This Is Weird (But Cool)

So I went to the eye doctor to put in my lenses. They'd told me that I'd need to sit with them in and my eyes closed for an hour. Kathleen said that it would be longer than that.
It actually ended up being more like a half an hour.
I need to have my eyes checked the morning after I wear them overnight for the first time, so that meant I wouldn't be able to wear them overnight until Friday, as I didn't think I'd be free in the morning before Saturday.
When I got home I found out that my first day of work has been pushed to Thursday, so I called the eye doctor to reschedule for tomorrow and will be able to wear the lenses tonight.
Here's the thing that's weird. I only had the lenses in for about an hour total, as I didn't take them out right away when I got home, and already I'm in this slightly blurry middleground in which I can't see quite as well as I could if I had my regular contacts in, but I can see well enough to be able to type this without the aid of my glasses, and if I do put my glasses on, things get blurry.
So I'm thinking that's a very good sign.
It's also very cool (and weird) to be able to see as clearly as I can right now without any assistance.
