of focusing on small print, so I watched dramas instead. The optometrist I consulted previously had insisted that since my presbiopia wasn't serious, I didn't need any prescription glasses. Everyone around suggested that I didn't need it, either, as though squinting over the tops of my usual glasses was just a minor inconvenience. (It really wasn't). The optometrist this time round suggested it as a way to get me to buy into their sale promotion (or so it felt like to me). Result: I really should have done this earlier.
3. bought a fountain pen. Then another. And another. Then I had sit on myself and stop. But not before having bought four bottles of ink.
4. visited Phuket. Shocking, I know. It's such a popular holiday spot and so quick to get to from where I am, it's weird that I'd never been. It's... nice? Touristy? Not really at the top of my travel list, though.
