Glasses in scarlet_dragon

This week marks back to school for my teenager. I said something in the car to that affect and he bit of my head. He then tried to play it off that he was trying to make a joke but I know he was just being a jerk and felt bad then. I’d have thought he’d be at least excited to be back and doing something with his days. I dunno.
It is unfortunate that he has two days of school this week and then next Monday needs to leave early from school for a dentist and a doctors appointment. But that’s how it fell. Such is life.
He actually got a call back from local grocery store this afternoon to go in for a job interview tomorrow. I know things will be kinda crazy for a few months until we have a second car then but I also think it’ll be good for him. I hope he gets this one because it’s a smaller store and sure he will still have to generally deal with assholes probably it’ll be a little easier on him than one of the bigger stores.
I can’t even wrap my head around him with a license now and possibly a job. It’s like these last few years are rapidly speeding up.
I’d be lying if I’m not kind of looking forward to October I’m suppose to go help out back home where my Mom lives because she’s having surgery. It would just give me a chance to have a break from these two. I love them of course but dont we all need a break and a moment to ourselves sometimes? I honestly miss the days when my spouse was active duty and when my kid would run onto the school bus I’d have 7 hours to myself. It was nice.
Anywho, I got up earlier then usual because I had to go to the further away eye glass place to have them put my prescription sunglasses lenses into my old frames. So that took a half hour. My son wanted to come along to see what kind of glasses they had there at that store but he didn’t see anything. I keep telling him I spent a big portion on contacts and was honestly just wanting to grab a pair from Zenni to have in case of days when he already takes out his lenses earlier or just wants a break from them.
I also had picked up my new glasses last week and upon coming home realized there were spots where the black marker was left in the edge of the lenses and you could see it through the frames. So she fixed it gave them back to me and I’m sitting there and look at the one lens is popped half out on the front so I had to go back up there and ask her to fix that then too.
My biggest pet peeve in life sometimes is when tasks that should be a one and done, aren’t. Like I’ve now been to the eye doctor way more then I wanted to in a year and I’m tired of it lol. But I’ll probably go back again to order contacts once my son tries his trial lenses. I wanted him to use up his old pairs first seeing as how expensive they are before we place a new order for the new ones.
The place where the eye store out of town is has an Ollies two doors down so we stopped in there after my appointment. They are a junk store for sure, but sometimes I find some good deals here and there.
I’ve been debating about rounding up all my makeup and selling off most of it. I know, I know. I spend so much of my time and money buying shit but I never use any of it and then it sits and goes bad. I dunno if anything I might sell off most my eyeshadow palettes I own because I don’t use them at all. I had a new liquid eyeshadow from Armani that I tried yesterday and honestly it blends out like a dream and gives me a nice easy eye look that’s more my speed. They are expensive too almost $40 for a small bottle but Im more apt to use that. I dunno. I need to start being more realistic about my expectations that I put onto “stuff” like the perfect lipstick will finally make everything right, it won’t. Will I keep looking? Yes probably.
I can just kinda recall being late teens and was living 4-6 days out of the week with my bf at the time in his apartment and I owned very little in the way of that kind of stuff and was fine. I miss the days before social networking made you feel more shitty about yourself. Everyone’s answer is to quit consuming it. Believe me I try, it’s hard. It might be worse then sugar in my getting rid of it.
I guess I’m just longwinded tonight and say all of this to kind of start really thinking about what’s important in my life, and the mass amounts of makeup I have sitting aren’t it.
