Off the couch - a late Monday arriver. And I will be going to my optometrist tomorrow.
Confirmed but after a reminder from Peter - RTFP
Same!

I am completely at a loss. I don't even know what to Google!
Thank you Heidi. I thought I was all alone on the couch! I have a few ideas, but I must be looking at this the wrong way. Don't see anything google-worthy. Yet.

Heidi didn't intend her comment as a nudge, but it got me off the couch.

Off the couch! Stopped too soon and Peter put me back on the right track.

Well, after three progressive attempts, I think I'm OTC (I could still be sat back down . . .). Liked the construction! Good fun Peter.

I feel good, but not totally confident in my answer (I would have said 100% confident, but didn't want it construed as a spoiler). Confirmation pending... And confirmed! OTC!

Fun puzzle. The theme not being in my element, I enjoyed the thrill of discovery much, very much! (...and rolling off the couch now)

Okay I have it now. Nice one Peter!
Edit: thought I had it, but now I KNOW I have it. Jeesh!

It took me 3 tries, but, I'm officially off the couch. Good grid and better meta. I liked it.

I finally got it, but Peter had to pull me inch by inch over the finish line. Great puzzle and great clues! Especially liked 1A.
