First my quick story:
I went to get my eyes tested finally after my glasses have been broken for 4 months and I was waiting for my health insurance to kick in. I went to my usual doctor because I like her although she is very out of the way. Her assistant seemed kind of pissed that I didn’t have private insurance (that means no $400 frames for me, but I have enough of those already. I wasn’t even interested.)
So the assistant takes me alllllllllllll the way to the back corner of the store to find a new pair of frames.
Assistant: you have to pick a pair of glasses from here (she shows me a tiny section of glasses that are on a spinning display pushed ALL THE WAY to the back, behind the counter)
Me: (squinting because DUH I can’t really see that great) uhm, ok.
Assistant: (starts spinning the display SUPER FAST)
Me: (watching a blur of glasses) Uhm, can you slow down a bit? Can I see these? Can you slow down?
Assistant: (hella impatient) Which? Do you see a pair you like? (I could have sworn she “ughhed” under her breath lmao)
HAHA
This exchange is so funny, because last year when I came in at the exact same time, I ordered glasses that were retail value cheap and she didn’t really like me then either. But the year before that? When I was new? She was pushing $400 and $500 frames down my throat. I got something I liked, for $300 something. She must think I’m a product of my environment, HA!
So I got what I came for and I’m glad it’s covered.
My complaint: just like the LAST time I had this crap insurance, I am really pissed that things a doctor deems as necessary is NOT covered by the insurance. I shouldn’t have to come out of my pocket. That’s what this country FAILS to understand. I shouldn’t have to decide, well, I can’t afford this although my doctor tells me I need this. So I’ll go without because then maybe I won’t be able to pay a bill or buy food or something.
Ahhhhhh!!!
/rant.
Now on to my surprises!
On my way to the doctor, I got an email telling me that the super dope & oh so lovely Lynsey is featuring me today on her blog, Cuteable!!! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am! 
So check it out here.
And for the piece de resistance, I give you…
HOLLA!! Temple University. We’re just smarter. (haha)
What a day! I also did some free writing, but that’s for the private blog.
Be well.
