Unbelievable

There are days when I swear I am the luckiest person ever.

I got home from visiting my Grandmother and immediately went to take out my contacts, because my eyes were itching. I am a little tired, and in a clumsy move, I dropped my right contact. Right into a sinkfull of water that was in the process of draining.

I panicked and immediately closed the valve, which isn't very effective. The rest of the water slowly drained out, but I couldn't find my contact anywhere. I safely removed and cleaned the left contact and looked for my backup.

Unfortunately, my backup has become a lovely shade of orange. I have no idea how this has happened, but there is no way I am going to put an orange contact into my eye. I like my vision, flawed as it may be.

I found my perscription and went to look into ordering another contact. This is harder than it sounds, because my vision is so bad, I have to specially order contacts. 1-800-contact.com didn't list my brand in the proper power.

I was a little pissed off at myself, but mostly in shock that I could do something so stupid. I mean, I haven't had that long of a day. I went back into the bathroom to just the sink just in case. I reopened the valve and there was my contact!.

It was just unbelievable. It must have gotten stuck in the valve when I closed it. I soaped it up and rinsed it off very throughly and put it in the disinfectant solution with the left one.

I am so, so relieved. I think I'll go ahead and order another set of contacts, though. Maybe I can switch brands back to the last ones, which were much more comfortable. I just feel so incredibly lucky right now.
