Minty

Standing in the midst of hot beating water is the perfect way to start the day isn't it?   A hot beating realm of water beads striking your body in a massaging manor.  Ah yes, that is how I like to start my day.

As I stand in the sauna of my bathroom the aromas of tantalizing soaps have subdued my body with lots of bubbles and I rinse off.  I reach for my toothbrush before I get out, as I'm sure some of you do.  Yes, I brush my teeth in the shower.  Not that you all need to know that.  A little TMI, but eh...

Anyway I flip the cap of the toothpaste shut after I doll up my bristles with some minty goodness and a little booger of toothpaste flicks me in the eye.  There are only two words for me to describe what I'm feeling at that time.

IT BURNS.

If you have ever done this you are chuckling in comparison to my story of the morning fun.   I'm chuckling as I remember what it was like, but at the time the only thing I could think about was how the feeling of ICY HOT has invaded my eye and has now evolved into a flesh eating disease that is now engulfing my socket making the tears fall unwillingly.  Imagine the feeling of MACE along with a seventeen Habanero Pepper-like capsaicin sucking on the flesh off your eyeball. 

Oh yes, what a wonderful way to start the day.
