Feel the burn!

I only wish I were referring to muscle strain and the feeling you get from a great workout. But no, this would be likened to the rush felt by a person standing at the front of a line of rioters facing police with tear gas and pepper spray. Let's start with my wifes garden. It's got the full contingency of veggies; lettus, zuchini, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, and jalepano peppers. For dinner I thought it would be tasty to chop one of the jalepanos and put it on my sandwich. I chopped it up, washed my hands right afterwards (these peppers are potent), had my sandwich (Yummers), washed the dishes. Later that night I, just before bed I took my shower ( saves time in the morning) and then we retired for the evening. Nice day. 

The next morning I got up. Washed my face, brushed my teeth, combed my hair and put in my contacts. That's when the gun began. I put that first contact in and I thought my eyes were going to bleed!!! There must have been some pepper still on my fingers and I put it in my eye. My eyes watered uncontrollablly, my sinus started to evacuate. And I still have one eye to go! It took 20 minutes for the burn to subside. Note to self, Erica chops peppers from now on.
