What Red Eyes You Have

My ridiculous weekend was followed by a harsh realization: I think the kids gave me pinkeye on Monday.

Cue tea-drinking and the French medical system. Let's hope they're as good as everyone says they are. This just reminds me of when I got pinkeye from a microscope in high school and had to be at orchestra camp with a hugely swollen, red eye. Playing my oboe. Incidentally, that was also the first time I heard the Postal Service, so it wasn't a lost weekend after all.


I guess this is what happens when you work with kids and forget hand sanitizer. Lesson learned. Now I need to get me some antibiotics.

    I wish you wouldn't say these things when I'm supposed to be helping my mom look after the germy little darlings of our Church next Sunday. Positive: I have a very large bottle of nice-smelling sanitizer.

  2. Aw, Pending. Use hand sanitizer! That's all there is to it. I finally got some this week and will now be using it religiously. Kids are dirty and germy but as long as you wash your hands you should be able to avoid contracting maladies. And it's just pinkeye. Disgusting, uncomfortable, treatable.
