in the morning

After over a week of waiting, I'll be trying on a pair of contact lenses. The previous pair had been in my eyes barely a week when infection struck, so they're gone. What a waste: each pair (I've got a yar's worth of disposables) is supposed to last a month.

At least, with the contacts back in, I won't have to worry about going blind every time I lean over a bowl of hot soup.
