a picture for my sister

There's nothing like waking up Monday morning, ready to hit the ground running, only to glance in the mirror and ... wait... look again... lean closer, since glasses aren't on face yet... to find your forehead is quite swollen.

There go most of the plans for the day.  This is not something you want to take out in public.  (Sorry about missing swimming, Delli.)

It was probably a mosquito in the night, since I do occasionally react with severe swelling.  I took some some antihistamine (and tried to stay awake) and by lunch it wasn't looking quite so embarrassing.  Tuesday there was just a little swelling between my eyebrows and today I'm back to normal.
