Wednesday

Wednesday. Wow. Weird. Work  Woke up with my eyes almost swollen shut. Allergies? Of course I applied heavy make-up to... Conseal-disguise my swollen eye lids and the massive bags under my eyes IM TALKING HUGE bags under my eyes. I painted my face with lots of makeup. I even wore a red shirt to match my eyelids.  I went to work - I did my best to avoid all contact with my co-workers. When I passed my co-workers in my office I bent my head back - I thought that made my swelling less noticeable. I should have worn shoes without heels today. I was walking down the hall in my office with my head bent back at an awkward angle to disguise my disfigured face and tripped over my own feet. I don't know if I broke my left foot in the same place for the 3rd time or if it is a bad sprain. A sweet young co-worker helped me up. I told her my story. I showed her my eyes. She made me feel a lot better about myself. She said: "if people don't know you - they would just think that - that's what your face normally  looks like "
