My eyes are red, but I won’t shed a tear
Definition of irony: In celebration of hitting the 20-lb. weight loss mark on Day 22, you put on a brand new outfit (smaller sizes!), with new earrings that accentuate your cute new haircut. Then you look in the mirror and discover you have a raging case of pinkeye. So much for the new eye makeup.
Sigh. Well, it could be worse. I could have gotten my period.
Sunglasses look cool indoors, right?
P.S. 20 POUNDS!!!

Congratulations on the 20lbs - go you! And yes, sunglasses look cool indoors so long as you sit at a piano and tinkle around at the same time!

WOW! Congratulations on the weight loss. That is wonderful, plus you get to buy new clothes. YIPEE!
Oh, and pink-eye is highly contagious, you really should stay home from work and go to the doctor.

20 lbs is wicked awesome. In fact I need to lose 20 lbs. I suppose I should get up off my ass and do it.
Sorry about your pinkeye. :(

I have never had pink eye. KNOCK ON WOOD. It sounds dreadful and uncomfortable. But who cares when you’ve lost 20lbs!? YAY!

Bec: LOL! I read that and thought of “tinkling” in a different way!
Hilly: I didn’t stay home. I had two important meetings today. Just kept the lighting low and used my drops. Carrots? Can’t have them. You’re doing well, too!
Diana: I’m being very careful not to touch my eyes.
Mattie: Thanks! More on the weight loss tomorrow.
Kevin: You’ll stop being jealous when you read tomorrow’s post. I guarantee it.
Nat: Nope. Worked all day.
Vahid: It isn’t easy, that’s for sure.
Suze: All will be revealed …
Cap: It sure is!!! I even had to buy new panties in a smaller size.
Sizzle: My eyes itch and burn and secrete gunk, but it’s NOTHING compared to the misery you’ve been suffering! SO GLAD your rash is better.
Catherine: I just want it to STAY disappeared. This is my second bout this year.
And everybody, thank you so much for cheering me on!!!

Woo-hoo! Congrats — 20 lbs. is a great accomplishment! Now I’m curious to read tomorrow’s post, too. :o)
Re the pinkeye: Sincere sympathies. It can range from mild itchiness to serious swelling and pain. I get the really bad kind about once every couple of years (whee) with swelling that makes skin flake off around the edges of my eyelids — VERY groddy looking, in an “eye zombie” kind of way.
Depending on the kind of pinkeye you have, you may want to throw away any makeup sponges or brushes (mascara especially) that have touched your eyelids. Since I don’t wash my hands in between various makeup steps, I also usually discard base makeup too out of fear that it’s been tainted. Anything to keep from re-infecting the ol’ eyes.
Hope your pinkeye is the very mildest kind!

I’d just like to add my congratulations on the weight loss. I’m sitting here wrestling with the temptation of a chocolate bar, and I think you’ve just helped me. I’m going to have a banana instead.
