• Blindness

   This past weekend, one of my contacts ripped.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any more to wear.  I realized that it was about time that I go back to the eye doctor.  I'm a little embarrassed about how long it's been since I've seen an eye doctor and even more embarrassed about my prescription. The doctor basically told me that I shouldn't wear my contacts all the time if I don't want my eyesight to be poorer than it already is which I know is common sense.  I only wear my glasses when I'm at home, and that's usually right before I go to bed.  So from now on, when I get home from work, I'll immediately take my contacts out and put my glasses on.  Even on the weekends, I'll try to wear my glasses as much as possible.  I definitely need to give my eyes a rest.  In order to ensure that I achieve this goal, I purchased some really cute red frames that I wouldn't mind wearing around.  I get to pick up new contacts and my glasses this Friday! 

  So, I can just get it out in the open, here's my prescription...

  right eye: -9.75
  left eye: -10.00

  Yes. I know. I'm practically blind.

  Speaking of blindness - I saw the movie Blindness after I read the book by Jose Saramago. The book is WAY more amazing. The movie was just eh ok.  If you haven't already read it, you must.  I couldn't put it down!
