i deserve Cheetos
>> Wednesday, February 11, 2009
So I decided to have Cheetos for dessert tonight, does that tell you what kind of day I am having?
It really started last night, when my eyes began to bother me. I chalked it up to exhaustion and went to bed. When the alarm sounded, I noticed my vision was extremely blurry. I splashed cold water on my eyes, meditated and went down for my morning yoga, anyway.
Although the whole time I exercised, I obsessively thought about my eye problem which I was sure was pink eye. I then thought about how my child's eyes seemed red the previous night and I decided I had probably given the whole house my conjunctivitis. Then came the issue of when I could get us all to our respective doctor's offices for prescriptions, let alone the $8 eye liner I had just bought and would have to throw out.
After exercising and obsessing, I came back up to brush my teeth and put in my contacts. I decided the glasses could wait until I had a diagnosis.
When I went to get my contacts, I realized the lids had been left off the case. How could I forget to put in solution? I squinted into the deep wells, picturing small little dried up contacts, but the case was empty. Where were my contacts?
I glanced around the bathroom. I guess I thought they could be just sitting out on a counter somewhere. It was then I decided to look closely in the mirror. Yes, I was wearing the stupid contacts the whole time.
That's why my eyes hurt last night and why I woke up with blurry vision. That's why I obsessed through yoga about putting drops in my toddler's eyes.
It's time for Cheetos.
