The cure for said blindness!

I had an eye appointment to 1: Renew my contacts, and 2: To get glasses that actually work!

In the year or so since my last visit, both my eyes have gotten worse, but now they are equally bad! This is good news because I don't need to worry about right/left contacts.

I haven't worn glasses (that were of a good prescription) since I got contacts, which was 3-4 years ago, so I'm kind of excited to finally wear them again, and it'll be really nice to have them for when contacts can't be used.

Do you wear corrective lenses?

Sickness is a disease (For the body and soul)

About a week ago, Sunday, I came down with a pretty bad 24-hour flu or something, and by Monday I was feeling almost completely better. The next day, I noticed something strange, it was getting worse, not better, with a fever coming back. Apparently I caught something else right after. I wouldn't have minded so much, except for Choir tour (to Disneyland) started the next day.

By Wednesday, I was feeling alright, with no fever, so I decided to go on tour anyways. The entire time, I had a runny nose and a cough. I seriously had an amazing time overall, but every time I had to blow my nose again in front of my friends, it honestly made me feel bad that I had to put them through this. The worst, though, was on the bus rides, when there was no way to keep from bothering them. A couple of times I ended up with a row to myself (mainly due to my choice), and somehow I just get really depressed, being alone yet still bothering others with coughs and nose noises around me.

I think one of the things about the sickness that really affected me was how it seemed to limit my ability to make conversation because 1: Being sick makes you want to rest and not concentrate on anything, and 2: Coughing and blowing your nose doesn't help when you're talking to others and vise-versa.

 In the end, I know that, while I may have bothered them a bit, I shouldn't have been feeling that way, I'm sure it was basically just a result of prolonged sickness.

We still managed to have sooo much fun anyways!

P.S. I am still sick with it to this day....

P.P.S. This post is rather depressing compared to the other ones...

Blindness!!!

I have the contacts that you can sleep in for up to a month. As a result, I can see perfectly fine for a whole month!! (usually more, though, cause I forget/am lazy)

Yesterday just so happened to be that day, and all I can say is, I'm blind!!! I haven't checked in a long time, but my eyes are somewhere around 20/400. When people I know are in the room, I can barely recognize them, and there's no way for me to know what direction they are looking.

I then put on my glasses, and, while they helped, the fact is, is that the prescription for them is from many years ago, and with them on, I'm pretty sure it's Illegal for me to drive (although I did anyways)
