the SUN was SHINING today.
the RIVER is still RISING.
I wore a lovely outfit today and felt very professional-- Mom and Dad got it for me for my birthday-- a Kelly Green short sleeved button down blouse with a grey sweater vest (with a little lacy down the front on either side of the buttons) and some new khaki colored dress pants-- structured yet still VERRRRY comfortable.
I got to school and did some workstudy stuff in VT, which was unusually quiet as the 3rd years were taking National Boards so the 4th years who are normally in VT in the morning had to cover throughout the clinic for them.
I received an email stating that my fundraising is complete for the Guatemala Mission Trip!!! My family and friends are sooo sooooo generous and I am so
I forgot my lunch in haste to get to school... so bummer, I had to buy something from 20/20 diner: Grilled Chicken Wrap!!! The only thing that might make them better than Chick Fil A is that she puts bacon and sliced cheese in it. Oh. Yes.
Just before class started, my friend Molly ran up to me, fist clenched. "ASHLEY! Guess what I have for YOU?!?"
Me: "Uh...?"
Molly: "A 44.00D BC contact lens... YOUR MISSING CONTACT LENS!!!!"
Me: "What?!!?!?!? Where?!? HUH!?!? OMG! I LOVE YOU!"
Molly: "Yeah, it was in the bottom of my bag. Is it broken? It looks okay!!"
You see, last Friday, I was cleaning my 44.00D BC rigid gas permeable contact trial lens to insert it into Molly's eye in contact lens lab. It had been in my left palm and I was going to dry off that palm, so I picked it up with my pinky... or so I thought. I dried off the palm and right index finger and looked at my pinky. IT WAS GONE! Instantly, Molly and I pick up all papers, towels, and binders off the desk. No lens. We pick up our roll-y stools and gingerly drop to our hands and knees to see if it had fallen on the floor. Big strong men dropped to the floor to help us. I KNEW it wasn't on the floor. I was certain it had evaporated. I wore RGP's for 8 years of my life. I've found them in carpet. I've found them sticking to the back of my bookcase as it had fallen out as I was putting them in using the mirror above it. I, Ashley Marie Cecilia, do NOT lose RGP's. We continued with the lab. Defeated, I asked Dr. Utech what I would have to do now that I lost one of my diagnostic trial lenses... "Oh, Dr. Chang will order them soon. Don't worry about it. I've lost many in my day. I've found them in pretty strange places too-- a shirt pocket of all places. They aren't THAT expensive." Hmm.. Pocket? That led me to believe that maybe it had slipped down my shirt or something, NOT that I was wearing anything too low cut but anything is possible. I checked. No contact lens... Then we celebrated my birthday and forgot about it. I had been reminded of it somehow this morning and had a feeling similar to the one I had a few weeks after losing to Texas last fall. BUT Molly fixed that!!
Lecture was also fairly interesting today, unlike yesterday. Maybe it was because we had 4 yesterday, but I'm thinking it was what we had yesterday, compared with today that made today so much better.
Today was also the day we could pick up our pottery. I LOVE how it turned out, though the perfectionist in me has found all the flaws in it-- the few places that didn't get paint and/or ways I could better improve it. I guess I'll have to just go back again! I'll post a picture too.
I also baked (a little). I'm going to make Mint Chocolate Chip Cake Balls and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies for our Mission Trip meeting Friday night. I had to bake the cake tonight so that tomorrow I can grind it up, mix it with frosting and make the balls to dunk in almond bark. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I should probably get ready for bed. We have injections tomorrow! Pt 1 of 4. Subcutaneous and Intramuscular in the arm. BAM.
