Blogging Away Debt Our Journeys to a Debt-Free Life

I made at least one of my readers chuckle when I wrote about how I was doing my best to keep our heat turned off. It probably does sound funny to those of you who may still be using an air conditioner – LOL.

Well, I did turn on the heat for the first time today. We lasted longer than I thought we could, thanks to some warmer weather last week. But after last night’s temps in the twenties – we had to turn it on today.

There’s another reason too…we have a snow storm coming this week! They are forecasting one to two feet. That’s fine with me, because I think the first snow of the season is the prettiest because there is still a hint of fall color left.

With that, it’s time to go outside and get out the shovels and put any summer related things away. It’s funny because that’s what everyone around here seems to do once word gets out of the first “big snow” coming. I think we all wait until the last minute, just hoping fall will stick around a little bit longer.

I went back to my eye doctor for my contact lens check-up and mentioned the gap between the lens and the frame on my eyeglasses. The technician took a look, and immediately he said that the wire bottom probably needs to be tightened. He went back to their eyeglass repair room and he came back about 5 minutes later.

I think I took 5 minutes inspecting his work…LOL.

They looked much better, and I attracted the attention of the Optical Manager because I was really inspecting them. She asked what the problem was and I told her about the gap.

She took the glasses from me, and pretty forcefully checked the lenses to make sure they weren’t going anywhere and they didn’t. She asked the technician what he did and he told her he tightened the wire. Then, she apologized to me. She said that they should not be getting the glasses in when they are not properly tightened.

I expressed concern about the wires since I know they can break. She told me that they would replace the wires should they ever break, and that offer extends for as long as I own my glasses. That put my mind at ease a little.

They did make it right, but I think next time I may go somewhere else for my frames. It will mostly depend on how well these glasses hold up.

Thank you to everyone who commented and told me to take my glasses back 🙂
