Another One Bites the Dust

21 Jan 2004 By

I just washed a contact lens down the drain. It’s disposable, I have more, I can get more. It’s not a big deal, like it was my last one or anything.

I didn’t figure it out until after I’d poked at my eye for a few minutes (“Is it in there?”) and gotten it all red and irritated (“Must not be in there.”).

It’s not like it’s gonna swim down the drain and have a little adventure and meet back up with the other lens on the other side of the Great Eyeball.

I feel such a sense of loss. Bye bye, little contact lens. I’m off to see if I can drive without you.

    Of COURSE you can drive without it!!! You just keep that eye closed. I do it all the time when I drop one while steering madly on the interstate. Sure, you look kind of weird, but you do what you have to…

    LOL! I did the “one eye closed” thing many times back when I wore contacts. Fun, ain’t it? ;-)
