Speculating on specs

[linaewen]

God is good, and even answers mundane prayers like "please let it work out that I can get my glasses exchanged for ones I can use!"

I went to Lenscrafters this morning, and my timing was perfect, because no one was busy and even the optometrist was loitering about looking for something to do. They took my glasses, heard my complaint, and informed me that I shouldn't have gone with graduated lenses with trifocals. Well, how am I supposed to know that -- they're the people who know these things! ;-) Anyway, they checked my prescription against my old glasses, and the optometrist had a look, too, and decided it would be a good idea to check my eyes out again -- yay, just what I wanted!! He adjusted the prescription just a tad and sent me back to get them exchanged for normal trifocals.

There was a tiny difference in the cost, but they waived the extra charge, so I should be getting glasses that work in about two weeks. I am trusting that they WILL work and that there will be no more of this fussing about not being able to see to read or drive.

Hooray for vision! Ironically, as I'm sitting here typing this, my neighbors are singing amazing grace and right when I read about how you'll be getting your glasses in 2 weeks, they sang "twas blind, but now I see". Coincidence? I think not!

Mocha, I couldn't reply to your Teen Titans reply - sorry! I can't believe there's another TT fan around! Woo-hoo! Can I friend you?
(And yes, you can be Starfire...I'm not nearly cheery enough!)

You can only friend me if I can friend you ;-)
(I'm definately not cheery enough to be Starfire lol look at my posts... I wanted Raven, but you already took it)

I think not, too! That is exciting and makes me grin. It was truly upsetting not to be able to see properly there for awhile.

You know, I think Boromir is wearing graduated trifocal sunglasses in that picture...=D

Glad you were able to get them to check things without a major hissy fit (which I know you were fully prepared to give them)and that things will be all right in a couple of weeks.

BTW, I love the word "loitering." For some reason.

I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode where Bart and Jessica Lovejoy run amuck in town, and the first thing they do is loiter under the "No Loitering" sign. *grins*

And Lin, glad the glasses situation is working out, and you don't have to pay extra! I understand the need for good vision all too well..*rubs tired contact eyes*

I appreciate even my old glasses now, after suffering with the new bad ones for a week!

That must be why he is squinting so much. ;-)

I was ready for a hissy fit, but they were quite wonderful and very helpful. Yay!

When one of my friends got married, she had all the bridesmaids ( including me) in a black cocktail dresses ( I looked so GOOD back then *sigh*). For some of the pictures, they had us all in black "Risky Business" shades. We looked way cool.

Can you imagine the entire fellowship wearing sunglasses? Legolas and Boromir would have rocked that look =)

I sure hope so, ((((Lin)))). It must be very frustrating to have to wait so long, though.

My old glasses still do me, thankfully!

Hi! There is no way I could have ever gotten used to them, but you know what -- I actually considered letting it go and not fussing. Duh!
