Once I finish this shift, I'll be on vacation. So, yay.

(Bonus: before I leave, I get to chew somebody out for really stupid on-the-job behavior. Believe me, it's richly deserved.)

I'm never really happy happy, but I did get new contacts today. I can see better, because now I can have a persripton for each eye, in the contact type I need. But they are still not comfy, like. I won't be wearing them all the time.

So, mixed. I'm glad you are happy bunnyfire.

Rainbaby, are these your first contacts or just different ones? Maybe they will be more comfy when you are used to them?

Different ones. I haven't had a new contact perscription in years. My vision is quite stable. I was hoping technology had improved in the last four five years, and they are better, but I'm just not a contact gal. Slightly dry eyes and a slight astigmatism. It's a shame, because my vision isn't particularly bad. I'm hoping to practice and get used to them more.

I've never been comfortable with putting things in my eyes. I don't know how you guys do it. But I do hope, rainy, that your new eyes feel better soon.

I'm happy today, strangely. Been thinking a lot about what it means to be happy and I find that generally I am. Today I finished a web site - well, hit all my deadlines for now - and I don't have to deal with it for another week or so. YEY!

I hope everyone else has at east something to be yippie about. SPRING IS COMMING!

I am happy because I am on vacation until next Friday (I'm a little worried at what will happen while I'm gone but, eh, won't worry about that until I get back) and my sisters arrive tomorrow morning!

I have never considered contacts, but yesterday was the first time in years that I misplaced my glasses ... big little scare there even though I have three spare pairs, only the one was a current prescription. And I have such an awesome view that any blurred vision is just so much no fun. Glasses finally found, but now today I'm suffering from all 5 steps of the Pepto Bismol dance, still I'm enjoying the Food Foto Friday vicariously. Not yet in my happy place, but I can see it from here.

I'm happy because I believe life now is great. My husband and baby son are both splendid, sweet and healthy; my sister and her family are doing great; my brother has a girlfriend; my parents are in their 70's and still traveling the world and looking after everyone and I'm having a blast being a mom after doing the big career thing for a long time. So, the people I love are happy, so I'm really happy.

As for contacts, I've had them since I was 12 and I love them. I still wear hard ones and I'm told you get really crisp clear vision with them compared to the soft ones that most people have.

I can't say it's been a happy day, but I am happy the week is done. It's been exhausting.

With contacts: One thing that I think has improved a great deal is contact lens solution technology (is that technology? chemistry?). My optometrist recommended the Opti-something "Replenish" stuff (orange box), and I've found it makes a huuuuuuge difference in how comfortable the lenses are.

Am I the only one who, when rainbaby wrote of her new contacts, initially thought that people had added her as a contact on MeFi?

I am happy today, even though I am working all weekend, because I get so much more done when others of my coworkers are not around.

I'm happy.

I wrote and deleted a long series of reasons. Simply put, I'm happy today.

i'm happy enough today, although i think i shouldn't say why.

I wrote and deleted a long series of reasons.

Oddly enough, I'm happy with any day where I get to write a long series of deletion reasons.

Happy, or incredibly frustrated. I guess it depends on the day, actually.
