As if things couldn’t get any worse, I have officially lost my prescription sunglasses that I bought in May under the ex-BF’s health plan. Haven’t seen them in over a month. So yesterday, I went to the mall and bought myself another pair. For $275. And this time, they aren’t going to be covered by medical (the plan only covers $200 for eye wear every 2 years).
I’ll be fine in terms of paying for them, but I’m frustrated and angry at myself for losing something so expensive … and if it had been anything else, I probably wouldn’t have replaced it … but I need sunglasses for riding my scooter, and since I’m required to wear glasses while I drive, I had to get them prescription. Plus, I get really dizzy and nauseous on days when I wear my non-prescription sunglasses.
The women at the store was nice enough, and said that if I found my old sunglasses (or if I didn’t like my new pair), I could return them within 60 days for a full refund. They’re being sent to the lab, and I should get them in about 10 days. Meanwhile, I’m going to go see if I can find a better deal elsewhere for sunglasses. There’s another place in the same mall that had a 2-for-1 sale going on, and I wouldn’t mind a new pair of everyday glasses to go along with the sunglasses. They have a smaller selection of frames, but I’ll go check them out later this week.
That’s one of the drawbacks of being single now … no more medical coverage. :( The ex-BF took me off his medical plan yesterday. Good thing I have a 4-month supply of my prescriptions … and I just went to the dentist, and am up-to-date on all that pressing dental work I needed to get done. Here’s hoping whatever job I end up getting has a good medical plan!
