Not a big deal, simply a broken blood vessel in my eye. It's only a spot compared to others that I've seen. I just noticed it last night when I got out of the shower.

Even though ragweed is picking up, I hadn't hardly sneezed or blown my nose all day so it was surprising to find it. This is the first one that I can remember having. I know there's no cause for concern, I'm just wondering if I need to come up with a better story than "yeah, I got out of the shower and there it was." Maybe scalding hot water, attack shower ferrets, I dunno...

I should have taken a pic last night. It's already lost some of it's bright red luster.
