keratocorus in Andersonville

I am trying to get my teeth clean, my moles removed, and my contact lens supplies stocked before I join the ranks of the uninsured. On Tuesday I decided to treat myself and incur credit card debt by going to a yuppie eye care center. I had three setbacks:
1. I did not know what to write in the "occupation" line when filing out my paperwork at the office
2. At the end of my eye exam my new fancy eye doctor asked me "Has anyone ever talked with you about keratocorus?" He then used an eye diagram to show me how my eye was becoming more misshapen.
3. At the end of the visit my eyes were dilated. I was too disoriented to pick out my new hip glasses. I walked in front of a car on my way home. I wanted to have a productive afternoon in order to add to my post-employment sense of self worth but all I could do is fall asleep with sunglasses on and the shades closed.

The evening was much better. Mike and I went out for dinner and saw Al Gore give a power point presentation (An Inconvenient Truth) .
