Daily minutiae

I'm posting this from bed, where I'm very happy to finally be.

I had an optometrist's appointment after work today, and I'm trying a new kind of contact lens. The previous lenses I had were a lot of hassle, not to wear but to clean and care for and put in. So I almost never wore them. These seem like they're going to be a lot better. I also ordered a new pair of glasses.

I also got some braces to hold the Ikea shelves together. They're not the Right Thing^TM, but they'll do for now and they let me put things on the shelves. I've only got three shelves on the first shelving unit (of two) so far and already it makes the room feel much less crowded and more usable.

Now that I've bored you all to sleep, time for me to sleep as well. Night-night!

Back when me kiddo was a wee one and prone to climbing, I anchored my shelves to the wall. It was amazing how much it stabilized them. Anything from anchoring directly through holes in the support legs (for metal shelves), to a bit of strong wire attached somehow to the shelves and tied to a few wall anchors.
