Thanks, Nessie. It actually worked out cheaper (with insurance etc) than a new pair of glasses!

Lows: Almost all of my investments sinking in value
Highs: Further advancing in my profession, Obama's election, witnessing the dismay of the blindly Republican supporting right wing faction on these boards thereafter (I'm still laughing about that)
