I can see clearly now...

Yesterday marked a new phrase in my life - after a lengthy doctors appointment and an even longer opticians appointment I may finally have the answer to all the headaches I have been having recently - after discovering just how blurred my one good eye is (I have a congenital cataract in my right eye) I am now a glasses wearer (well I be next Thursday when they arrive in Boots). To start with I only have to wear them for reading, blogging and using my phone. I have to admit that although I'm excited about wearing glasses - i've wanted them since I was about 5 years ago - I 'm also a little nervous. I don't know how I will feel wearing them, how long it will take for me to get used to them being on my face and (vainly) how I'm going to look wearing them.  

Does anyone have any tips for a newbie glasses wearer?

Fingers crossed next Thursday marks the end of these nasty headaches and the start of a clearer future.

Headache hell

For those of you that follow me on twitter you will know that I have spent the last 3 weeks being plagued with daily headaches. I have no idea where they have come from, and I am off to register with my local doctor later today to try and get to the bottom of it. In the meantime I have tried everything to try and help myself - I'm getting plenty of sleep, drinking lots of water, trying to relax as much as possible when i'm not working and eating pretty regular meals, however so far nothing at all has worked. Last night I tried taking some Kalms which worked a little bit, but not so much that I haven't woken up with a headache this morning.

Do any of you guys have any advice/ideas I can try??
