Free things are nice

Yesterday got a free inhaler at my new dr's office. Turns out needing to use albuterol due to asthma attacks two or three times a week is not normal. I thought I was doing pretty good. So now I'm trying out this preventative crap and hopefully I won't wake up in the middle of the night gasping for breath, all wheezed out and crazed.

Called Council today to get new contacts, but they wouldn't order them for me b/c I hadn't had an eye exam since March 2006 and they require one eye exam per year. I made an appointment for next week and asked if there was any way they could hook me up with a pair of lenses in the meantime on the script they had; I made the girl on the phone laugh when I blurted out my reasoning, "I just feel so ugly wearing these glasses all the time!" Sure enough, they gave me a free "trial pair", so no more glasses for me.

To be totally honest, my real problem with the glasses has to do with my winter hat fetish. My super amazing pea green and orange winter hat I bought when Jay and I went to Rite Aid before the St. Patrick's Day parade last year (the hat that matches perfectly with my keens)- it just looks stupid when I have my glasses on. I've been forced to wear my black Baillie fleece hat. Haven't yet located my Legends hat this season. Surely it's in a box in the garage along with everything else.
