I am pretty sure that my optometrist is my biggest fan.
Next to him would be his receptionist.
When a half hour appointment spreads to an hour and a half because said people are beside themselves, with enthusiasm, about my soon to be published book- one can’t help but smile.
Or at least I couldn’t.
Which was a good thing because eye appointments always leave me with an impending migraine.
Reason #2 that this egocentric smiling occurred would be when my new prescription sunglasses broke my bank at over $200.
It’s unfortunate that I have to have them. {Have to wear wrapped sunglasses, not clip-ons, due to extreme light sensitivity}
Earlier, during my time in their office, the receptionist, {who is pretty much the SWEETEST person ever} was going on and on about how I was going to make bank. I didn’t want to burst her bubble with the reality that only the rare freak instances {E.L. James}, sell outs and a small 2% of the rest of authors actually come close to making a good income. It was sweet that she thought I would be attending my next appointment filthy rich.
Anyway, back to my optometrist. Sweetest guy. I would recommend him to anyone. He even pitched me a story, which my husband later thought would make an incredible movie.
I also learned a lot about my eye disorder, which was really great. I guess that’s a perk to really being someone.
Next thing you know, the Biebs himself will be sending me tickets to his tour. {Oh wouldn’t Genny die of complete and utter happiness.} There are certainly days when I wish such fame were a reality. Then again, if I were to have such power- I would simply use it to woo George Clooney into presidency.
I am, after all, a single focus girl…
Rainy Day in May...

Check out the new look! Loving the yellow.I won't let them do the dilation part anymore at the eye doctor because that part gives me migraines. I can tolerate the rest.
Oh I enjoyed this post, funny!I tend to buy only $10 sunglasses (non-Rx) because1. I lose them OR2. I sit on them and break them OR3. The kids take them!
How exciting to be having a book coming out!! And to have fans already…what could be more fun! :-)Thanks for stopping by my blog!And, hopefully, I will get to read the book one day.
