I’m about THIS CLOSE to wearing an eye patch and calling it a day. I hardly ever wear makeup, right? Like, I’ll wear it when I dress up. Which is almost never. For some reason at the beginning of this week I was digging for something in my bathroom drawer and found some mascara I forgot I had (my first mistake) and was all, “Oh! I’ll put some of this on.” So I did.
And then I woke up with an eye infection the next morning. Because of course.
I threw away the mascara. I’ve been doing warm compresses and medicated eye wipes (did you know this was a thing? it’s a thing!) and trying not to touch my face and and also whining A LOT about how my eye hurts and burns and itches and did I mention? MY EYE? WHICH IS CLEARLY INFECTED?
After one too many jokes from friends about the eye patch I am surely destined for, I went to the doctor today. Now that I’m on antibiotics I guess today is probably my last day to make pirate jokes, alas.
While I was gone this week trying really hard not to touch my eye, I wrote a couple of posts over at Alpha Mom. One is about what matters to me now that I’m solidly middle-aged and the other is (in response to a reader question) all about how homeschooling can be all kinds of different things. So, um, you can go read those and I won’t make ye walk the plank. Arrrrrrrr.
Ouch! Glad you went, hope you’re on the mend and not hurting soon. xx
Well, don’t stop the jokes too soon. This Monday is Talk like a Pirate day…
Your eye infection will be gone in no time now that you have antibiotics.
I *told* you I wasn’t a doctor.
I rarely if ever wear makeup, and now I’m going to go throw my one ancient tube of mascara out.
You do know that Monday is Talk like a Pirate Day, right?
Today (9/19) is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Your post be awesome! Arr.
