Rambling

Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness, of captivity, would, without this comfort, be unsupportable. ~ Samuel Johnson

First, I am appalled that I have not written since July. I have entries I have begun, but not completed. I am SLACKING! Or....maybe I'm just relaxing a bit more and have nothing to rant about. Despite the cause, I am horrified.

Now, what has prompted me to commence writing. I don't even feel like I can go into full detail...I'm a bit drained at the moment. I have actually had to begin transforming from Summer Sloth to Workaholic Witch....school responsibilities in Nags Head (120 miles round trip) three times this week (2 down, 1 more to go). Upon returning today, I found out that a girl that I went to high school with had been in a diabetic coma since Monday. She is a year older than me and has a daughter who, I think, is starting high school this year. Hubby grew up with her. She still isn't out of the woods as far as her health issues so please keep her in your prayers. After finding out that news, I found out that our 23 yr. old cousin may have MS. She has a 4 yr. old daughter. Some more tests are going to be done so please keep her in your prayers as well.

Completely random comment here: I just got contacts. I have my week-check-up tomorrow. I plan to discuss this with the dr., but I also thought I'd get some info from all you contact wearers who read my drivel. After wearing the lenses for a bit, is it normal for you to feel like there's an eyelash or something in your eye? Are my eyes not moist enough? Any advice?

I wondered what had happened to you. I will be praying along with everyone else but now for two.

As far as the contacts go, yes, it does sometimes feel like an eyelash or sand in your eye. It may be dry eye (considering the wind and dust here, whose eyes aren't dry) so you might try some natural tears. They are just saline drops so they are harmless. I haven't had lenses for a long time but when I did, I remember those feelings. It should get better the longer you wear them. The cleaner the lenses, the better they feel. Good luck! Miss seeing you.
