So I had to take the day off again. If I counted correctly, that makes ten days since I was first hired on February. This is probably going to come up when I get my employee evaluation in January.
I was able to get my eye exam at Costco today. The eye doctor told me that my vision has actually improved since the last time my eyes were checked, over six years ago. I had my eyes dilated and the drop could last up to eight hours, so the doctor said to take the day off.
When she examined my eyes, the eye doctor also performed a retinal photo on each eye. She wanted to show me that I had what she called a "freckle" on the back of one of my eyes. She did not think it was anything serious but did advise me to get my eyes checked again in a year and to be sure to check the "freckle" again to be sure it wasn't anything serious.
The Lord answered my prayer that I was going to be able to get my glasses covered by my insurance. Costco Optical wouldn't take it, LensCrafters wanted too much money out of pocket and didn't seem sure about my insurance. I wound up going to Walmart in Porter Ranch, which not only took my insurance, but also had glasses that met my demands; that is, plastic frames and actually fit my head without feeling too snug.
I was getting frustrated with Costco Optical, and even more so with LensCrafters. LensCrafters was especially frustrating was they not only couldn't confirm my insurance, but their markup was absurd. There were a couple of times where I had to stop and pray that God would help me to be patient. I think God has been testing my patience a lot lately to show me how much my patience and trustin Him need to grow. Pray for me in this area.
Still, I have a lot to be thankful for. Things are generally improving at work, I got my new glasses (in seven to ten business days), and God is causing me to grow. Now, if I would stop neglecting to have fellowship with my brothers and sisters…I guess that's something else to pray about.
