Ran around today, to the library (got 11/22/63), to drop a little something off for [livejournal.com profile] ang5fam (Finally, right?!), and then to the optical department at WalMart. Highest price yet--apparently they think my prescription is so complex that the lenses can only be ground from genuine diamonds by an order of dedicated monks in Kathmandu.

I will not be purchasing my glasses at WalMart.


My church friend's looking possible, no pun intended. I called her office to ask about their price for polycarbonate; they didn't flinch when I read out my 'scrip and the lens price wasn't unreasonable---Mb and I will make a run up there tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed: This is really starting to stress me out.

My bank card wouldn't work at Publix today. Called my bank, and THEY won't discuss it over the phone. I'm seriously considering going back to my old bank. Grr. I did not need this shit.

Bright note in my day, I nipped into the post office and collected what they've been holding for me. 'Zines, yay! And a package from Estonia, complete with a cute padded envelope printed with poinsettias (of which I'm fond). Several cute things were inside: a black drawstring bag printed with a dragon, some sparkly hair do-dads, and a pair of zippered leopard print pouches.

I'm still waiting for season 2 of Justified to arrive, although I did go with economy shipping, so I'm not surprised it hasn't. Thirteen days til season 2!

I'm tired, frustrated and I have a headache. It gets better, right?

I'm sorry WalMart didn't work out. I'm not astonished, really, but I was hoping.... I hope your church friend works out for you. I can imagine how frustrating this must be! (Yay! for packages from Estonia, though.)

Thanks for the hopeful thoughts. I've gotten glasses from WalMart before (the pair before last), but that was 12-15 years ago, and I had insurance at the time. This out-of-pocket shit is for the birds!

Again, many thanks for the gifts! It was such a crappy day at work and having something on my porch waiting for me after work really made my day!
Hope you find some affordable specs- I've heard that the friend from church is really great. I should make an appt with her myself!

If her prices are good, what I might do is order a pair tomorrow, and find some cute, cheap frames online and get lenses from her so I'll have a back-up pair. Or reading glasses. We'll see....

Yay-yay!

Yes, I am glad it arrived in *almost* timely manner! And it seemed to be intact!
Oh, poinsettias you like? Must remember that!

Uh-huh, but at 2 AM, when you need something right then, they sure do come in handy!

this is true. the nearest Safeway is open 24/7 and I'm glad it's there.

Nope, no Safeway here. It's either WalMart of 7-11, and I *ain't* paying S'lenven's jacked up prices for a pint of Ben & Jerry's at 2AM.
