Yesterday I managed to avoid looking closely at my face in a mirror for the entire day. I knew it would just be too horrible to look at, and I wouldn't be able to do a thing about IT - the massive, red, swollen PIMPLE on my chin.
Yeah, it's gross. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it looks like I now have a third nipple, and it's on my face.
AJ said I should just pop it, but it's too sore. Not only that- I scar so easily. That tan-coloured scar on my right arm? That's from when I burned myself on a hot cookie sheet almost a year ago. The scratch by my elbow? That's even older, from when Charlie accidentally scratched me. So the thought of creating a crater in my face that needs to heal up is less than appealing.
Actually, upon closer examination, it looks like it's actually a tiny constellation of blemishes. Go big or go home, right? Yeah.
I'm going to have to face the outside world today. Simon and I have to take AJ to work, I have to go in to pick up my work schedule for the next few weeks, and the cats need food. There's no way I'm sticking a band-aid on my face, so the world will just have to suck it up. Children may cry, old folks may drop dead at the sight of my temporary deformity, but that's just how it's going to be.
I'll try not to let my feelings get too hurt. *sniffle*
I'm not a monster!!!
PS- I'd like to thank last night's dinner guests for not staring, pointing, or running out the door screaming. You guys are swell.
