contacts are not always fun...

Most of you probably didn't know this, but I have been having problems with my contacts. It all started one Monday night during orchestra. My left eye started hurting, itching, and I was having trouble seeing out of it. The girl who sits next to me said my eye was all red. Well, I took my contacts out as soon as I got home. I figured I must have just gotten something in my eye or under my contact. My eye was pretty sore so I wore glasses for a few days. Then I put my contacts back it, and the same thing happened. I decided I should switch to a new pair of contacts to be safe. Well, I'd just gotten a new box from Walmart. Well, the first day I wore them there was absolutely no trouble. But that only lasted for one day. They started giving me headaches, I was having trouble with both of my eyes, and there were times I couldn't see very well at all.
I wondered if I have gotten a bad box of contacts, or maybe the wrong contacts. So, I called Walmart and explained everything to the nurse. She checked my records and said I got the right contacts, and she had never heard anyone say they were having the troubles, I had and that there was something wrong with my eyes, and I needed to see the eye doctor asap. Right, AAAHHH!!!!!!!

So, I finally got in to see the doctor on Thursday. And I am VERY pleased to report that there is NOTHING wrong with my eyes. The doctor said that I probably got a mislabeled contacts. So, I was right in the first place... I should be an eye doctor, I wonder how much money they make....

So, in the end, I paid money to be told that I got a bad set of contacts... at least my tax check is coming to pay for it. AND, the doctor gave me a prescription for a new type of contacts called Acuvue Osyas, they are the most comfortable contacts I have ever worn. They feel GRR8!!

I am so thankful that my eyes are all right, I was worried there for a while....

Spring has sprung!!!

I'm so happy!! It was 70 degrees on Tuesday!!!! Most of the snow we got, only 2 weeks ago.

There are green stems starting to poke their heads through the wet earth.



Makes me think of that song.
"When I see that little lily
pushing up that heavy clod
then I marvel at the wisdom of my God"

It's so nice to not have to bundle up just to go to your car. Or walk around the house with extra clothes on to keep warm. I LOVE spring!!!!


Of course now that I am finally posting this 2 days later. We had sleet and a little bit of snow last night. hehe.. But what do you expect, it's March.
