an eye patch would be nice right now

So, do you remember me saying early this morning that I was to go snowshoeing today, well, that didn't happen. You see, I have this stupid, oversensitive, gray, fat cat named Pepper. Most of the day she sleeps on my bed and I'm fine with that. Last night she decided to sleep on my pillow, the one I was using. I was fine with that too... for a while. I shifted under the covers to reposition myself and get comfortable, and I must have agitated Pepper, because she decided to kick my face with her hind legs. Her claw left two small cuts on my left eyelid, so I smacked her in the head. She was being a turd, so I had to discipline her-I wasn't abusing her like you may think. I had some Neosporin next to my bed due to the bite Pepper left on my hand a couple weeks ago that I decided to use again, this time for my eye. When I looked in the mirror I saw a little blood already beginning to spew out of the incision, and the irritated skin around the cut was already a little red. I thought immediately of the complications I would endure each morning while applying eyeshadow. Hopefully it wouldn't sting. Anyways, I was surprised when my eye didn't start to get all runny right away. Maybe the ointment was actually going to help. Oh, did I mention I'm allergic to cats?

A few hours later, at about 5:30 am, I woke to the blaring sounds of today's hottest songs and walked immediately to the mirror above my dresser to witness the damage. I had taken some Zyrtec after spreading the gooey medicine over my wound in hopes that it would help cure my irritation. It didn't. As I peered through one eye into my reflection I observed my half shut, grotesquely, puffy eye. It looked like a mushroom, no. That doesn't even describe how puffy it was. It had gained twenty-two times it's original mass, it looked like an inflated balloon. That still doesn't describe the size of my eye. I looked like the elephant man. I still do actually. I've got an icepack attached to my face with three hair bands holding the two together. If I have to go to school like this I'm demanding a pirate-style eye patch! No person should have to see this. To make the situation worse, I've got an eye appointment tomorrow with the optometrist to make sure my contacts are properly sized and prescribed.

Well, wish me luck, I need it.
