Corrective Lenses Required

I've had my glasses now for about 3 years. At first I was wearing them because I couldn't see the board at school, then it was to drive. Now I need them if I don't want objects 5 feet in front of me all blurry. I recently received my drivers license renewal form in the mail, and noticed a little box indicating I needed to pass an eye exam. Fuh. I knew I wouldn't pass. I contemplated making a Dr's appointment so the eye Dr could pass me, but with my lovely high deductible plan I would have had to pay the full $90 for the visit. I decided to take my chances with the DMV. I failed. Horribly. After I missed 4 out of 12, I asked the woman if I could do it with my glasses on. That's right, I tried to pass it without my glasses. She thought I was hilarious that I tried, and failed, with out my glasses. Finally the next day I called to make an appointment with the eye Dr to get fitted for contacts. I've been fighting this day because 1) it means I'm getting old 2) the cost and 3) I'm so going to forget to put them in everyday! I have my second appointment tomorrow and then they let me take home a pair for a week and test them out. If I do well they will order me a supply. And the dr was nice enough to send a little form telling the DMV to F off and take off that little checked box that says "Corrective Lenses Required"! It's soooo depressing!! I'm getting old!
