Inexplicable

So I purchased new glasses. It's been several years. But I figure I'll never have cute glasses because I'm incredibly blind. So the current fashionable dime-size lenses won't work for me. I need some peripheral vision too, you know.

But I digress. I went in before Christmas because there was a place conveniently in our way, while we were present shopping. Dan helped me to pick out something not too awful. Because I can't trust my judgement on that sort of thing at all! Unless I'm trying to select BCGs (birth control glasses), and then I do pretty well on my own.

I didn't expect instant gratification. Which turned out to be a good thing. As lousy as my prescription is, they had to send out for the lenses. Well, after New Year's, I remembered I had ordered glasses but I still hadn't heard from the store. So I called to find out the status and I was informed that there were some delays due to the holidays. Fine, I can accept that. However, the very next day I received a note in the mail from this retailer, stating they had been unable to contact me, but my glasses were ready for pickup. Huh. Was there a reason they could not impart this info to me while I was on the phone with them?? So I called the next day to verify that they really were ready, but I was absolutely too tired to do anything but go directly home from work and crash. But they said, no problem, I could pick them up at my convenience. Well, yesterday I really was going to fetch them, but staying awake at work ALL day was more taxing than I had anticipated and I was too completely overcome with exhaustion to even care about getting them. Which is good. Because last night when Dan checked the front porch, hoping to see the a box containing The Office Season 5, he found a package for me. It was my swanky new pair of glasses.

It's stuff like this that makes it so much easier to believe that overpopulation by idiots is serious concern. However, God must still be watching out for them, because had I gone to the store last night in my completely exhausted, almost-crying-tired condition, I'm pretty sure that somebody in the store would have been screamed at.
