oh how I love my new eyes. Well, not really my new eyes but the freedom from glasses. I was working in the freezer the other day putting the bread away from grocery day on Wednesday. We like to leave the bread in the box to freeze for a day or two so that they freeze in the right way and are easier to stack since when you stack fresh thawed bread in a freezer the lower ones get crushed and when they do freeze they end up really flat and are useless for sandwiches. So there I was in the cold freezer putting bread away for about 15 minutes and then I walked out of the freezer to put the empty boxes in the garbage area. I sensed trouble when I stepped out and I felt the wave of moist air hit me in the face since the 1st cook was boiling water in the big steam kettle for pasta. The entire back area felt like a sauna and you could see the mist forming on the ceiling and the water dripping down the walls. Anyone with glasses knows that you come from a frozen area like a freezer or outside in the winter to a warm/moist house you are blind for however long it takes you to either slid your glasses down your nose and look over the rims to walk or the moisture subsides and you defog. This was the first time I walked out, stopped to wait for my vision to clear and found that I was instantly able to see where I was walking. My arms were full of flat boxes and I didnt have to stumble around in the back room while my co-workers laughed at me cause my vision was gone.
Oh the freedom and joy of having good vision. Granted, was still a hellish experience (at least to me) to get them this way but ohhh, how I am enjoying the wonderful things that I am experiencing.
Wonder if this is what it is like for women and childbirth?
