Texting with a Petunia

I went to the eye doctor yesterday and had to have my eyes examined. To do this, they dilated them, did the exam, and then sent me on my way. My eye doctor—who really is one of the world’s best—was in New Braunfels rather than San Antonio that day, so I got in my little red civic and started driving back up to Austin. I was planning to stop by a court house in south Austin, to have two tickets I had gotten earlier this month for an expired registration and no proof of insurance—my insurance card was expired by one day and the cop wouldn’t let it slide—dismissed. When I started driving, I realized almost immediately that driving with dilated eyes was a bad idea. You can see large objects or things that are further than 3 feet way, but getting my keys in the door, changing the radio station, or seeing where the straw to your 44oz. diet coke is—that is a serious problem. So rather than be the cause of a crash that would surely involve an 18 wheeler carrying something explosive and me ending up on fire, I decided to stop and have lunch in San Marcos with some friends and let the dilation wear off.
