So This Happened During The Pandemic

This happened a few months ago. The frames are about 12 years old. I liked them so I kept re-using them.  I won't even recite the series of unfortunate choices that led to this bit of destruction. But if your inner voice ever warns you not to put your glasses there, listen to it. 

Then there is the little inconvenience of the pandemic, and lockdown, and social distancing. Eye exams are an in your face kind of thing. So I have been wearing the 14 year old pair for a while. Then the CDC said that vaccinated people are safe to go maskless. I decided that I was willing to risk a masked visit to an eye doc. That happened last weekend. New glasses are on the way. I should have them next week. After I ordered them I took a last peek at my old pair. I'm pretty sure that I just ordered that same frame again. At least I know my sunglasses clip on will fit.

    I broke mine a few months ago too. The ones I'm wearing are cheaters and not working so well since my vision is different in each eye. I really need to go ahead and risk a masked appointment too.

    Yeah, plastic just gets brittle after awhile, doesn't it. Enjoy your new specs!

    I hate those small incidents like breaking your glasses. They seem, and are, hugely impactful. Glad you've a new pair on the way.
    Take care.
