No fooling me twice
About 20 years ago a weird blemish showed up on the side of my head.
I went to the doctor and she said "That’s not good, time to go to an expert."
He cut it off my head and sent it to the lab.
It turned out to be my metal allergy giving me a problem where my metal sunglasses touched the side of my head.
(This is why my wedding ring is a rubber O-Ring, I don’t wear watch and have no piercings.)
We’ve done a lot of driving the last month and I’ve worn my sunglasses a lot.
When there was a bump on my face where it had been sunburnt, I did worry a bit. Then, I noticed that it was just where the frame of my metal framed sunglasses rested on my cheek.
So, I decided to drive the last two weeks squinting without my sunglasses to see if it went away.
And, it did.
Yesterday when running errands ZZ Top’s "Cheap Sunglasses" came on. So, I bought myself some sunglasses with big plastic frames.
Hopefully that will prevent other things from showing on my face.

My previous pair of sunglasses I had worn for so long the (plastic) ends that go over the ears had worn away, so if the car had been sitting in the hot sun for a long time, since I keep the glasses in the provided sunglass container on the roof of the car, the metal frames would still become so hot that they'd sting a little bit when I'd put them on.
The replacement rubber ends I got from eBay were the wrong size, despite what the manufacturer stated. So I ended up having to cut a slit on the outside so that they'd fit, most of the way, onto the metal ends.
I started noticing this odd distortion in my vision, and eventually figured out it wasn't my eyes (although they are getting weaker but anyway), but turned out to be the plastic lenses on the sunglasses had become warped, and pretty much in the center of the lens. So I ended up buying a new pair.
I've tried to make a habit of putting them in the center console box during the summer. Most of the times I forget because force-of-habit.
I do like the ZZ Top song.
