Párpados Encendidos

As every other day of my life, I woke up this morning and opened my eyes.  

Except that last part isn't quite true, because my eyelids didn't wish to let that happen.
Swollen eyelids.  My eyeballs are fine, but Sarah's mom and I think their amigos are reacting to a new face soap I used. 

Let's check the dictionary before we get to the front of the line at la farmacia, shall we?

Pharmacy Terminology
Eyelidpárpado 
Inflammed encendido
Benadryl - Benadryl (bay-nah-dreel)

Boom.  Ready for my fourth trip to the pharmacy.  They love me over there.  

Except that no one carries Benadryl.  C'mon guys, you can't have a back room that huge and not have the greatest antihistamine ever invented!  Everyone knew what I was talking about, but three pharmacies later I walked home carrying a small box of big pills, which I'm hoping is the Spanish substitute.  

If this is my last blog post, you all know why.
