I woke this morning to find what can only be described as a carbuncle on my face.
I have been suffering from what the face cream ads call “blemishes”, luckily these blemishes have stayed on my forehead so are easily concealed by a funky fringe. A bit of a zap with a hair straightener and I’m good to go, no need for heavy makeup or fear of people pointing at me on the street.
Today they have migrated to my nose, the side of which has doubled in size due to aforementioned carbuncle.
It probably doesn’t look as bad as I’m making out, the fluorescent redness can be disguised, painfully I might add, by the application of concealer and foundation. The dramatic increase in size is probably microscopic and not visible to anyone but me,.
The only thing we have planned today is a trip to the movies, let’s hope the glow from my nose doesn’t disturb the viewing enjoyment of the other people there!
