Ok, this is a second attempt at posting this information, as when I tried last week for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to close my browser before actually posting the entry. Perhaps I shouldn't be trying to update my blog while at work and things like this won't happen...
Now, Syracuse, Day 2. Well, it began innocently enough with a trip to the refrigerator to begin the rehydration portion of the day. Even though it was 8am and we had only gotten home at 4am for some reason Big B was awake as well. We opted to settle into what would be our daily battle position in the living room to watch some digital cable. I put my contacts in only to find out something was amiss. I thought perhaps in my drunken stupor I had mixed them up and placed the wrong ones in the wrong eyes, so I took them out, reversed them and tried again. This did not seem to be the case as my right eye vision was still somewhat blurred and now so was my left, so I switched them back. The left eye was a-ok, the right was not. At this point, I was exhausted from all that moving about and had to sit back down in the living room where we proceeded to watch hours of the digital radio stations. While we were watching we also discussed possible solutions to the fact that something was terribly wrong with my contact. I deduced that instead of throwing my old pair out with one left and one right, I instead mixed them up and ended up with two left contacts which were now in both of my eyes. We called my eye doctor to see if he could fax a prescription. His answer was a flat no, due to the fact that it had been 2 years since my last visit. We finally decided I would have to go to Wal-Mart and get my eyes checked again. I would like to note that at this point, we had been watching the digital radio for about 4 hours so it is obvious that we were not thinking clearly, possibly due to the previous drunken evening.
I finally pry myself up off of the fabulous leather chair which had become my home, to cleanse myself for the Wal-Mart visit. I decided to remove my contacts prior to getting the exam. When I removed my right contact, I noticed that in fact, two contacts have been in my eye the entire time. I still have no idea how that happened and have decided to chalk it up to a stupid drunken incident--at least by proxy. In any case, that left us free of having to visit a Wal-Mart that day and gave us more time to spend drinking Captain Morgan and Cokes later that afternoon and still not making it to the Great New York State Fair. More on day 2 to come...not that anyone cares, but me that is.
