I went out to a fancy shin-dig this weekend. I wore an appropriately fancy dress which really didn’t match my glasses—so I put in contacts instead of wearing said glasses. Here’s the problem: the last two times I have worn my contacts, I have woken up in the middle of the night—very suddenly and horror-stricken—because I had forgotten to take the contacts out. And, by that point, my eyelids were sticking together like melting gummy bears. (I’m intimately familiar with melting gummy bears–that’s a whole different story.)
So I got smart this time. While I was putting my contacts in, I called Erin over to make me a little reminder note for my bathroom mirror. She was slightly confused, but ever the cooperative child, she complied. Lo and behold, it worked! Even though I had consumed an entire bottle a couple of glasses of wine, I remembered to take my contacts out at the end of the night. #oldpeoplewinning
