Arghh … turning blind (again)

Got up at 5.00 AM as every morning to go running as usual. “Oh, my gosh - I am turning blind.” was my first thought. Everything was so blurry. I even took my glasses that I never wear and things got even worse. I couldn’t see shit. No, the lights were turned on - that was not it. My blood pressure slowly came up to speed and oxygen was transported to my still sleeping brain. With every breath I was able to get a clearer thought of what was going on. “What did I do last night?” was flashing in front of my eyes like a movie. I saw me preparing everything for the night, but I did not see me doing a certain thing. No, I am not talking about sex. I am not very organized in many ways, but my morning and evening procedures are so standardized - it’s like a program.
Well, apparently the evening program must have crashed with a major Blue screen of death. There was a big piece missing from my memory. At work I would have talked about a memory leak. Here I found an easy term for it:
Lack of sleep
What had happened? Well, I wear contacts. To be more specific, I wear dailies - the contacts you just use one day and then trash ‘em. I had forgotten to take them out last night for whatever reason. My eyes were dry and things looked so blurry. I grabbed into my eyes and removed the contacts. Things still looked blurry, but when I went for my morning run things slowly improved. lol It’s not the first time I noticed that I do not function very well with a major lack of sleep. See, what a baby can do to you?!
