Eyesight Woes

Today I picked up my shiny new glasses. I’ve been wearing them for about 2 hours and I’m having a little difficulty adjusting to the new prescription. I’m getting this weird bendy distortion at the sides, particularly on the left lens. Googling the problem reveals that either a) it’s normal and my eyes will adjust or b) my prescription has been made up wrong and I need to go back and get it fixed. I’m worried about it being the latter as the effect can be associated with wrongly corrected astigmatism – which I do have, but in the other eye.

I only got one wall done with the first coat. I know that doesn’t seem much, but I had to move all the furniture across to the other side of the room first. It’s not a big room, but there’s plenty of stuff in it and I had to keep juggling where things went lol. Anyway, I’m not too happy with the colour at the moment – it’s magnolia and, compared to the deep peach it’s going over, it looks a bit cold.
