Migraines, vision, and insurance. Ugh.

kryptariaWelcome to the US, where even retired military/dependents get shitty health insurance.
I get an eye exam every two years, and my two years isn't up until mid-May. For the last couple of weeks, I get migraines if I use my laptop or computer for more than a few minutes, though it doesn't happen with my Kindle Oasis. My glasses (which are prescribed for distance) make things worse, not better.
So my choices are, pay $70 out of pocket for an eye exam or go to my primary care physician and get a referral for an emergency exam. Naturally my primary care physician doesn't have any open appointments until February, though I *might* be able to get up at 6:30 a.m. and call for a 24-hour emergency appointment (apparently they may have a slot open for Thursday).
Anyway, that's the latest writing disaster.
I've also just finished up my third dog bath in under a week, and my back is killing me. Never again!
On the other hand, isn't he just gorgeous?
