Eyes checked and house clean

susandennisUsually, the tech who does all the eye tests is a young female who speaks to you with the animation of a toy on repeat. She could care less and I'm just another annoying breathing customer.
Today, however, I got Neal who was fresh and alert and interesting and even explained why the yellow drops are yellow and their dual purpose. They numb the eye so the blue light can touch the eyeball comfortably and when he sees green (blue and yellow, get it?) he knows he's scored. I never knew all that.
But, then I got the doctor who was one of those women who wants to know what I'm going to do with the rest of my day and other chit chat that just drives me up the wall. She spit out a word salad of shit about my eyes but I was able to pick out the meat - they are fine. No change from last time. BUT she wants one of those annoying clicker texts in 6 months.
And my eyes are dilated. But, it's done and August is down the road.
And MLB.TV woke up so I ordered a year of Mariners. Not Phillies. Mariners plus Phillies and everyone else would have been twice as much and I just wasn't feelin' it.
So, Dr. Eye, that's the rest of my day.

In my world, they’re used to confirm my scleral contact lenses are auctioned to my eyeball properly!
