And it’s making me want to cry! (I’m such a poet!)
When I woke up yesterday, my eyelid was hurting. By the end of the day, it was swollen right above my lashes. I have one of those medical reference books from an ex-insurance company, so I looked up eyes. I read about stys (sties?), then went and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, there was a small whitehead-looking bump in the line of my eyelashes.
I’ve resisted the urge to pop the thing- the book cautions against doing this, and I don’t mess around with my eyes. I’ve been applying a warm compress on it, and hoping it goes away. The book said to do the compress thing about 5 times a day. Will it eventually pop like a zit, or will it just start draining? Ewwwww…
Plus, since it’s the week before my “time of the month”, my face is breaking out like I just hit puberty, and there’s a monster zit developing above my lip. The kind where if you even bump it, you wince with pain, and if you tried to pop it, your eyes would tear up. You know the kind I’m talking about! I’m leaving it alone, I put some zit medicine on it, hoping to dry it out.
So between the sty and my developing zits, my face is in a lot of pain! Makes me think of that junior high joke,
“Does your face hurt?”
“No, why?”
“Well, it’s killing me!”
<insert snide laughter here>
