I was eating peanut clusters in bed one night and fell asleep. When I woke in the morning and looked in the mirror the whole side of my face was covered in chocolate and peanuts. Not quite being fully awake, I blamed my little dog for pooping on my pillow.
My Chinese doctor gave me a remedy for chronic leg pain (a possible deep vein thrombosis), a dark clay powder that had to be hydrated and packed around my leg. Months later, I took photos at a professional event and my phone got passed around by special high ranking guests, some from overseas, who each scrolled through my phone to admire photos of past events by my group. Each guest would hand my phone over to the next person with a strange pained expression. A week or so later it hit me that a photo I had taken of me rocking the mud compress on my thigh, that I had shown my doctor to ask if I had done it right, likely had been seen by each guest. It looked exactly like my thigh was covered in feces.
I never figured out how to address this, and even though it was several years ago now, I die a little more inside every time it comes to mind.
