A Series Of Painfully Red Eye Events
The jewel clock placed on our TV cabinet pointed to 9:30pm. It was past The Player’s bed time.
He picked up his mobile phone and said, “Good night, Darryl” as he headed towards his bedroom. He giggled and finally uttered, “I can’t believe what guys would do to make themselves look good” before shutting his room door.
That dude was obviously laughing at the pain I had a run with my first day of wearing contact lenses. In a brief take, it took me 30 minutes to successfully insert the lens into my left eye and a bloody unsuccessful hour into the right side.
************************
The Player and I planned for an evening drive around the suburbs as it was shopping night.
After my afternoon shower, I tried putting my contact lenses on for my left eye. The Player hit the showers. It took me half an hour to put on the left lens. I then took a 15 minute break to cool the redness down. By then, The Player was ready and headed downstairs to start his car. Then I told him I’ll be down in 10 minutes as I struggle to insert the right lens into my eyes.
30 minutes have just gone by so quickly. The Player came back upstairs, peered into my room and attempted to conceal his laughter as he saw me struggling with the lenses.
“Looks like this is gonna take some time. I’d better watch Bold And The Beautiful first,” he said. I nodded in frustration.
Another 30 minutes gone. I could hear the Bold And The Beautiful end credits theme being played outside. I gave up.
I signalled The Player I was ready to go. And off we went.
He burst out when he found out I only had one side on.
************************
I attempted to take out my lenses when we arrived back home at about 8:45pm.
I only succeeded at 2am.
haha!! you will soon get use to it! good luck! I have been wearing contact lenses for 8 years, I take less than 30sec to put both side on. Practice makes (everything) perfect. =)

Yesterday’s lesson: I will not put contact lenses anymore. It’s too painful. My poor sensitive eyes.
Yes he gets to work at 5am. Hey, besides what’s “normal” time to get to bed?
