I missed a call yesterday from the optician saying my new glasses are ready, so I didn't learn this was the case until after they closed. This has me a little crazy that I could be rid of my scratched-up old pair already, so I can't wait to head over today and pick up the new pair. They've been a problem for quite some time now with no such sense of urgency, but now that I'm this close (*holds fingers really close together*) to a solution, I no longer have any patience for this situation.
