Oh sure. It's all fun and games until someone pokes out an eye.

Last night--whether by accident or design--my cat came in close and poked me in my brain (via one of my nose-holes) with a whisker.

The pain was indescribable.

Thus far, that has been the high point of my week. I sincerely hope things pick up soon.

I'm thinking of letting her do it again.
