labellementeuseLast week I ripped my last contact lens (I wear month disposables) that's the right prescription for my left eye, and of course it was in the middle of the holiday season so I couldn't get any new ones. This worked out okay, because I have a sneaking feeling that my prescription's changed a bit, so I thought, well, I'll just wait 'til I can have an eye check-up and wear my glasses til then - it's not ideal, because their frame is incredibly bent out of shape and they fall off my face easily and also they're two prescriptions out of date and sometimes give me headaches, but whatever, it's not an emergency.
However. This afternoon I was bouncing on the trampoline, as I am wont to do, and my glasses fall off mid-flip. This is pretty normal; they go skidding off onto the grass, also fairly normal. I thought they landed about a metre off the tramp, so I hop off to land about a foot away. on reflection, possibly jumping onto an area of grass where my glasses might be when I couldn't actually see the ground might not have been the smartest idea. There was this sort of sickening snap, and when I picked them up... oh yeah, one of the pathetic fragile arms has snapped clean off. Not in half, or anything, which would be fairly easy to tape up; oh no, on the hinge, right up near the lenses. Motherfuck.
*grouches* They're a huge pain to tape up, it keeps coming off, my glasses are actually sitting sideways on my face so my viewing area is even more limited and to top it all off, I have to buy contact lenses on my current prescription because there's no time to have an check up. Frig, frag, frak, and other genre swears!

*SPEC*TACULAR
Date: 2006-12-30 07:14 am (UTC)ahahahaha I'm not quite that desperate yet. I jst have to avoid turning around too fast - and, actually, I got new contacts now, so, phew. :P

Date: 2006-12-30 01:00 am (UTC)I can't even get contacts because I have astigmatism and two different prescriptions and it would be like, $300CND a month or something stupid.
But I did get new glasses and they make me happy. And I think I wear my glasses weird so they're normally tilted. xD.

Date: 2006-12-30 07:16 am (UTC):D My nose has a funny bump and these frames are really thin and bendy (HUGE mistake, never getting bendy glasses again) so mine are often crooked, but the way I have them now is ridiculous.

Date: 2006-12-30 07:30 pm (UTC)This is very strange. And yeah, I have an astigmatism too; thus, the stronger prescription.
