What the Body Says

My contacts are supposed to be changed every three months. My optometrist and others say that I should write down on a calender three months in advance when it's time to change them out. I however have come up with another method that saves me the time and pen ink (these are tough times, I need to save my pennies) of having to write it down.

And that method is self-induced eye infections. No reminder is quite so attention grabbing as a visceral response from your body. If you want to quit smoking, just wait until you get lung cancer. Then you will know it's time to quit. If you don't know how much weight to lift, keep adding more weight until your back goes out. If you're not sure if the salsa is too hot, your ulcers will tell you.

There are benefits to my method. The calender method only gives me three months of contact use. Whereas my method gives me about 5 months. The only problem with my method is that in the long wrong I probably don't save much. This is because the treatment for an eye infection is ridiculous. The medicine sold in the store is around ten dollars an ounce. My inability to keep my eyes open cuts down on my productivity. And finally, ladies do not find my constantly watery red half shut eyes, and sniffling nose attractive.
