I would like to say a quick good word

For Le Muffin Plus in the World Exchange Plaza food court.

We went there for lunch after the Hill today and I was considering the soup and sandwich option, so I asked if they had an alternative to styrafoam bowls. The soup guy said no, so I said "let me think about this" and backed up.

While I was discussing alternatives with Cat, he called us back over.

They gave us, with *no need for us to ask further as we ordered more stuff*, a very nearly packaging-free lunch[1]: soup in ceramic coffee cups and quiche and salad on proper (fiestaware!) plates. And they were completely nice about it and treated it as a totally reasonable concern.

The food is "good for a food court": the chicken rice vegetable soup could have been spicier, Cat said the clam chowder (NE) was a bit meh, but the ham quiche and salad were "entirely decent" (me) "fab" (Cat) and the service was *definitely* impressive.

[1] the muffin had been baked with parchment linings and they only had plastic forks. I'm fine with this: parchment is readily compostable and next time I'll remember to put my knife/fork/spoon/chopstick set in my bag.

And so to bed

But first, a question:

I've always had trouble switching the focus of my eyes from "near" to "far"; when I'm tired, or have been reading of knitting over my glasses or with them off for a long time (dreadful habit, I know), or using the computer (glasses on),

1) it takes awhile for my to get my eyes to refocus for distance. When I'm writing or editing or working with vids I find I have to go outside and stare at a building across the river for a bit every hour or so, to fend off eyestrain.

2) When I get overly tired these days, my eyes start tracking more and more slowly; I'll turn my head sharply and my eyes will register this change in their own sweet time. This gives me some interesting afterimages, and also sometimes a mild case of seasickness, as it comes with a definite swoopy sensation.

3) I have progressives, but instead of the cliche of holding the menu or whatever far from my face, I still end up taking my glasses off and putting the text or small item I am working on right in front of my eyes; I may be myopic as Hell but my near vision is AMAZING; I get most of the fiddly jobs in this household for a reason.

Does anyone else get these three things? I don't think any of them is an actual problem, beyond the usual "Oh, yeah, eye-test time", I'm just curious.
