I'm loving it.<br /><br />And I can sooooo relate to all of your stories about nearsightedness.

I'm so used to doing things without my glasses (now that I'm wrapping up my first year of Not Being Able to Wear Contacts Due to Serious Eye Ick Issues after 20 years of being a contacts wearer) that I just sort of take it for granted... the having to shave my legs mostly by feel in the shower since I can't see clearly enough to know I didn't miss a spot, the squinting desperately at the LARGE numbers on the alarm clock on Hubby's side of the bed to try and figure out what time it might be (is that one number before the colon or two?), the general fuzziness of the world for big stretches of time when I don't have my specs...<br /><br />I pondered blogging about the following yesterday, then decided I'd spare myself the embarrassment. Then you go and post this and now I feel obliged to share.<br /><br />While shaving my legs in the shower, blind per usual without my glasses on, I glanced down at the tub floor behind me and I noticed two distinct brown lumps. I bent over for a closer look, but between the steam and the extreme myopia, I couldn't ascertain what they were, exactly, without getting TOO close, as you mention in the diaper changing anecdote. I literally stood there, squinting down at the brown blobs, and tried to think back on whether *I* had somehow produced them while leaning over, one leg up against the tub wall (sort of Rockettes-ish, the way I shave my legs - I'm surprisingly flexible for a big girl), and finally, I turned off the water and hopped out to get my glasses.<br /><br />I really thought perhaps I'd overdone it with the prunes (oh sorry, they're "dried plums" these days, thanks Marketing Gurus) that I'd been snacking on over the past few days - looove prunes, mmmm - and that somehow I'd, you know, <I>expelled</I> those two brown blobs. I was, understandably, a bit concerned. I put on my glasses and turned around to see exactly what had fallen, presumably off of/out of my body, and then I realized:<br /><br />Two of Kiddo's Teeny Tiny Dog figurines, with whom she bathes, had fallen off the tub ledge where they were lined up. Two of the dark brown ones, coincidentally.<br /><br />Whew.<br /><br /><br /><br />Aren't you glad I shared? :DHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027001537835285847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-20864328602969399812009-05-07T19:50:00.000+10:002009-05-07T19:50:00.000+10:00Lucky it was chocolate & not a mystery injury!...Lucky it was chocolate & not a mystery injury!
