jaeclecticThe afternoon did get somewhat better as it went along.
And I got to pick up my cool new sunglasses, whee!
Ever since I started needed glasses (mainly for driving, happened around age 30, as opposed to the reading glasses that I had as a child) I have had this particular approach to selecting frames: For the regular glasses, I want something basically bland, so I can wear them at work or in any other context and feel like they don't distract or clash with my clothes or whatever else my obsessive-compulsive brain might come up with. The frames I have now (which I just got new lenses for) are really perfect, because they are kind of cool and yet simultaneously quite neutral.
But for the sunglasses -- because of course I need prescription sunglasses -- I want something flashy. Now the last time I got glasses, the place just didn't have anything I really liked, and I ended up getting plain, boring, ordinary sunglasses, and for the 5 years since, I have been walking around feeling dissatisfied. But now! I am fulfilled!
If only I had a digital camera I would take a picture of them to post right now...
OK, I admit it, I am easily amused.
