Back to Beautiful.

For five weeks now, I have been wearing my glasses.

And for five weeks now, I've been feeling totally DRAB.

Somehow, wearing glasses brings me back to the sixth grade when I had frizzy hair and big ole frames and my eyes were the size of quarters through my lenses. Needless to say, I'm very insecure when wearing them.

I even painted my nails to feel better!

Turns out, I've been having an allergic reaction to my contact solution. You know, the contact solution I've been using since LAST FEBRUARY? Yeah, that's the one.

If I were accepting an award for the worst vision in Seattle,
here's what I would say:

"I'd just like to say thanks again to Opti-Free Replenish for all of the days my eyes were blood red and I thought I was getting pink eye. Thanks for making me think I was losing my vision by staring at the computer screen when I started work in January. Thanks for causing my eyes to be so sensitive to light that I would go squinting and yearning to wear sunglasses indoors for weeks at a time. Thanks for making me think my eyes were overly dry and being there to help when I squirted you in each eye multiple times during the day for moisture. Oh, and thanks especially for the white, puss-filled sores that made my corneas' surfaces both raw and extremely sensitive for almost ten months and which, conveniently, don't clear up until I've been wearing my glasses for five consecutive weeks and I've been to the ophthalmologist three times during those five weeks. Yeah, thanks."

Oh THANK YOU, Opti-Free Replenish, for making my life a living hell for the past five weeks. For the past ten months! Thanks to you, I now get to switch to a more complicated system of wearing and washing contact lenses. YIPPEE HOORAY!

Boy, am I feeling sarcastic today!

Boy, am I on my way to glamor sans my glasses!
