Sunday May 31, day 6
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 12:43PM It was also my birthday. Happy birthday to you, you look like a freak. Your face carved is like a roadmap and your spirit is so meak.
That's pretty much how I was feeling! I still felt the sharp pains in my eyeball, but the swelling in my face had gone down quite a lot over night.
What I wouldn't give for a do-over. I would have scheduled this thing for next week in order not to have to go out looking like this tonight! I had plans that included celebrating my birthday with friends at the Sunday Night Blues at LIVE Downtown Duluth and listening to the Deb Callahan Band, who were coming all the way from Pennsylvania to play for the Sunday Night Blues Crew!
I pretty much wanted to stay home but I had known Deb was coming for a few months and had been salivating the fun of hearing her again.
I spent some time styling my tresses so that the one side of my face was covered with a nice blonde swoop of hair. It's a good thing my bangs are down below my chin, so this was relatively easy. I had planned to wear the light colored sunglasses but the problem was, I still couldn't see, and it was dark in the club.
Once there I ended up having to share the ordeal with my peeps and once I got comfortable and had my face securely covered by my hair everything was alright, in a trauma induced state of mind kind of way.
There was a beautiful chocolate cake with roses to share with everyone, and the cutest frog garden ornament you ever did see! He is made of copper and is holding a glow in the dark blown glass ball. I'll have to post his picture. I passed cake out to the peeps at the club and the band during the break and stuck around for a couple of hours of good music. It's a good thing the music started at 6pm as I hightailed it out of there and home by 9 so as not to drive with my poor vision after dark.
I was glad I went out, I needed that bad...

Thanks to Deb and the band for coming back to freezing cold Duluth! The weather sucked but you were beautiful!
