My reading glasses broke yesterday evening, without provocation. It’s a good thing that it only happened in the evening, because life is hard without them. I made do without glasses for the first hour in the office today and headed out to Liljeholmsgallerian as soon as the shops opened, to get myself a pair of new ones.<\/p>\n

I still can’t be bothered to spend the time or money to go to an optometrist for a proper assessment. Just trying on a few different pairs of reading glasses at a pharmacy and buying the ones that feel best is totally good enough.<\/p>\n

I guess I’ll get used to it, like I did with the previous pair.<\/p>\n
