Time, Equipment and Eyeglasses - A Bit of This and That

I actually slept until my alarm went off today - a rarity. But, that means I'm rushed and today will be a short and sweet post since I need to leave for the pool in slightly over 1/2 hour. Over the weekend I realized my digital watch was being more stubborn than usual, so I kept an eye on it. I gave up on actually having it adjustable for Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time long ago. It's impossible to actually easily set the darned thing, although it was marvelous for keeping track of my swimming laps. However, it was losing time - a lot of time - even though it was charged. Since setting it is an "act of the Almighty and not for the common man", I gave up, but it kept losing time and I actually need a functional watch. 

My watch of the past year or so kept losing time and 
it's a total bear to actually set, so I gave up and ordered 
a new digital watch that will survive the swimming 
pool from Amazon. It should arrive later this week 
or early next and I can hardly wait to have a 
functional watch again. 

Thus, once again, I was shopping the pages of Amazon. I ordered a new digital watch that will survive swimming, and added a small food/spice grinder to the order as well. I need to powder the dried chili peppers I've made with the dehydrator. This is one package I'm looking forward to getting in a few days. 

I ordered this food grinder. It was less than 
$25, and should do the job. It had decent 
reviews and the accompanying videos were 
quite helpful. I think I have exactly enough 
room for it in my lower cabinet. 

Tomorrow will be hectic - I pick up my favorite (and oldest) set of eyeglass frames from the optician tomorrow. I had them do new lenses for it. That will give me a total of four sets of eyeglasses, and I'm really enjoying all of them. I'm wearing them one week at a time, then switching to the next set. Glasses are a fashion statement, just like the clothes you chose to wear that day. So, I'm quite pleased to have choices available to me once again. 

I've gotten eyeglasses from Zenni in the past, but 
I was unimpressed with the quality of the 
frames and the choices I had. I went back to my 
local optical shop because even though they cost 
more (a lot more), I like their quality. 

Chickie got two new sets of glasses from Zenni within the past month, and one set has already broken. It's a good thing she got two sets of them. She'll be wearing her less favorite set today when she comes to work. She's very metal sensitive and can't wear metal earpieces, so the ones she has to choose from are inherently less stable. But it's a bummer that it didn't even last for a month. 

I'm running a bit tight on time right now, so have to 
get moving to get to the pool on time. Have an excellent 
Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow. 

On that note, I have to get going. I actually slept until my alarm went off today, so I'm a bit tight on time. Have an excellent day and Slava Ukraini. I'll be back tomorrow.
