Friday was crazy. I got my new progressive eye glasses and adjusting to them is like being on a boat. (FYI- I am prone to seasickness) Then we had storms roll through and multiple tornadoes impacted the area, causing widespread damage. Aside from ending up in lockdown at the school for an hour when I went to pick the grandkids, we only lost tree branches. My daughter, a pharmacist at Walgreens, was also on lockdown. They had a tornado pass across the street. While the church, (across the street from her building) remained untouched, the home next to was completely demolished. Hello Spring. Eep! Stay Caffeinated.

I have never come close to experiencing a tornado and I hope I never do. I can’t imagine what it must be like. I’m glad it you and your family are safe!
Meezan
There’s no other weather phenomenon that scares me more than tornadoes. This is why this time of year isn’t my favorite. I’m not a fan of thunderstorms either. I hope you can get used to the glasses. I know what you mean about how the progressives feel. Take care!
Katherine
Glad you didn’t have much damage! My husband had the same issue with his glasses but seems to have adjusted now. Fingers crossed you do too very soon to avoid the seasickness! Have a great week!
Mary Kirkland
I saw some of the tornado footage and that would have been so scary. Glad everyone is alright.
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
I’m really glad to hear you are safe!
Wishing you a wonderful reading week
Aj @ Read All The Things!
It sounds like you had a wild week. I’m glad you’re safe! I got new glasses too, so I can relate to the seasick feeling. I’ve had it for a few days now.
Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I’ve been reading about those tornadoes. So glad you guys were safe.
Vidya
glad the tornadoes didn’t cause too much damage and hope that there was no in that house that did get demolished because of..
Anne - Books of My Heart
I was worried about you with the storms. So glad you are ok. I dread the thought of glasses – I don’t need them except for reading sometimes.
Melliane
Some interesting new books there! Happy reading!
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
Progressives are tough for me too! I still just use readers. So happy you didn’t have any major damage and no one was hurt with the tornados! So scary!
Cindy's Book Corner
Yikes, tornadoes are scary! Glad you all didn’t have major damage. Have a great week!
Jan Farnworth
Ohh another audiobook challenhe that sounds fun. I live in Washington so tornadoes are not common once in a while we get a small tremor from
An earthquake but mainly it pretty calm. I be worried about flooding since we can get a lot of rain. Have a great week.
Sophie
Wow tornadoes! The chruch was really protected by God or what invisible forces! We don’t have (many) tornadoes here but I would be so afraid! It’s a good thing no one among you was hurt! Also congrats, you made me order Heaven Breaker (and I even ordered the Deluxe edition) LOL
sjhigbee
Urg! How absolutely terrifying… Let’s hope you don’t get any more tornados of that strength coming through this spring!
I really like your glasses – they look great. But I know what you mean about getting used to them. Have a more peaceful week, Kimberly.
Lisa R. Howeler
One reason I am pushing off the bifocals so long is because I have vertigo issues and sea sickness as well. I don’t think I’ll be able to push it off after my next visit though.
Those storms are scary! I hope you can stay safe.
LORI CASWELL
The hazardous storms missed us this time. I am so sorry they hit near you. Stay safe!
Debi O'Neille
That’s a beautiful visual that the church remained untouched, but it’s sad for the house owners losing their house next door. Thanks for sharing.
Victoria Hamel
I hope this week with the progressives is better, and that the weather is tornado free. I’m glad you are OK and I hope everyone in your town is OK.
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
They had us in Kansas City prepared for the tornadoes and all we got was torrential rain and of course all the local tv channels concentrating on the tornadoes nowhere near KC. But I guess that makes us lucky this time around! Glad to hear you and your family made it through okay! My glasses are progressive and I no longer wear them anytime other than right at bedtime, don’t lounge around on the weekends with them before putting in contacts anymore. I think my being prone to vertigo was made worse when I was wearing them for longer times. My contacts are still just single vision? Don’t know if that’s the correct term. But I’m going to continue to fight having them changed and I’ll just bring reading glasses, lol. Hope you have a good week!
Jinjer
I never could get used to the progressives. I went from those to one pair for distance, one pair for reading, and a third pair for something else. This last time I got bifocals and I hate them. Unless I hold them in one specific spot with my hand, they are not spot on. I don’t know if it’s because I have really bad astigmatism or what, but I just can’t get the right glasses. I finally got tired of it and gave up and just deal. BUT recently I found out I can’t go into a shop and look around at stuff the way that the glasses currently are, so I’m going to have to get some kind of adjustment. Sigh.
Hopefully you have an easier time adjusting to yours than that!!!! Good luck!

It just took me a few days to get used to my progressive lenses and now I love them. I do get seasick/carsick too. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Stormi
I am glad you only had a few branches down! Missouri had some nasty stuff to but most of it went around us. This is the only thing I hate about Spring.
aimee can read
Oh no! I hope you and your family are all safe, Kim. 🙁 <3 Adjusting to new glasses is always the worst… which is why I haven't had my eyes checked in a while, even though I know my sight has probably gotten worse from the last time. 😅 I hope the next week is much better and safer for you all!
Sophia Rose
Well, that was an exciting week for you! Not that I want anyone else dealing with tornado damage, but glad you and yours made it through safe and sound. Progressives made me whoozy for a few days, too. Ugh!
Have a good week, Kimberly!
Jodie @ That Happy Reader
Wow that sounds like a nasty weather week! I’m glad you are all safe. I hope you have a safe and happy week ahead!
Emily @ Budget Tales Book Blog
How scary. I just can’t imagine what you all must feel when those weather events happen.
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Yeah this is why I hate this time of year. I get such storm anxiety! Luckily we just had some strong winds and such. It was the last two weeks we had all the tornado warnings! Glad you and your family all came out okay!
Nice new reads! These are all new to me ones! I hope you enjoy each and every one of them once you get to read them!
Here’s my StS

Storms I can handle, even huricanes, but tornadoes scare the ever living shit out of me. Glad everyone is ok! Good luck with the glasses. When mom got hers she said it took a little bit, but she got used to them. I actually have a pair (for about 5 yrs now), but never wear them. Like, literally never. I’m not even sure where they are. I’ll probably eventually have to, but for now I resist. LOL
Jill
Yikes, tornadoes! I hope that calms down soon. Good luck with the new glasses. I got a new contact prescription this week, and I think I’m going to call my doctor tomorrow and ask if I can go back to my old prescription.
Deb Nance at Readerbuzz
The storms sound horrific. I’m so sorry that you had to go through that.
Lorna
That is so scary! I know I was afraid for you. I’m glad you got through it intact! Your glasses are three tiers or whatever it is called. I had those before cataract surgery. After cataract surgery only needed readers. It’s been pretty great although I can tell I’ll be needing glasses again in the not so far future. See what you have to look forward to? Best surgery I ever had. As far as your new glasses, I never got used to the bottom part and I took them off to read. Had them for a long time too. I hope you do better than I did.
Greg
Oh wow! Glad you are safe! I heard about tornadoes out there.
Too close for comfort!
Lola
I hope you adjust to your new glasses soon, that sounds difficult feeling like you’re on a boat, I get seasick too. We only very rarely get tornado’s here in the Netherlands and I never experienced one, they sound very creepy. I am glad there are lock downs to help people stay safe, but I feel sad for the family whose house got destroyed by it. Have a great week!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Yikes! I’m glad your daughter is OK. That’s a close call!
A tendency to motion sickness is the reason my eye doctor (several of them) have recommended against progressives. Instead, I just use regular bifocals with a line. I hope you are able to adjust to your progressives soon.
Mark
Scary! Glad you survived the storms okay. Hope you get used to your glasses soon.
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
I hope everyone is alright after all those storms. I’ve had progressives for years . it takes time to get used to them but hopefully not too long. Have a great week!
Laurel-Rain Snow
Good luck escaping the stormy weather! Have a great week.
