1. Come home from work
2. Try to read article I've been trying to read for a month
3. Give up when the words blur together
4. Remember eye appointment
5. Drive across town to WalMart (because I'm too poor to afford to go anywhere else)
6. Get confirmation from doc that I am still blind as a bat (-11.00 contact Rx in both eyes)
7. Try new type of contacts
8. Shop for new saline solution, antiperspirant, toothpaste, and 70spf sunblock
9. Return to car
10. Accidentally blind self with reflective windshield sun shield
11. Treat self to McDonald's for having been a good girl and not kicking the doctor
12. Come home
13. Try to read article again
14. Give up and conclude that author is just trying to impress us with his vocabulary and technobabble, and that article still reads like one of Wesley Crusher's book reports
15. Console self with Oreos
