Blergh.

I think I must be in one of my down moods. I have been having some mild eye-strain type headaches, so I had to mess around trying to find someplace that would take my vision insurance, which eventually landed me at Sears Optical.  I liked the optician just fine, and I found some new glasses I liked; I was weirded out by the doc saying that my eyesight had improved, so my current prescription was too strong and I needed something milder for distance.  My up-close vision was borderline about needing bifocals, but I went with them anyway, as I only get new glasses every two years on my insurance, and I expect that by two years from now, I will be needing that magnification a lot more.

So I am all set to go, and then my insurance is marked as inactive and requires several phone calls to straighten out.  They take all of my info, and let me know that they will call me when they have the insurance stuff ready.  Today, I got a call from my carrier saying everything is fine, so I go on and...wait 20 minutes to find out that it's all just as screwed up as it was yesterday.

And this time, the doc remembers that I forgot to pay yesterday's co-pay. This just makes my day special, and I fret and fume a lot, alternating it with tight-lipped "I feel like crying" moments.  I really hate working this stuff out.  Tomorrow, I'll get on the phone again and see what I can do. 

Humph.  Maybe I just need to find the Tylenol and see if getting rid of the mild eyestrain headache actually improves my mood.
