feels like ouchy
My eyes are burning and blurry, and my vision is worse now that it was two days ago. I've come to a conclusion in these last two days that I had very nearly approached previously anyway, but had not yet compeltely made up my mind on:
Contacts are the devil!!
But sadly, they are a necessary evil.
I had to fork over my glasses to get new and properly working lenses in them. This means that I am forced into contacts for the time being. I had used them before but only when absolutely necessary. I like my glasses. I can take them on and off whenever I want and my eyes can breathe all the time. The down side to them though is that they get in the way when I kiss my husband, they slide down my nose when I am sweating, and I cannot wear sun glasses.
SO! Aside from the fact that I am forced into them now, I know I need them anyway, especially for running around sunny hot Japan for the next while.
In the mean time, I am test driving three kinds. The first day I had one kind in each eye and then had some disposables to try later. I have decided I hate the night and day brand that I supposedly could wear for a month straight. After day and a half and way too many trips to the mirror to drop eye drops in my eyes, I've decided they are no good. Tomorrow I'll try this new hydraclear business again, and then we'll do a disposable on wed, just in time to make up my mind by thursday so I can order gobs to take to Japan with me. Just gotta find a brand that sticks well to my "unusually flat corneas for someone who is near sighted."
Woot.
On a separate issue: A week from now I'll have been in the air for roughly 8 hours!! Though the mere thought of this drains me, I'm still so excited. ..
There was supposed to be an exclamation point there, but I find that work, constantly answering the same questions about being excited to leave, being separated AGAIN from Maurice, and my readiness to leave certain people here, seems to be eating away at parts of me and therefore I lack excitement for many things these days. When I get home from work where I am extremely cheerful and animated all day for my customers, I tend to want to be left alone and not want to talk to anyone -- a thing that Maurice could tell you, is very unusual for me.
GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!

freaky... you've described my life before I left too. people ask STUPID questions don't they?! before I left, the common question was: "are you excited about seeing angus". I did actually tell one person that I wasn't in the slightest looking forward to going overseas, and being apart from angus had been sweet so I wasn't that excited about seeing him. they laughed and told me I was a funny person.
I used to wear contacts, but gave up as my eyes weren't really that bad, and I didn't want to rely on them. i also became addicted to eye drops during this stage, and am actually still trying to ween myself off them (true, ask maurice!). I tried two types, disposable, which is very convenient for someone who loses things often (me) and the monthly ones, which were convenient for someone who is forgetful and sometimes forgot to take them about before falling asleep (also me). good luck with the search!
