I have not one, but 2 slightly black eyes! And a cut across the bridge of my nose. Monday afternoon, Quinn & I were getting totes of X-mas stuff off an overhead shelf in our garage. Quinn was up on the ladder & I was reaching up to sort of slide the totes off the edge as they were too heavy for him to lift down to me. I sort of lost control of one of them & it hit me in my face. It cut the brigde of my nose (not too bad) & as a result...I have 2 black eyes. They are not too bad, just sort of purple on the inside areas of my eys. They are more purple today than yesteday. One of my eyes is bloodshot on the inside white part. I can't cover it up with make-up. I look rather silly. It hurt Monday night & yesterday, but today it doesn't hurt unless I lean over.
Well...I just got in from my daily walk & there is a message on my answering machine. It's from a lady calling me in for an interview. She's asked that I call her back after 2:30 today to sch an interview possibly for Friday. When I call her back to sch the interview, should I say something like "By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I have 2 black eyes." And maybe briefly tell her what happened. Or should I just not say anything & explain when I go in for the interview...OR perhaps I would be better off to sch it for next week & perhaps the blackeyes will be gone???
It's sort of funny because Quinn had a blackeye about 2 months ago (his 1st one ever). I went out in the yard to talk to my neighbor yesterday afternoon & she said "What happened? Did Quinn get you back for the blackeye you gave him?" LOL!

When I got up this morning, the bloodshot area had spread to the other white side (looks really beautiful). But I noticed that it wasn't hurting as much. I went to the eye doc earlier today. He checked it really good & said that I had brust a small vein but that it looked like it was going to be ok. He told me to at least twice a day to just rest my eye with a cool compress on it. And he gave me some drops to just keep it moist. He said that the drops would also help to soothe it & they do. I had noticed that it felt a little scratchy, but there was nothing in it. It's just irrated & sensitive...even to light. The bruise is the same, so thank goodness it's not worst. This morning, I tried to cover the bruise with conceler, but to be honest, it made my skin look yellow. I thought it made it look worst than the bruise. So, tomorrow, I'm just going to wear blush & lipstick. I am nervous about going for the interview with 2 black eyes, but hopefully she's going to have a good sense of humor & as Mochamom says, it may go in my favor. We'll see.
