Kacey, they make glare guards for computer monitors. It's like a thin mesh. You can see through it fine, but it doesn't allow the glare. For your health's sake, check into it.
 
Don't worry about the white hair, with the extra income you can afford to find a good colorist!

Full steam ahead I always say. Sometimes you have to dive into the deep end to really get the most out of the pool.

We are all with you.
