Monday Wut Wut: Took a Gnat Bite to the Eyelid
It's sooooooo hot here. Everything is melting, the trains are having fun with the wrong kind of heat, the relentless baking, grind you down heat leaving you parched and praying for a thunderstorm even though there is not a cloud in the sky.
And it was while enjoying this piece of summer, complain about it, me, we can never get enough of summer, it would be churlish to complain, lying out back reading and relaxing, some little gnat decided my eyebrow was tasty. I didn't notice until a couple of hours later when the little dot on my eyebrow started to swell.
...and swell...and swell.
After a couple of hours, I look like I had gone several rounds with a boxer as the eyelid swelled up and covered over my eye. Its both slightly weird and scary realising that I couldn't see out of one side, so my depth perception had gone and just closing the other eye left me floundering around.
So, then followed two days of stumbling around, taking anti-histamines and waiting for it to go down to the point where I can see again without forcing it open. Doing my utmost not to scratch at it, which would just make it swell again and because the eyeball is not that far away.
And now finally, I can look back out on the sunny skies with both eyes, and the only glint left, is going to be me getting my own back on those midges.
