There is a new farmer's market every Thursday, across the street from my work. AWESOME. Today I bought asparagus and strawberries. I can't wait for blueberry season; everyone else is going to have to get there really early or else just accept that I will buy ALL THE BLUEBERRIES IN THE WORLD.

Ahem.

The thing is, every summer I have the same five conversations with myself*, and every summer nothing happens, but this summer! This summer, one of my "shoulds" will become a "do".

*1. It's very bright out here. I should give in and buy expensive prescription sunglasses.

2. Maybe I should just get contacts instead and buy cheap sunglasses.

3. I should go do some of those things that people do in Toronto in the summer. There's more to summer than air conditioning and patios, or so I've been told.

4. I have so much free time these days.** I should take a class, or go back to the gym.

5. Now would be a perfect time to start buying all my vegetables at farmer's markets.

**No, I have no idea why I think I have more free time in the summer. It must be the heatstroke.

I've owned contacts twice, and both experiences they took me, like, an HOUR to put in each time. Which I kind of don't understand, because I can touch my own eyeball without flinching, for pete's sake. So I'm a little reluctant to try them again, because the likelihood is that I wouldn't wear them to work, which is, you know, 5 days of the week.

Whereas I can't even come close to touching my eyeball, and can't even keep my eyes open to put eye drops in, but I got my contacts in right away on my first try.

But despite their ease I probably only end up wearing them every couple months.

I have a hard time with the eye drops, too. Keeping my eyelids open is a huge challenge -- I usually just end up getting them all over my face.

See, this is why for any eye-jiggery-pokery-related activities, one hand is always enlisted to simply haul the lid up and hold it there by brute force. :D

You'd get faster :) If it's not about squeamishness then it's probably about angle or the amount of liquid or whatever. But about work -- it's hard to do computer tasks with contacts unless you're not at all prone to dry eyes, because you just don't blink enough when you're on the computer, plus the air at work is usually dry. So maybe go with the scrip sunglasses?

Have Transitions lenses improved at all since they came out back in the day? I remember that eventually they started to be pretty dark even inside, which is stupid and pretty hard on your eyes, to boot.
