I am accident prone. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this or not but let it be stated that I am accident prone. Not your average run of the mill accident prone either. We're talking random, unfortunate accident prone.
Case in point: Last night after another butt whooping at Boot Camp I took a shower. Harmless enough right? Mere mortals take showers all the time unscathed... not so for me. I get done with said shower and towel off my face, as is standard, and somehow wipe St. Ives Face Wash (the kind with the gritty particles) into my eye. My eye hasn't stopped watering since 8pm last night, it's basically swollen shut and I look rather reminiscent to this guy:
Because my eye is swollen and watering all over the place my sinuses are draining like the holy flood. I look oh so pretty today. (And I wonder why I'm single?)
I swear I did not do this on purpose to avoid doing speedwork today, I SWEAR! I actually think I'd rather have done speed work than deal with this shenanigans. (And that's saying A LOT because I HATE speed work.)
So now I'm off to the Optometrist to get it flushed out and hope that I look normal by the end of the day. Joy.
In other news, Boot Camp wasn't nearly as brutal as it was last week. I'm not even really sore today. Hmmm... do I just rock like that or does the new instructor suck? Hmmm indeed.

UPDATE: The eye is flushed and whilst I still look like Quasimodo, I no longer have granuales scraping my eye everytime I blink. Yay! FML

Oh buddy! So sorry about your eye. Although the story could not be more hilarious. Gotta be careful with that showering. It can be dangerous. :)
Speed work, blindness or boot camp...hmmm...a true Hobson's Choice. I'll take Speed work...
My eyes just started watering thinking about it. Glad the eyes are feeling better.
That'll teach you to exfoliate.
Sorry to hear about your eye. Glad the Dr. was able to flush it for you.
