I woke up today looking like Sloth from Goonies

Looking into the mirror right after waking up is always a dangerous choice but this morning it was even more shocking.  I woke up feeling like I could barely open one of my eyes.  I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror to find Sloth from The Goonies looking back at me!

Seriously - look:

messed up eye

My one eye is so red and swollen that I can barely keep it open most of the time.  I am pretty sure it is just a stye because I had one a long time ago but regardless it is something that makes me glad that I work from home.  That said, it was one of the few days that I had to actually go out in the real world because I had to pay my credit card bill at the bank.  So, I tried to  get my bangs so far down over the eye that people would’t notice.  Of course they would notice my rather strange hair but I can deal with that.  I just tried to make sure I didn’t buy any Baby Ruth chocolate bars so that I wasn’t asked for my autograph.

It does hurt but it could be worse.  It could have been a UTI instead which is proof that if there is a God he is a man.

    Ow…that looks sore. I haven’t had one in years, bu I remember how awful they feel. Just wear a pair of big hollywood sunglasses when you go out if you don’t want people to see it….hmmmm.. then again, quite a few just have… on several continents. Hope it’s gone soon. You can get a prescription for it , my friend had that problem about a week ago, but they usually clear up on thier own in a few days.
