“What are blue blocker lights and how do you wear them?”

+++++++++++++++++++++

I’m such a dolt! I didn’t finish my sentence. Blue light blocking glasses! I get mine from Peepers. They have plain lenses, if you don’t need readers and reading glasses that have blue light blocking film? on them.

Good on you for exercise. I did join the Y last week. Their pool is open. It was kind of an adventure. Normally during the winter I swim at 24 hour fitness. But their pool is closed. Because, you know, tons of chlorine and covid.... (haha sarcasm). So I reserve a lane on line for 7:15 PM. Oh boy. I get there, they had us line up on a number for the lane. First come, first serve. So I pick the middle lane... #6. No one on either side of me. My first thought was.. “what is wrong with lane 6?” LOL. Yeah.. it’s 7’ deep!!! No stopping in that lane. And the water comes all the way up to the top of the pool and splashes over this guard thing that’s rougher than a brick. So I’m sitting on the side of the pool, on that rough thing, getting ready to jump in, when I look at the end, and it’s dark outside, so it’s kinda creepy, have a TOTAL panic attack, rip my goggles off, put a mask and snorkel on (good thing I brought it hahahah) and start swimming. Good swim, but it energized me lol. So there I was at 11 pm that night mopping the kitchen floor.

I will look into blue blocker glasses.

I love to swim but learned in the ocean and much prefer ocean swimming which is not available here. I read that in Europe they often have, or at least used to have, salt water swimming pools. Does the same thing as chlorine but not nasty. I would love that.
