Good vision: a financial assault

 

This was my vision after the optometrist put the drops in my eyes to make them big

I just finished and hellacious hour trying to figure out how to get my Google account back online so I could write tonight's blog. I thought I had it all taken care of but somehow I guess the payment didn't go into the account just right so I've been trying to go alone and try to update the payment process which finally it did. Hopefully I have it online now it'll just do it itself every month. It is so frustrating working with all of this stuff.

Anyway, somehow last night and I don't know how I did this but I've misplaced my glasses. I know I had them at a certain point in time yesterday but all the sudden this morning we couldn't find them. I looked over and over again this morning after Melissa left trying to find the glasses cuz I needed to go and do things- - it was a beautiful day. What I eventually ended up doing however was going up to Walmart with an old pair of glasses that I've had trouble getting fixed over the last couple years. Somehow when I rolled over the glasses at some point in time I've been the frame so bad that the regular folks couldn't figure it out how to fix it. So I figured I would just go up and order a new pair of glasses, with the hope they would fix the broken pair. Trying to get the people at the front desk to help out on something like this is right up there pulling teeth. First they tried to fix glasses and they couldn't and then they said it can't be done. I told them I wanted to have an eye exam and order a new pair of glasses then they started that process which was pretty weird but eventually I got to see the optometrist who's a pretty nice guy. I got a pretty good conversation going and it was a bit of a challenge because all of these testing modules are set up for people who are able-bodied and so anytime a wheelchair goes in for testing they go off ballistic. Eventually however we got the job done. The interesting and best part however was once the optometrist got involved in looking at my broken glasses and taking the challenge and trying to get them fixed it was a whole new ball game. He worked hard and eventually pulled the frames together screwed them pretty tightly and had the lenses locked in tight as well. He's assured me that it won't last very long and hopefully my new lenses and glasses will be here in 10 to 15 days. It cost me 225 but I guess that's the price of doing business and seeing well…
