Yesterday, I had a terrible, terrible day. (I won't bore you with the details.)

As one does, last night I put the day away and looked forward to a fresh day today, where I wouldn't be dealing with everything I touched turning to utter disaster.

I woke up.

I picked up my glasses. They were slightly smudged. I took my lens-cleaning cloth and started cleaning my glasses.

One of the lenses fell out.

oh dude that sucks

mine used to do that all the time! if the lens itself just popped out you can probably push it back in and if you guys have a tiny screwdriver widget, you can tighten the screw on the side. if the tiny screw itself has been lost, most drugstores sell glasses kits that should have one that you can use. over here i think most eye doctors will fix that sort of thing for you too.

Yeah, my old glasses had that, with putting lenses back in, but these ones have these funky half-frames, the bottom half is sort of not there. So it doesn't quite work like that.

I'm thinking to take them to the optometrist's on Monday or so, yeah. I'm pretty much due to get my prescription checked anyway...

So far it's promising!

I've been choosing to view this as along th elines of black comedy, as that way it's not hideously depressing. ;)

Mostly. I was aiming for the "black comedy" angle of "Fresh start! ... there go my glasses." Fortunately, last time I got new lenses for a new prescription, I had a spare pair made first because I didn't want to spend a week entirely without glasses. So for the past two days I've been wearing my spare glasses, replacing my pretty aqua/green frames with these fetching steel-grey ones. I look all SRS instead of bringing out the colour my eyes do not have without assistance, but hey.

Well, I admit it made me giggle at the absurdity of it. And then I felt bad.

*hug*
