I just celebrated my birthday this past weekend. In my opinion getting older is sort of nice. I don't miss my younger days at all so I say bring it on life! However, I did have an unwelcome guest at my birthday this year. A zit. A giant, bulbous pimple located on my eyelid. Yes it is as painful and obnoxious as it sounds. My teenage years are well behind me so I'm guessing that this is my body playing a sick joke on me. In my head I have began referring to this face bolder as Grendel because no mater what I do to it the thing doesn't go away. In fact the more I try the more I seem to anger it and then it gets bigger. Yesterday Grendel began seeping. Now I have experienced a lot of nasty things in my life but having an overfull pustule seeping into one's eye is pretty darn gross. The only comforting thought that I had was that this letting of fluid might cause the swelling to go down and it would finally start healing. Much to my distress it has seemed only to anger the beast and now the thing is bright red. It looks as if Mars has found a new home.
*sigh*
So much for the perks of getting older.
