I'd planned my errands today around an eye examination as it was scheduled for 12:30 pm. So, in the morning I worked on my course homepage and the introductory messages for my summer class which starts of Friday. I wanted to get on campus to do a little photocopying and to renew my faculty parking pass for the summer. I careless assumed the afternoon would be perfect for after the visit with the eye doctor.
The one thing I hadn't planned on was my doctor would want to dilate my pupils as part of the exam. Wouldn't you know, today was the sunniest it has been for a few weeks! I really wondered whether I should be driving as I aimed my truck towards BCIT. I was successful in avoiding running off the road or into any cars or pedestrians.
Consequently, I was also successful in doing all I had planned. In fact, I accomplished more than I expected. I didn't anticipate paying $650 for the check and new lenses and frames. I did get two sets though as I'll be retiring later in the year. Alas, I remember paying $125 for a pair. Probably that was back during the 80's, well before I needed progressive lenses.
Sigh.
