Eyewear malfunction
At the gym this morning, I went to take my glasses off my face so that I would wipe the perspiration from my brown and they broke in half at the bridge.

I've got them taped, but they're not very secure, so the lenses are not in the proper position. I'm starting to get dizzy because the vision is not quite right (though much better than w/ nothing at all).

I'm way overdue for an eye exam, but I have to buy my son's glasses first, and I'm not sure where I'm going to find the money for that.

I may have an old pair at the home (same prescription) but I'm almost tempted to stop at the optician's and see if I can't get this frame replaced.

*sigh* Today feels too much like Monday.

1. If the bridge is thick enough, you could
try superglue.

Or if not, maybe a blob of epoxy. Put them on a counter (with the earpieces out) and make sure the lenses are lined up until the epoxy sets.

Just until you get to the optician's, that is.
