The Pinkest Eyes in the West

Okay, maybe not the west, and maybe not the pinkest, but definitely the cutest case of conjunctivitis I've seen. Between the crusty, snotty eyelashes and red spider-webs where the whites of his eyes should have been, he looks a mess. But we've had a nice relaxing rainy day. We haven't had a good rain in a couple months here, so it's such a blessing to look outside and see the dreariness staring back at you for a change. I was starting to get too uplifted all the time with the endless blue sky and puffy clouds. Sometimes you need a good cloudy sick day to really come to terms with life.

Hopefully tomorrow he'll be good as new, and life will get back to normal. Until then, here's hoping for a long night's sleep, drifting off to the splatter of raindrops against the windows.
