I’m on the subway the other day on my way to work, just reading the paper, like I do every day. Because I’m near sighted, I don’t need my glasses to read, so I usually take them off when I’ve got the paper, and put them in my glasses case, and tuck that away in my bag.
As I finished with the paper coming up near the Rockefeller Center stop on the F line, it was time to put my paper away and take out my glasses. So into my bag I reach. I pulled out my glasses case, took hold of my glasses .I’m on the subway the other day on my way to work, just reading the paper, like I do every day.

Again!
Same thing happened about 6 months ago. I’m so pissed!
So now I have to wear my old pair, which isn’t so bad, except that they’re a bit heavy, and it hurts the bridge of my nose if I have them on too long. And I have to go back to the eye glass shop and chew them out, and see if there’s any way for me to get them replaced either for free or at a discount.
In the mean time, however, I’m now finally convinced it’s time for me to get contacts. I’ve put it off all these years, but this has just put me over the edge.
Still … for the money I’ve spent on these damn glasses–between the broken arms and the clip-ons–I need to get more out of this. I’m not saying contacts is the perfect solution, but this is just too much!
