What a Horrible Day

I am so depressed. First I waited three weeks for my new glasses and now that I have them, I can't see anything up close. I didn't think I'd need bifocals because I almost always take my glasses off to read, fix knitting mistakes, thread needles, etc but Now I can't see the computer screen or the keyboard for that matter. I couldn't even read the recipe in my cookbook for tonight's dinner. I was told I would have 60 days to upgrade my cheap $540.00 glasses to bifocals and all I'll have to do is pay for the bifocal part and wait another three freaking weeks.

But wait, that's not all.

Today was my knitting circle at the local yarn shop and as I walked towards the shop door, strategically placed in the centre of the window, I see a sign stating the shop will be closing it's doors on December 22. WTF! This was the best yarn shop I have ever seen. I bought a fair bit of yarn and supplies there over the past 18 months it's been open and hoped that other knitters did too. I suspected this might happen when the owner bought a house in another town. I knew it was the beginning of the end when she opened a second yarn shop in that town. It was just such a shock to see that sign today. Guess I'll be going back to buying my yarn on line.

Is the other town too far to go?

Do you have astigmatism or something too? That's some price for lenses.

$500-plus sounds like a lot for glasses. Sorry you are having a problem.
As for favorite places moving, that's a real bummer.

The perfect solution is to be old enough for cataract surgery and then you
don't need glasses at all! Just cheap reading glasses.

Did you have an eye test done before they made the glasses if you did take the glasses back , useless if you can't see.
bugga about the store closing

What a disappointment about the glasses. There is nothing worse than not being able to see. And the yarn shop - very bad news.

sorry to hear that; everytime I like something at the stores, it is discontinued!

Oh, that's terrible! On both counts! Hope you can get glasses that work.
