Fair warning.

I am handicapped today so get out of my way.

I am sailing through the day with only one functioning eye.

The one functioning eye has a contact lens in it as it does most days.
The non-functioning eye does not have a contact lens in it. On any normal day it would have one there.

But I had a serious contact malfunction in the middle of the night.

Sometime during the night my eye spit out the contact lens.

I wish it would have told me ahead of time so I could have planned by locating my glasses. Or at least told me when it did it so I wouldn

    Do I ever understand this! As always, you make a crisis situation into something clever and hilarious. Love it! Oh, and BTW, hope you find a contact soon and save the drivers of Florida.

    Love it! And all of us contact lens wearers are saying, “Been there, done that!”Hilarious stuff, although I sympathize heartily.
    Hope you find one soon and save the drivers of Florida.

    How I can sympathize! Been there, done that, no t-shirt. You make the experience sound funny. don’t know how you do that.

    In an age when contact lenses can be worn to bed, I find it amazing one of your lenses was on the bathroom floor. You eyeball must have found it’s way to your toes at some point during the night and when you stubbed your toe, it bounced back into it’s proper place, sadly leaving said lens behind. hmmm I wonder where your toe was at the time. At those hours in the morning, things REALLY need to be where they are supposed to be for me. Hope your eye feels better soon.

    I don’t think the other drivers are in danger of you as I’ve seen how Floridians drive. I have a bad habit of walking out of the house without my glasses so I know how you feel. The only contacts I have are those on Yahoo and I can’t ‘see’ them.

    It might be wise to have an extra set of contacts in the bathroom just in case. The other choice is to make everything small enough to be thrown out of soft material.

    Put a black patch over the eye and don an old ragged hat so you will look like a pirate of the car-ribbing.

    One word. Dollar Tree! Ok, that’s two words. I have at least 15 pair of readers in varying strengths from 150 to 225 scattered all over the place. Never had contacts. Seeing son’s fake eyeball flipped backwards cured me from ever wanting contacts. Glad it’s the weekend. Stay put until your eye decides to cooperate.

    Sorry about your eye! I will stay off Florida roads today. Oh wait – I am never on Florida roads. Kill me now.
    Again, only you could spin such a situation into funny. Awesome post!
