new glasses

i've had the same pair of glasses for nearly 7 years, and that was it. i wore nothing else, until i got a 'just in case' pair last summer, which i don't wear all that much, really. so i really need to splash on a new pair. two, on fact, as i need sunglasses, too. so i finally got an appointment to see my eye doctor and confirm my vision hadn't actually changed. then i spent 45 mns at the optician's yesterday. so many choices... but i had time constraints, so i went back this morning and i finally settled on my two new pairs. i was hoping to settle for some cheap frames, and while they're cheaper than most, it's still gonna be pretty expensive. oh, and the actual glasses need to be extra-light and extra-slim as they otherwise weigh too much, give me a headache. and those i really need, so i can't shave off a few euros there. so my new glasses will be ready in about a week... at the cost of 835 euros! just great. exactly what i needed with my current financial status...
