I've done this before, three years ago in fact, but doing it by myself and paying for it on my own made me feel more grown up. I put on my big girl pants today (No really, I think I did. My jeans do NOT usually fall off me like these were trying) and took charge. I booked my own appointment, I got there with time to spare, and I was able to answer my own questions without constantly looking to my mom for help. Because I do that a lot, I get asked certain questions and I look to my mom with that "I don't know what to do help me Mommy" face, and she answers for me. Not today. I did it myself. It's just an eye exam and a purchase of new glasses, but doing it myself made me feel...more grown up. I've even been having the occasional thought of "Hey it'd be fun to move out on my own, live in an apartment closer to where I work." though I know I won't do it. I'm not ready to move out on my own yet, I'd miss the comfort of home with my mom too much.
I like the place I went to. Very high end, very nice. My coworker recommended it to me and he absolutely was not embellishing how well they treat their patients in the slightest. It was an amazing place, and I'm more than happy to go back again.
The glasses I ordered are big girl glasses too. <3 Transitions, scratch resistance, a seal to help with glare, uv coating. It's great. And with my cast discount it chopped like..$100 off the total price. I spent a lot less than I thought I was going to end up spending, and it's totally worth it. And my glasses? They're Vera Wang. My final options ended up being Juicy Couture or Vera Wang, two designer names I never thought I would ever have ANYTHING of. The month of March, all that stress, exhaustion getting sick...it was all worth it. I know some people will be like "OVER A PAIR OF GLASSES?!" No, it's not just a pair of glasses to me. It's my sight, it's being able to see so I can not crash while I'm driving. So I can not go blind every time I'm at work, so I can actually see from a distance and make sure people are safe. To me it was also about doing this on my own which, aside from bringing my mom so she could drive when I was BLINDED BY THE FRIGGIN' LIGHT and because I just love spending time with her, is exactly what I did.
I spent $514 in one visit. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I DO OFTEN, GUYS.
Reading back on this my thoughts make no sense buuuuut I don't really care. Deal with it. <333
