My left eye has been itching and irritated all morning. I kept trying to make it settle down with eyedrops and gentle rubbing, but finally gave in just now and went to take out the contact and clean it. When I got it out, I found it had a triangular tear out of the edge. No wonder it hurt! Can't put that back in my eye, so I'm stuck here all day with only one eye that can focus. I will probably have an eyestrain headache by the end of the day. I have no extra contacts here, no glasses, and it's too far to drive home and come back. I suppose I could take some sick time this afternoon and just not come back...
