Mumps.

And this is the day BEFORE the other side blew up too (though my skin has never been as clear as it was when my face exploded so kudos mumps I guess?)

While I had this delightful disease I seriously started thinking that this is just how fat my face is (my face may be tubby but not 'shops in Iceland' tubby) and was simultaneously convinced it'd never go back to normal (it's normal anyway! but it'll never be normal again!).

I'm not very fun to be around when I'm poorly.
