just one of those days.

This morning as I lying in bed trying to wake up I listened to the rain slamming against the bedroom window. Yuck. It was still dark and that made it even worse.

When I left for class it wasn't raining that hard so I decided to leave my umbrella at home. My jacket is waterproof and I figured I'd be fine since it's only 3 blocks from the street I park on to the big building with the classrooms. I had my umbrella in my hand and actually set it back down. Half way to class it was raining so hard I could hardly see, even with the million layers of RainX on the windshield. Yeah. I got wet walking to class.

Last night I told Jesse I need to make an eye appointment soon because I would be putting the last pair of contacts into my eyes this morning. This morning I put the last pair of contacts in my eyes. As I was sitting in class my left eye started bugging me. I rearranged my contact a little bit and it helped for a minute. I figured I had an eyelash or something in my eye. After class I went to Meijer to get some groceries. As I was driving down the freeway in the pouring rain I realized that my left eye was all messed up and I really couldn't see very well. All of a sudden it dawned on me that my brand new last contact probably had a rip in it. After shopping at Meijer I sat in the car and took my brand new last contact out of my left eye and sure enough, right in the middle there was a tear. I put it back in because without something to correct some sort of vision I wouldn't have been able to see to get home. And of course since my vision was all messed up, I started to get sick to my stomach.

Now I'm home. I am wearing my glasses that are probably 3 or 4 prescriptions old and am trying to deal with the fact that tonight I'm going to have to go to one of those one-hour places to get contacts. Yuck. I would like to think I've learned my lesson and will not wait until I only have one pair of contacts left to even make a phone call to an eye doctor. But I'm sure it will happen again. Hopefully next time I'll have a good pair of glasses to fall back on.

Time to make lunch and since I can't see very well, maybe I'll take a nap. Rainy days are good for that.
