Do I always look this bad??

OK, so my eyes are still messed up.....wah!

I woke up this morning and they were almost swollen shut! I had a dentist appointment so I was going into work a little late. I couldn't wear eye shadow - my lids were too puffed to even think about it, not to mention ITCHY! I did apply a little mascara cause I felt almost naked leaving the house without eye attire!

After settling into the dentist chair and knowing she was going to be staring me in the face cleaning the choppers I told her about my eyes. I thought I was doing her a favor so that my puffed peepers wouldn't alarm her. "Oh" she says, looking me in the eyes, "I couldn't really tell, hmm, I guess the right one is a little red". WTHecks? A little red?? Jeeze, they are practically swollen shut, the lids are BLOOD RED and should be twitching they are so itchy! Can't she see that? What is she, BLIND?! Harrumph.

I got to work about and hour and a half late and proceeded to tell my sad, sad tale; Yes, avert your eyes, I am the swollen-eyed, itchy-lid woman, look away - look away. Just like the girl at the dentist they look at my face, even squinting to get a reeeeally good look. "Hmm" they say, "yeah, I can see a little puffiness". WTHecks, again! Is everyone around here blind or something? I AM HIDEOUS! Then suddenly it hits me. Holy Crap, according to everyone I must look like this every day!!

Obviously I've overreacted! Even with swollen and itchy eyes I am still the stunning Red Headed Goddess that I am every other day of the week. I am a strong and invincible woman who even though she is going through obvious pain and discomfort is able to pull it all off with out even showing any sign of weakness. Ahh, it's good to be me!
