Adding Insult to Injury

Just when I thought I was feeling better, sort of ignoring the fact that it still hurts to swallow, I get a call from the doctor's office with great news: I have strep! Yay!

This morning I woke up with a puffy eye; by mid-afternoon it had faded into a deep crease, which freaked me out to the extent that I stared at it in the car mirror for a good five minutes before turning to my mom and shrieking, "I have a wrinkle!"

She claims it's an allergy attack; to be fair, I've been redder than usual today. Or maybe I just got a little crazy with the blush.
