I'm not sure what they've done in recent years but the last couple brands I tried stuck like glue to my eyes and scared the crap out of me trying to remove them as the old pinch and release trick did not work. I was really worried I wasn't going to be able to get them out and afraid I would scratch my eye even though my fingernails weren't that long so was being very careful not to pinch too hard. Not sure how I did it but finally got them out and gave up on wearing contacts. Apparently there is a trick of holding them with your finger while you're looking forward and then moving just your eye to the side so that it puts the contact on the white of your eye instead and then they're easier to pop out. Might have been a second part to those instructions but my cousin told me theres a YouTube video for it.
I don't know how you people can stick those things against your eyeballs. :umm:
I have a steep curve to my eyeball, so contacts just float on top. I don't know if they make bigger or steeper contacts, but until I find out, I'm stuck with these huge spectacles.

It's GORGOUS out there right now. It's starting to get humid down here, though. Humidity will bring on a full body sweat much more efficiently than heat.
It's been really beautiful here too. Today, on my way home from work I saw a couple people out in their yards gardening and sprucing up their yards. It made me happy.
Spring has officially sprung in my little town. :encouragement:

Happy Hump Day. For me it's back to work day my vacation is over. :upside:
The worst day. I did that this week, or last Sunday. It wasn't as bad a day as I had thought it would be. Just thinking about going back to work after vacation is worse than actually going back. Hugs.... Thanks for encouraging me on my first day back.
Paying it forward back to you. :encouragement:

Sundrop - loving the purple daisy! So sad to hear about his Royal Badness. Such a loss!:down:
cat in a bag - how'd the eye doc go?? Does OoO look fuzzy in his avatar to you?:rolleyes:
Kurben - sounds like you got some much needed sleep! Hoping you get back on schedule soon.
