ACCOUNTANT BY DAY

I just got finished weed-whacking the ditch and everything around our yard as per our instructions from Wyandotte Code Enforcement, and boy did that ever suck. This is so going to be my roommate’s job next time. I have a welt on my face where something flew up and hit me. It occurs to me that maybe I should get some of those safety goggles for next time. I’d rather not have an eye put out for the sake of code compliance.

Speaking of eyes, I went and had my first eye exam in ages today. Yep, it’s time to replace my old glasses. I really like the frames I have now, and they’re still in pretty good shape, so I was thinking about getting the same model in a different color. However, it turns out this style only comes in “deep plum fuschia”, which I already have, “tortoise”, and something called “lavendar irridescent”. I saw no point in getting the same pair, same color over again when the glasses I like are already kind of expensive and the ones I already have now are in good shape, so I looked at a different model by the same company, which came in a beautiful brilliant dark garnet color that I just loved. However, they were too narrow for my face, and guess what, only come in one size. I was kind of disappointed that I couldn’t get my current frames again in the garnet, but eventually I managed to settle on a nice pair of frames that were cheaper than mine anyway. According to the lady at the office, the Ralph Lauren eyeglasses I picked are just as durable as the other ones, and the frames hold their luster very well, too. And I get the dubious benefit of giving money to a preppy snot brand so the owners can buy new polo ponies or something.
