What a difference!

My glasses have desperately needed to be tightened. A pool buddy works at Pearle Vision and he took them in earlier in the summer. That was to get them straight. I guess a cat walked on them or something but they were very crooked. They only focused on getting them straight and didn't address the fact that they were loose as hell. Pearle is literally 2 minutes from work if I hit a red light. You'd think that it was in Timbuktu the way I kept putting off making that visit. Well after having to adjust them like 6 times a minute during lunch today I was like "enough is enough". I headed there and they were all cleaned and tightened. I can look down without worrying about them falling off of my face. It is like night and day. It took fewer than 10 minutes. The moral of the story is I have to be a grown-up and get them adjusted when I need to. It is so not out of my way and it is a very fast process. I'm just punishing myself by dealing with loose frames.

I know you are happy getting your glasses adjusted, because that can be irritating them falling off of your face when you are trying to read something.

I bought the small screwdrivers so I could make adjustments to my frames and tighten screws whenever without going to an optometrist's office to have it done. It's a 70 mile trip one way for me to visit my eye doctor.

That used to really bug me when I wore glasses.

Good stuff for getting them adjusted. I cannot tolerate loose or tight frames. That adjustment period when they are new and tight just about sends me over a cliff.

Ha the classic putting off something that takes 10 minutes for months, we all do that. Glad you finally got them sorted, having to fix your glasses every few minutes sounds so annoying. Funny how it's always the closest, easiest stuff we avoid the longest.
