It was a glasses day

Most of you know that days that I where my glasses all day are days that are one of these three options:
1. I'm super tired
2. I'm angry/upset/stressed
3. I'm sick
My students always knew that if I came in with my glasses on then they needed to be on their best behaviour or face the wrath of Ms. Procita. Well I believe I can add a number four to the list. Since I began wearing my new contacts that stay in all the time, I haven't had a glasses day in quite awhile. I have to take them out once a week to give my eyes a rest or so says my wonderful optometrist. My number four on the list would be pure laziness. I opened my eyes and grabbed one of my books this morning, spent quite some time playing video games and almost had myself convinced I wouldn't even have to leave the house today. By the time I did join the land of the living, there was no good reason to put contacts in for the day. Sadly enough though, my glasses are not the correct prescription and I do have a headache from wearing them all day. I guess that would fall under option #3. I'm going to get new glasses as soon as the next pay check comes in, but until then I just don't plan on having another glasses day.

Just so you know, I did leave the house briefly and confirmed my love of all things book related. You know what I mean when you can pass an hour in Barnes and Noble without even realzing it or spend thirty minutes just browsing the kids' section of the public library. I honestly think I got my new library card so I can stay up-to-date on some of the series of books my kids have gotten me addicted to over the years. I currently have two books calling to me so I must go answer the call of one of them before they wake the neighbors.

A math teacher wearing glasses. Always kept me awake in class, and a bit afraid.
