If it's Not One Thing It's Another

Date: July 14th

With this heat and being prego, and my added anemia,

it's a struggle just to get everyone ready and get into work in the mornings.

This day was particularly hard and I almost passed out several times that morning.

I had to stop on my way into work twice and lean against the walls.

Embarrassing to say the least!

Well I had also woken up that day with an extra dry and scratchy eye.

I don't sleep well anymore so I just figured I was still tired.

Once I finally did get to my desk and started staring at both my computer monitors

my right eye started to hurt so bad!!

Tears were just pouring out of the one eye...but not the other.

I finally had 2 coworkers see if they could find something in my eye.

It felt like a huge sharp stick was scratching my eyeball.

I just had to laugh because here I was concerned about not falling down walking into work

and now I'm worried about going blind! haha

So I made myself a makeshift patch that I was holding over that eye

and shut off my overhead office lights.

My boss came by and wondered what the heck was wrong with me.

lol um nothing sir - just falling apart over here

He insisted I go to the onsite nurse.

So with tears streaming down ONE eye I headed over there.

She laid me down and put on her scary magnifying glasses contraption.

She determined I had a surface scratch on my eyeball.

Awesome.

How the heck did that happen while I was sleeping?!

So she then began to waterboard my eyeball.

I swear at least 37 gallons were flushed into my eyeball, down my face, neck and back.

She kindly says "Um the fluids took off your makeup".

Really you're kidding?!  I'm pretty sure it took off half my face too!!

So she sent me with eye drops and back on my way.

I figured I must look ridiculous.

So I put my head down and acted busy on my phone

and raced back to my desk.

Once in my office I whipped out my phone and took a selfie to see how bad it was.

LOL - I no longer have an ounce of pride.

The joys of being a blonde.

You take off your makeup and you also take off your eye!

At that point why didn't she just take off the other eye too?!

So I sent this picture to Ryan and explained my dilemma.

He tried really hard not to laugh.

I seriously had to work like this for an hour

before I ran out and bought new makeup to fix the missing eye.

Some days you just have to roll with the punches.
