Every year I update my glasses. I look for something funky, colorful, young...and I usually spend around 400-500 dollars on them. Yesterday, I got my exam. I was aware I would need bifocals, as he warned me last year. No problem....or so I thought! I was a HUGE pain in the ass for the guy. He looks just like John Cleese, and because that, I felt bad. He kept pulling frames that made me look like a blue haired secretary circa 1980. Oh, Hell No! I refused over and over, finally convincing him that I had to have an animal print cats eye plastic frame, and nothing else would work for me. Funky for him was apparently ooooh, look, it has a purple metal frame on top. So, animal print cats eyes it is...he measured and hummed and hahed, and finally agreed he could do it. Yea! Victory! Then he started adding up what I needed in lenses. In the past, I got transitions lenses with anti glare...the whole shebang. This time, no transitions, just progressive lenses, the thinnest, lightest lenses. You all know I have no nose to hold up anything lighter than a mini marshmallow, and then anti glare. Nothing really fancy....$830! Getting older is getting expensive! More yoga for my dicky hip! That, or....I accept my name is Phyllis and I work in the secretarial pool, oh, goody! The new Air Supply song is playing...no.no.no.no.no.no. Here, take my money.
