Optomitrist Rant Morning, well I shouldn't say that 11am is only morning to those of us unemployed folks. It's a good morning for us though! Nothing much going on again. I have a few new penpals, which is nice, and I was able to finally put the Jag in the shop. Yay. Hopefully, it won't cost too much to get her out. That reminds me, Dan and I are supposed to search online for those blower motors so I can have heat. I'm sure there will be other parts too, but so far I have a $300 bill for just the diagnostics. Hopefully, they can fix it as fast as they think they can. My car will have some good company though, I saw a Lincoln in the garage with fake trim panels she can talk to, so everything should work out okay. As for being stranded at home, I'm dealing with it. I did all my shopping for paint, hair dye, and library books yesterday so I have enough to keep me busy while I wait. The lamp is turning out really well so I have a little more confidance about reupholstering my chair. I think I want some blue fabric with a paisley pattern. Something that goes with the sectional but doesn't completely match. I also have to buy another funky chair before we assemble the sectional or the room will look funky. I think I decided not to assemble it until I have a projector/TV purchased either, just because of the layout. Hehe. If I save some on this car, maybe, just maybe, I can allow myself to buy a projector online. yay! I'll go eBay right now! Other than that, I am getting new glasses on Saturday. That's about the only other interesting news right now. I'm taking Dan with me, mostly because I hate my eye doctor but also because I need to try on frames, and it should be a fun experience. For once, I'll have someone not laughing at me when the doctor gets upset and tells me that I'm doing the exam wrong. (For all those of you sighted folks, please pardon this rant. I think people with glasses might understand this frustration.) I don't know, does anyone else have an optomitrist who puts the machine on you and asks you if the objects he's showing you with different lenses are more or less distinct and separate? Then if you try to tell the difference, you really can't so you give him an approximate answer because your eyes are swimming? After which, does your doctor then tell you that you're wrong and deliberately trying to fuck him up so he forces you to do it over and over until your answers match his? That's the impression I got four years ago with my optomitrist. Should be fun, right? Yeah. Not much going on in my little world. Need to remedy that soon. Need money!! Daphne |
