black eye
For the first time in my life, I have a black eye.
Well, not really black, at least not yet. More maroon in color. Almost like I tried to put on too much eyeshadow. Crazily (is that a word?) enough, no one at the newspaper asked me today what happened to my eye, LOL! Maybe they didn't really notice with my glasses on, because it doesn't cover my entire eyelid. Or maybe they were afraid to ask.
It does hurt some, is somewhat swollen, and is most tender above my eye, around the eyebrow area.
OH! You want to know why I have a black eye? It's stupid really.
Last night, my daughter was climbing up the ladder to get into bed, and guess who was standing at the bottom daydreaming about something or other? I never saw her foot coming. She swung it up or over or something and caught me square in the right eye with her heel, I think. It stunned me for a moment, so I sat down on the bottom bunk. It was probably a good thing I had my glasses on, because that protected my eyeball, thought it drove the edges of my frames into my nose and eyebrow. Last night I didn't really know how bad it was, just that there was some blood from a scrape on my nose and eyebrow. Imagine my surprise this morning when I looked in the mirror and saw my new lid color! I wonder what color it will be tomorrow?
