TN Confessional: I shop based on font size

in Life on 07/05/16 by Guest Contributor 3 Comments

There are times when I feel like this is my new reality:

I wear glasses/contacts – not at the same time, geesh – it’s not that bad….. yet. But I am asking you to join my coalition to pressure packaging companies to increase FONT SIZE.  It feels unfair that I should be forced to put in my contacts prior to morning coffee.

So when I get in the shower, I have to ask, how the hell can anyone read these labels?

I have “washed” my hair with conditioner more times than I will admit. Who can read this??? The shower is a hazard to my family & fellow workers.  I have pseudo shaved my legs with a razor still sporting the plastic cap – cuz who is gonna run their fingers across the blades, to be sure?  Maybe I should just ask this guy to make house calls.

I have allergies, the kind where pieces of cement get into my eyes and unless I can remove my eyeballs to scratch them – I am forced to use these horrible eye drops.  Wanna read these directions for me…..without my contacts???

BTW – these are the most stingey eye drops ever made – EVER.
Getting dressed post-eye drops, pre-contacts is my fear landscape.  I have my morning routine down to seconds…..so the days I need to wait 15 minutes after the eye stabbing, can be treacherous territory, to be sure.
When I get home, I take off my day face and use “old school” Ponds cold cream – scoop out a blob, coat my face and stop to think, “Hmmmmm, do I tissue this off or use water & wash cloth?”
Wait for it……

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
And maybe it’s just me, but if you’re a distracted housecleaning kinda gal, it’s likely possible these could look the same

Yep, I dusted with Goo-Gone, took the varnish right off my coffee table.  Now it’s worth twice as much and currently featured on “Fixer Upper” as a farm style table.
So I gave up dusting – fail.
 I decided I would sew, crafting tartan wear for my upcoming trip to Scotland. But….

Would someone please drop by my house and thread this needle?
 Wait, lemma just put my contacts in – uhhhh is there a lens in that case?
 The eye doctor told me the stronger the lens RX, the less manufacturers use tint?  I felt like he was punking me – so the more blind, the less visible the lens….FACT.

This is my answer to that logic:

 I just don’t feel ready for a white cane. I blame the labeling industry for making me resort to having a Sharpie permanent marker on my person at all times – to graffiti products in a readable

font size

I’ve put on black tights with a blue dress, for a business meeting, not the worst fashion mistake I have ever made.  I did have to claim I was a hipster, when everyone knows I am a Hippie  *grabs hula-hoop & hackeysack*

So who will stand with me, waving glasses prescriptions & unreadable shampoo bottles? We can start a revolution, as soon as these eye drops wear off I’ll make some posters.
