Contacts
I made a major life change today, getting contact lenses after decades of wearing glasses. I started noticing that I get eye strain headaches every day, which isn't surprising, what with my current prescription being over six years old.
The glasses I wear today were purchased from a shop in The Falls in Miami. It was the day that my daughter, a toddler at the time, incensed at being carried out of a toy store, caught me with a mean right hook that sent my eyeglasses flying -- in two pieces -- across the store.
The most entertaining part of the day would have been the part where Jen tried to coach me on inserting the contact lenses for the first time. She had me bent over a mirror on the table, saline solution all over the place, frustrated that I wouldn't just let HER put them in every morning for me, so she wouldn't have to watch one more friggin' attempt.
Of course, Jen's very excited about the change, as the only times she's seen me without glasses, I've also been nekkid!
