Actually, the problem is that my pupils are dilated. Looking outside hurts. The lights are off, the brightness on the screen is turned down... and my eyes are feeling very dry and annoyed at me. Also, I can't focus on anything close up, which is a problem since the work I have to do is reading. Maybe I should go to the gym NOW rather than later and hopefully by the time I get home the drops will have worn off. Yeah, that's the ticket!
My "Eye Care Advisor" at Lenscrafters was such a typical old Catholic lady, only not so old (55). I heard about how her 35 year old son is living with his fiancée, that he needs gastric bypass survery, that he lives in the Twin Cities, that she was a preemie (3 pounds something) and that her dad had to choose to save her life or her mom's but not both (but they both survived), that her mom made multiple pilgrimages to the Shrine of Saint Anne de Beaupré because she'd been told there was no way she'd ever get pregnant, that 5 years ago she (the advisor) seemed to be pregnant but really it was breast cancer that was hiding behind her nipple and no scans were showing it (really. she mentioned her nipple.) and that somehow in the course of her cancer treatment they discovered a heart problem and if they hadn't she wouldn't have survived the chemo and onandonandonandon. I got the impression that the doctor and the other staff were not big fans of hers, either.

baronessmartha, I did get to see polaroids of my retinas! How cool is that??????
