Thankfully my eye itchiness and red puffy yet chapped lids have healed and returned to normal. I’ve successfully kept the cat out of my room for five days now. I haven’t washed my face with anything but water, especially not any of my new expensive products. I’ve even been able to sleep in for the last two days- Hallelujah!! So I think I’m in the clear, which is why it is so fricking hard not to cave and go back to wearing makeup, especially since I caved the other night.

One thing that happened this lazy day was that I went for brunch with my friend Donna who was convinced I was wearing eye shadow. I wasn’t. It’s just the way my skin looks different on my lid versus my eyebrow/bone area. Other than that she didn’t say much about my look, she’s just not that kind of girl.

For day five of this Doctor enforced experiment I really don’t have much to report. My eyes are feeling better. I wish I knew what the cause was. The cat hates me now that I’ve been avoiding it all week. And thankfully my skin is still pretty clear- but I think I owe most of that to the fact that I’m long out of puberty.

Two more days to go!
