One for May

It's always nice when wants become needs. Okay, before anyone launches into a discussion of how to prevent wants from turning into unnecessary needs, let me just start of by saying that my glasses broke yesterday. I've actually been wanting to get new glasses for a couple of years, but since my old ones had been working fine, I'd been putting it off. Well, lo and behold, a month or two ago, I started noticing that I was having to squint and having trouble seeing as far away as I used to. I was still putting off making an eye appointment, though. I took my glasses into the eye office today to see if there's anything they can do, since I have trouble wearing my contacts at work (too many allergens), and the lady there laughed. That's never a good sign. The technicians managed to fix it, temporarily, so I have a short reprieve from my contacts. Of course, I'm also walking around with tape on my glasses, so I'm contemplating investing in a pocket protector, just to keep up the image. All I need now is for one of the popular kids to shove me in a locker and take my lunch money. Of course, given that I'm going to be ordering a new pair of glasses next week, I don't think I'll have any lunch money of which to speak. Oh, well. At least it's not a new calculator.
