Well, I realized pretty early on, when I woke up that putting in my contacts in was NOT going to be a thing today! I have been wearing contacts for 30 years now, and I have muscle memory when putting them into my eyes, but muscle memory is NOTHING when I don’t have enough hand control to put my contact on my finger to put it into my eyes. Subsequently, this is what I saw today for the entire day:
I needed to get my hair washed today and my Mom said that we should watch Ben Hur while she was washing it. I agreed and put it on. It might’ve been about 15 minutes into the movie when my Mom realized that I was not wearing my contacts. I told her that it was okay and that I have seen Ben Hur before.
I have seen that movie for my ENTIRE life so I know what’s going on! I did wheel up close to the desk under my TV to watch when Jesus gave Judah water. I knew enough to cry! I also was aware of the Roman soldier’s face of embarrassment and shame when he tells Jesus that Judah is not supposed to get water and Jesus silently looks at him.
I was prepared to watch the entire movie, but my Mom got tired and she is laying down so I stopped it just as the second half began! We will watch it tomorrow when I have my contacts in! It’s still Lent!
