Without a mask

I have recently decided to attempt to wear contacts again. Now I know most people wear contacts because they hate wearing glasses, I on the other hand love wearing my glasses. I stopped wearing contacts about 9 to 10 years ago because my eyes always felt dry and icky. I know your thinking if one loves there glasses so much why would they get contacts. Well its all about the Benjamin's. Ok can't believe I just typed that. But it really was about money see contacts are actually much cheaper than the glasses I have. My insurance which runs out on the june 3oth only convers 150 dollars of each. Its all crazyness. Anyways I thought why the hell not.
Now I can tell you that they feel really weird, but that doesn't bother me as I feel like I look weird. Now you have to understand that I really can't see at all without my glasses. When I put makeup on my face is super close to the mirror. I told the optomistrist that I thought I looked funny, and he said sure your not hiding behing a mask anymore. I thought that kind of funny. I guess in a way very true, as me with glasses seems more like me, than the me without. Interesting or not.
I just have one more thing. Can someone please explain to me why a "contact fitting" cost extra from the actual eye exam. And really a lot more like 42 dollars, with a discount. Thats insane all he did was hand me a pair of contacts, and ask me if I still remember how to put them in. Which I do even though I had a bit more of trouble finding one of them, as I couldn't see it. ah well we shall see how it goes. On the plus side i don't need knew glasses because my eyes are that much worse. Go me.
