Nausea = black eyes
May 3, 2006
On my hour-long drive home from work today, I communicated to Dan over the phone how sick I felt, and that upon reaching my destination, I would probably throw up everywhere.
Well, it wasn’t everywhere. It was in a contained area. But even so, it was unexpected. Almost as unexpected as the surprise I beheld when I looked in the mirror.
The blood vessels surrounding my eyes burst from the sudden force, and the result is two authentic-looking black eyes. Looking at me, one may think I got in a hardcore quarrel. Or maybe got hit in the face with a ball during an intense lacrosse practice. Not the case.
I stopped briefly at the health center to question the nurse. She said it was common, that it would probably get worse before it got better, and that it would most likely last for a couple weeks. Weeks! Vomit-induced black eyes for WEEKS!
Therefore, I will spend the rest of the night contriving a badass lie. And the next couple weeks wearing sunglasses.

Weeks? That is terrible. I hope they get better faster than that!

Oh my, I didn’t know that could happen. Just think: after those weeks, it will be over.
I must say, I LOVE your Beads and Pearls photo. It is a delightful treat for my eyes.
