Sailor Soldier of Love and Justice

Tire has gone completely flat. Have called AAA because I am stupidly weak and cannot even change my own tire. I can barely lift the stupid little spare.

Of course this had to happen right before I drive up to NY. :(

I have shiny new glasses. And it only took about 3 hours to get them!

I needed my eyes checked because it had been 4 years and I KNEW my eyes were worse. So I waited an hour for an exam where the doctor told me that yes, my eyes are awful. With my new prescription I went to the glasses place and picked out some frames. Ben was a big help there.

My new frames are a bit smaller than my old ones and a bit more ovalier. I picked the most expensive lense type. :P I had to get the super thin kind anyway since my lenses would be too thick otherwise, and the most expensive type with the UV stuff and the scratch resistance and all that.

Then we had to wait an hour for the lenses to be made. We killed time with snacks and video games and bubble tea.There is a new bubble tea place in the mall. Still uses powder though. I was so spoiled by frosty's. I miss real fruit. But it wasn't awful, just average.

After an hour my glasses were done and I could see again. Yay! My vision is so insanely clear now. I'm amazed and frightened by what I couldn't see before. Maybe I should have gotten sunglasses too....But I was thinking it might be better to get those little things that wrap around your frames. They'd be smaller and if I broke or lose them I wouldn't cry.

And everyone was right about AAA. I thought it would be a few dollars off, but I saved over $150! At this point with the car breaking and the new glasses, my AAA card has paid for itself about 5 years into the future. Insane!

Ben got his eyes checked but they didn't change much so he didn't get new glasses. He was sweet for going with me though. Especially on his day off. We got home so late, and he still made dinner without a complaint. He spoils me!

Today's adventure. Car won't start. A dead battery. Fun fun fun.

I tried to get people in the parking lot to help me, but they all gave me the same story. "Sorry, I'd love to help but I'm running late." They may be running late, but I can't get to work at all now. Thanks folks.

Ben was wonderful and set me up with a AAA account. Our account went through, but wasn't confirmed. I got tired of waiting so I called them and explained and they are sending someone now. That was nice of them.

My bosses were also very understanding about the whole thing. They reassured me that car things happen and to just let them know when I do eventually get to work.

So now I wait for AAA. They will jump my car and the day will be saved!

[EDIT] It's not the battery. Now they want to tow the car to a mechanic to get it fixed. Oh my god I hate the world right now.
