I totally freaked out the employees of an optometrist today by crying in front of them. (I apologize, desk lady, because I know it had nothing to do with you.) Slightly mortifying, but it's been a long semester. (At least it washed that goop out of my eyes.)
Last week, I stopped in to check and make sure they would accept the coupon I had, and they said they would extend it for me, and I was so happy. I read what my insurance people gave me, and I thought I'd read all the fine print on the coupon, but, in the end, I had to pay $75 I didn't really have budgeted when I'd expected to pay $0. And they charged $10 more per box of contacts than my regular place, so I could only get 3 boxes for what amounts to $75. I am not making this up.
It's a scam. I give up. I can use the $75 to get 6 boxes of contacts next year when I have FSA money, save myself the hassle and the cynicism, and also save myself from finding out my vision has gotten even worse. (I thought it had stabilized.) Now I'm so worked up, I don't even trust the eye doctor. I want to say he was lying about the prescription, too, because he knew when it gets up that high, the contacts cost even more.
I think I should be avoiding humanity right now. They don't deserve to have their happy Christmas season screwed up by an adult crying in front of them.
I really need some sleep. It would also be nice not to be in pain.
In other news, full moon, full lunar eclipse, shortest day of the year. It can only get brighter from here, right?
