Fri 8 Feb

Had a really nice time at the chocolate evening last night. Surprising how quickly we max out on the sweet stuff now compared to the first time I went. There were several savory items such as mole wings, Polito's Pizza (I had part of a small piece of mac n cheese at the end of the evening as they arrived late). I also brought several things home that I didn't have room to finish. The waiter even graciously brought me a box. The crowd was small due to the weather and there was plenty left so no one seemed to mind my taking a few things home. Dad won a gift certificate for a fish fry at Hilltop on the raffle. The Eye Clinic gave me a kit for soaking my contacts in a solution with 3% hydrogen peroxide. They instructed me to use it for three nights (at least 8 hours), and to clean and store them in fresh regular solution in between. They gave me a kit of regular solutions with a new case as well as a disposable case, so I took a deep breath and threw away my existing case and half-full bottles of solutions as well as the foam pad for cleaning off deposits. I did the soak last night and cleaned and stored them in the disposable case this morning. I am supposed to throw that disposable case away when I'm done also. By Sunday, it should be safe to put them back in my eyes. If this doesn't work, it's time to buy new contacts. Just wasn't very hungry tonight. We went to Ranchitos where I ate just over half of a shrimp quesadilla, a smidgen of lettuce and guacamole, a few chips w/salsa, and about 2 oz of a frozen mango margarita. Plenty.
