I might need a new mirror...

This morning, I was putting on my makeup in the bathroom, and it was apparent that my eyebrows could use a little tweeze. I'm not noticably hirsute, and since my hair is sort of the color of a geriatric field mouse, what extra hair I have isn't TOO glaringly obvious. Still, my right eyebrow in particular looked as if it had been over-fertilized, so I grabbed the tweezers and had a go at it. Metal was clacking, and brow hairs were flying, and STILL there was an uneven spot that I just could NOT tweeze out. Bear in mind, I can't wear my glasses when I tweeze, because I now have TRI-focals that are graduated, and if I have my glasses on and look up into the mirror, I can't even SEE my eyebrows. I'm better off without the glasses at all, or so I thought. After what seemed like an eternity of enthusiastic tweezing with less than stellar results, I finally put my glasses on so that I could take a head-on look at the problem. And that's when I discovered two unfortunate facts:
a) I actually have age spots on my eyebrow area now, and
b) I also now have a rather impressive bald spot, which is only minimally hidden by the age spot that I THOUGHT was a clump of rogue hairs.

Which leads me to the conclusion that I might not be wasting my money if I purchased one of those mega-watt, 800x magnifying mirrors for my bathroom. I hate menopause...
