Notice

Sometimes I don't notice things.

Like the time that I was on a cardioglide at L.A. Fitness very early in the morning and there was nobody else in the gym. Except for The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. Directly behind me. For over an hour. With three bodyguards.

And the time that I sent a funny Hallmark card with two old ladies on the front to my best friend in Saint Louis. Two years after I'd mailed her the exact same one.

Or, for instance, this morning, when I just now noticed that of the ninety pairs of disposable contacts I purchased months ago, I have precisely two left. Two. Disposable contacts that are not suitable to wear beyond a single day.

Right now I am wearing those two.

I mean, I will only be painting and handling power tools and going out for drinks with new friends this weekend. It's not like my eyesight will be that crucial.


Right?

I think I will take your advice, Steven...

Oops. See I have the opposite problem. I have the contacts that you change every two weeks, and I always forget to change them. SO I have a ton in my cabinet, and probably disgusting bacteria in my eyes. Last time I went to the eye doctor, he threw up in his mouth. Have a good (blind) weekend!

ughh, I always notice it's time to buy contacts too late as well. And of course I always notice after I've thrown away the old contacts and go reach for a new box only to discover they're all my husbands.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Brick, I know! I'm so mad at myself. Anyone have any ideas for nabbing quick contacts before the end of the day?

Hey, you can have a few of mine, I have like 70 packets sitting in my drawer!

As for not noticing things, I suspect you are just really focused on something else, right?
