No, this has nothing to do with rain or "rain" as a metaphor for life's fun difficulties. It's just that Cardo and I bought goggles today and for the first time this summer, I could see well at the pool. I didn't have to worry about my glasses getting splashed every couple of seconds. I didn't have to worry about losing a contact in the pool. I could do flipturns because I could see the wall! (Yes, my eyes are that bad.) It was something of a revelatory experience, much like how I felt after getting glasses when I was seven and realizing (or rerealizing) that trees had individual leaves and not just a mass of greenness.
Now, if only the pool-enjoying season wasn't about to end so soon. Ah, well.

I was in the third grade when I got glasses. My parents found out I needed them after the school gave everyone eye exams. After I got glasses, I wondered how I didn't know I'd needed them because it was ridiculous how bad my eyesight was.
Ditto. You would have thought the squinting would have been my first clue...
