Necessary Objects

Recently I have been thinking a lot about sunglasses.

Specifically, a pair of Ray-Ban Classic Wayfarer Sunglasses - Tortoise with Green Lens. They are sort of a summer staple around the Chicago area. Just walk down Diversey Parkway on a sunny, Saturday and you'll find plenty of sophisticated Lincoln Park trixies sporting a pair of sweet shades. (Too much alliteration there? Super.)

I have been keeping my eye on everything from BlueFly to Groupon for some sort of coupon that will give me monetary motivation to actually purchase this eyewear I have been idolizing. However, I am trying to keep my current spending to stictly essential items: Pinot Grigio, Lean Cuisines, gasoline, and ostomy supplies.

A year ago, I never could have told you what a two-piece pouching system was or even attempted to guess what Adapt paste or a barrier ring was. (Altough it sounds like Barrier Reef which is someplace I imagine snorkeling, which I imagine I would need a boat to get to, thus requiring a pair of sunglasses...but I digress.)

These days my monthly UPS package of Hollister ostomy supplies has become like Christmas in July.  1" Wafers, pouches, curved scissors, and stoma sizing tools are quite simply the most overused adjective in the English language...amazing. They have allowed me so much freedom to go and just soak in the sunshine of a beautiful day, enjoy a dinner date with my fiance, commute to work without anxiety, and just LIVE! So who knows? Maybe this payday I'll put aside some cash towards a pair of summertime specs. Because you know what? My future is looking pretty bright.
