Another One Bites the Dust. . .

. . . Just in time to start the semester, I was blessed to receive a gift from Evan: Pink eye!

Yesterday, I began to feel my eye itch. Nervous that it was just another case of psychosis, I ignored the temptations. Yet as the day wore, I could see a creeping reddish tint begin to cover the corner of my eye.

Finally, by mid-afternoon I could confirm that the pink eye had spread for sure to my eye. Now my mission was Damage Control.

Immediately, I began eye drops. Hoping that it wouldn't be noticeable for school today, I did my best at concealment and headed off.

Right awaythis morning a colleague uttered, "Oh no, now you have Pink Eye!" Great, I couldn't conceal it from them either.

By the end of today, the color has faded due to diligent use of eye drops. It is a mere pink and I am hoping my pink eye will be undetectable by tomorrow. Any hopefully, no one else bites the dust in my footprints!

Bugger! What a drag. Hope it goes away soon. I don't think I've had pink eye since... I can't even recall.
