I've had a wee reality check today so I'm nowhere near as grumpy as I have been. Feeling like a bit of an idiot, but hey, when things get to you, you can't really stop them.
I'm a bit worried today (nothing to do with the above), but the bf has had to take the day off work sick because the new glasses he got last week have made him very very dizzy and sick feeling. This is despite him telling the folk in the opticians that he couldn't see properly with them TWICE! (we left for an hour and had to go straight back when he found he was struggling to function with them on). The first woman dismissed what he was saying straight away, didn't look at them, check them or make sure they were sitting ok and told him to go away for 3 days and try them. The next woman (an hour later) fiddled around with them, did loads and loads of checks to make sure they were made properly and told him to wear them for 2 weeks before comming back. He has lasted 3 days (Sat, Sun and a very sicky Mon at work). Last night he came home and switched to his old glasses straight away.
Will now need to trot back to the opticians at some point to try and convince them he can't use them. It's one thing to struggle to see, but it's quite another when you've paid £350 (he's one of these folk that need the big thick lenses thinned down) to struggle to see. The irony is, he paid a little extra for the middle of the range lenses which were supposed to be better at focussing than the standards that he was already using, yet with them he can't focus on anything other than dead ahead.
What I'm worried about though is, since he is only temping in his job, he doesn't get sick pay so thats a days wage down the drain with nothing really to fall back on. He was in his sick bed mumbling about doing overtime to make the 7 hours up, but thats not going to be a bundle of laughs.
Suppose he's getting his comeuppance after trying to poison me with his home made chilli last night. I'll make it mild he says, oh you can hardly taste the spice he says. AYE RIGHT! I didn't even manage a whole forkfull in the one go. Had to make do with just a pudding in the end (homemade strawberry tart, not very homemade as such, just home-put-together, but still very yummy) - poor me, huh :o)
Happy of the day - Mentos do grape flavour sweeties!!! The UK shores are finally comming round to the American Dream - Grape flavour rules! Although they have included the nasty watermelon flavour as well, bleugh!
