Glasses and Christmas
So, my ginchy rimless glasses fell apart the other day while in Von’s, shopping for ingredients for my chili, in preparation for the Hesperia Star’s holiday potluck party.
One of the tiny nuts that attaches to the bolts had fallen off, and since it’s about the size of the flea, it’s just gone. The glasses are in two pieces now, with each lens on its one, and one of them retaining custody of the nose piece.
Under normal circumstances, I’d take the glasses back to LensCrafters, have them slip on a new nut, tighten the whole works up and be just fine. But our only local LensCrafters is in the mall. And it’s Christmas.
So it’ll be a squinty holiday for me for the next few weeks, unless it’s a situation where I can wear my prescription sunglasses instead. Ho, ho, ho.

This is why sensible people own 2 pairs. Or in my case a big box of disposable contacts and a pair of glasses.

I know with sun glasses you can go to Walgreens, etc and get a eye glass repair kit for a couple of dollars,
but what I got only had bolts I think.
