It's hot and it's been a bad day!

Warning! This is a rant, just a general bad day rant.
Started today out pretty good, right up till about 10AM when I attempted to clean my glasses, at which point they snapped in half.
I’m unable to see without my glasses so I was a bit frantic. Decided to try putting in some contacts that I still had (same prescription), something I haven’t done in about 2 years. That was fun, took me about 15 minutes to get them in.
So then, about two hours later I decided to put some eye drops in to lubricate the lenses as my eyes felt dry. That was a mistake because either the lens in my right eye fell out while I did this or rolled up in the back of the eye, I don’t know which but either way I was unable to see out of my right eye.
I had my wife take me to the mall where there are two eye shops to see about fixing the frames but they couldn’t and they said they couldn’t reuse my lenses either because the weren’t bought at their store.
So, thankfully my new medical insurance threw in some vision care, which helped out but new frames, a set of anti-reflective lenses, and a 2-year warranty (against this kind of thing) ran me $170! The insurance paid either just under or just over half the total bill. That, quite frankly is ridiculous, I went with a fairly cheap set of frames too. Why oh why does everything cost so much?!
To top that all off, the temp here is a comfortable 97!
End of rant.
