I'm back and I broke my glasses


Well, we returned home yesterday. We had a great time relaxing on the beach. The weather was perfect and the Gulf was calm. It looked like it does in the vacation brochures.

There were two drawbacks though. One was the biting flies and the other was I broke my glasses on Friday. The flies were more of an annoyance than anything. Breaking my glasses was no fun. I made the mistake of setting them down on the floor while I was taking a bath. (there really wasn't anywhere else to put them) I kept thinking that may be a bad idea, but I didn't listen to myself. When I got out I stepped on them. Not much pressure before I realized it but it was too late. They broke at he spot where the arm meets the lenses so they cannot be fixed. I walked around with one armed glasses for two days. That is annoying. I wore my prescription sunglasses when I could, but you can't wear them inside long so I wound up squinting alot.

I will go today and see about replacing them or putting the lenses in new frames. I really can't afford new glasses right now, but we do have insurance that is supposed to pay for new glasses. They don't cover transitions lenses though so I will have to pay the difference, I think. I don't have any idea how much that will be. I may be better off just putting the old lenses in new frames. Okay, I talked to the insurance company who said they would email me a claim from so I can go get glasses. It isn't here yet. I wanted to leave already. AUGHHHH!

I took plenty of pics of the beach. I will publish them after I get them processed today.

Well I went and ordered my glasses. It'll be a week before I get them. I'm glad I have a back up pair, but I'll be glad to get the new ones. I do have to pay the difference for the transitions lenses so by the time I paid for everything it was about half of what I pay normally.
