I Spoke Too Soon

Yep. I have pinkeye.  Excellent.

All day yesterday my right eye was driving me crazy. It felt like there was something in it, I was constantly wiping funk out of it, and it had a nice pinkish hue.  Ugh.

When I got home after forcing myself to go to the gym (I'm trying to sweat this cold out of my system) I instantly took my contacts out and threw that pair away.  It felt slightly better, but was still watery and funky.  I was afraid that I was going to wake up this morning with my eye sealed shut, but it wasn't awful - just a little watery.  However, I did NOT want to put a new pair of contacts in and have them become funkified and have to be thrown out as well, so today I am sporting my specs and looking all intellectual.



Just one of the many joys of motherhood I guess.

  1. I like your intellectual look! I have pinkeye way more frequently than an adult should...damn nasty, dirty high schoolers.

    1. Amazingly this is my first experience with it in 35 years (at least that I know of). I guess I should count that as a win. If I could just keep Andrew's hands out of his diapers...

  2. So you have a cold AND pinkeye. Ughhhhhh

    You look lovely, btw. I can imagine I would be in no shape for a self portrait if I had either a cold OR pink eye.
