The Chatter

I love, love, love the summer!  Bring on the heat & the humidity & I’m a VERY happy girl!  The last few weeks here have been very sunny & very warm; TOTALLY my kind of weather!  I’m loving it!  This week’s weather is no exception!  88 & sunny expected everyday!

The Great Minnesota Get Together (aka THE greatest state fair) starts this week!  What great weather I’ll have for my opening day festivities!  Gotta love it!  Food on a stick, warm weather, sun, & a great fashion show put on by my fellow fair goers!  Ahhh…perfection!

So where’s the cruelty you ask?  Well, last week I noticed a “spot” on my eye.  I didn’t wear my contacts for a few days & thought all was well….until yesterday morning when I was about to put in my contacts….now the OTHER eye has two spots!!?!  What the heck?!  Thankfully, I was able to get in to see a specialist yesterday afternoon, who informed me that I have ulcers on my cornea (those are the spots) & that I have two cornea infections! 

Here’s the “eye”rony….when you have cornea infections, you’re VERY sensitive to sunlight!  Noooooooooooooooo….not my sun!!  But yes, indeed, I’m feeling like a vampire because sunlight just makes my eyes water & my nose run!  Even when some lamps are on I cringe just a little bit.  Hopefully things will be back to normal in a week or so.

Until then I’m almost wishing for cloudy days…especially when I go to the Fair.  Never thought I’d hear those words come out of this mouth…the mouth of the girl that loves heat, humidity & the sun!

And that, my friends, is why irony is cruel!
