Snow and frustration
Jan. 25th, 2009 02:20 pmThe snow isn't the frustrating thing. Bemo got his eye exam and his new lenses, which were put into his current frame. The frames were only about a year old, and seemed fine. Note the phrase "seemed." Yesterday, he was taking them off and they snapped right in a place unfixable without a soldering tool and a lot of patience, and even with both of these not a guarantee that the frame would go back in. So we hied back to the optometrist/frame shop, and apparently can get new lenses for free, and wouldn't have to spend much on a new frame. EXCEPT the new glasses will take about a week, and Bemo's old glasses are so far away from his new prescription that they're not even remotely usable.
We, uh - haven't worked out what this'll mean for the next week.
In other news, my subconscious has decided to plague me with dreams about being an irresponsible pet owner with a side of money worries. Yesterday I had a long dream where I still had my old horse, Jake. He was in a turnout with another horse and got pushy, and the other horse panicked in a way that tore off one of his shoes. Feeling horribly guilty about my horse's bad behavior, I offer to chip in to pay for the new shoe, and the owner tells me that it'll cost about eight thousand dollars to fix, so for the rest of the dream I'm in a panic trying to figure out where I'll get that kind of money.
And yesterday, there was a long dream about Buster, a lhasa apso I used to own, and about how it was my fault that he ended up in a succession of bad homes and was now in a tiny cage at a pet store where he'd spend the rest of his life without a home and people to love him.
I'm not sure if this is all the result of guilt because I need to get my cats in for their shots and checkups, but can't do it just yet. But I hope they don't continue like this. I don't get nightmares, per say, but these are plenty nerve-wracking on their own.
