See Sarah...

Remember when I said I loved you, summer?  I stand by that statement, but I have one qualm with you.  Bugs.  Goodness, gracious, do I HATE bugs.  And summer seems to bring out all the bugs, which means I get tons of very annoying bug bites. And it pisses me off.  Especially today. Because as of now my left eye has swelled up to the size of Texas.  I may be exaggerating the size that a bit, but I’m not lying about the swelling.  I am swollen.  My left eye is making me look like Quasimodo.  No fun at all. 

I noticed it yesterday morning when I woke up and my left eye felt a bit heavy.  When I checked it out in the mirror, I saw a small bite slightly above my left eyelid and it was pretty swollen, but it didn’t look ridiculous or anything.  Not like it does now.  I was fine for most of yesterday, just a bit swollen but not really obvious unless you looked at my face for several seconds and really focused on my eye.  But man, it’s obvious now.  I was so puffy this morning, I lost the crease in my left eye.  I have it back now, but it looks very weird and unusual to put it kindly.  I plan on taking a picture of it later and posting it on here so you can see it.  I just hope the swelling goes down soon…I feel like I look like a mutant. 

I’m planning on trying different methods to decrease the swelling so I don’t continue to look like I have Elephantitis in my face.  I’ve heard that making a paste out of baking soda and apple cider vinegar, then leaving on the infected area is an effective natural remedy.  Or I can wipe white vinegar over the swollen area, or just put a baking soda-water paste on it.  I should probably take an aspirin too at some point.  Gah, I just want it to go away right now without any sort of treatment.  Ha, yeah right.  Anyway, I’ll keep you posted on how it’s going.  Pictures to come later…
