Any other contact lens wearers ever suspect that they’ve somehow gotten their contacts mixed up or popped one on inside out?

My eyes just didn’t feel right today, especially the left one, so I went to the ladies’ room to swap them around, but that just made it worse since I didn’t have my eye drops with me and had to use tap water with unknown chemical make up. This was clearly a mistake because I could tell right away that the swapped contacts not only didn’t correct my vision properly, they also didn’t fit my very astigmatic eyeballs at all. Out they came, and after another tap water rinse (bad idea take two because this completely stripped the slippery cushioning benefits of my contact soaking solution off of my lenses), I put them back in the original way only to find that the tap water had given the contacts the sticky consistency of Scotch tape. When I blinked to get the contacts to settle over my corneas, the stupid lenses got stuck to the insides of my eyelids instead and were dragged up to the top of my eyeballs.

My eyes were now not only blurry but bloodshot as well.

I tried to smoosh the contacts back down by massaging my eyelids after splashing more water on my face, blew my nose because it had started to run to go along with my watering eyes, and groped my way back to my desk where my bright monitor made my incipient left brain headache even worse.

It’s been about an hour now, and I can finally see again.

Why do I even bother? I’m going back to glasses, I swear. I don’t care if I’m a nerd as long as I have deltoids.

In workout news, I did TTfW Week 1 Workout A again today, but I bumped up my split squat weight to 30 lb dbells from 20 lbs. A Lucas Arts rep is visiting the office today, so I had to skip the HIIT cardio session after the workout, but I’ll hit it tomorrow morning.

Food is on track so far through meal 2. I had a banana, vanilla whey, strawberry, and light cranapple juice workout smoothie (same stats as my usual dextrose/whey shake, but a lot more satisfying) and my staple breakfast of raisin oats with egg whites.

Dinner will be a splurge meal at a South American restaurant called Pio Pio with Chris and some friends (including multi-talented artist and karaoke godling Ed S.), and then we are heading out to Gran Cru for some major karaoke action.

Such exciting times, I know.
