It was an accident - really! and a painful one at that. I literally gave myself a papercut across the tip of my nose, but with cardboard. I swear I was not trying to make myself look like Voldemort from Harry Potter.
I was moving a slightly heavy box, and was holding it by the smaller end flaps, when one of them ripped off and continued on an upward journey to my nose. After the initial shock of "what the #@!* just happened" I thought for sure I was gushing blood from my nose. I grabbed it and rushed to the restroom only to find a diagonal stripe across my nose with just a hint of blood. That was a relief, and I determined that is wasn't anything that a little bit of extra makeup wouldn't hide!
After the panic passed, my mind began to run all sorts of scenarios. What if I had severed the tip of my nose off? Would they be able to sew it back on if I had kept it on ice? Do they have plastic surgery for nose tips? Would I have to have my nose resculpted to a smaller size? Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill!
I am happy to report that my nose is intact, though a little sore. Indeed makeup did hide the stripe, and for the moment being I will not have to look like "the one-who-must-not-be-named".
Ta ta for now...
