You had to get up in the night to use the bathroom and stepped on your roller skates which you forgot to put away, your feet slipping out from under you, you fell headlong into the knob of the bathroom door, thus the shiner.
You were on your way to a "Support Montana Wildhack for Congress" rally, and a "Tralfamadorian with skin the color and texture of an orange, who tapped danced and farted at the same time"*, tripped you. You fell against a box of "Breakfast of Champions," thus the shiner.
It looks to me like it may have been something of your own doing. Like tripping and introducing your face to the corner of the coffee table or something.
For now, wear it with pride, tell others you was doing it doggy style and something spooked her and she ran under the bed and your face ran into the bedpost, but heal soon.

I'm guessing a bicycle was involved. Did a low branch clip you?
gb - good guess but luckily the bicycles are blame free otherwise i would have given them a good thrashing.
ruby lifted up and clocked you with her head..?
oh man..you need a texas size huge for that shiner.

yellowdog - nope, ruby's in the clear on this one.
robert - good guess but i haven't done that in years.
An encounter with a Tralfamadorian?

But that's just a guess.

Well, I guess Montana finally had it and clocked you a good one.
Oh yeah, and ouch you bet! Heal quickly!
shaw - excellent guess but i'm pretty careful around plumber's helpers.
crazy - montana is the sweetest most forgiving soul i know. if i had a nickel for every time she's forgiven me i could go buy a pair of wool socks.

billy - i am wearing it with pride. in fact i'm tempted to add a little shoe polish to my good eye.
Ouch! I was going to guess a run-in with Ruby, but that's already been taken. Ooh - Know - you had a fight with the neighbor you dislike so much!
secret - nope, i think the old neighbor has dementia. he doesn't seem to recognize me when we run into each other.
You really did it with your new Red Rider BB Gun but you blamed it on a falling icicle?
When do we learn what did happen?
tex - thanks for the reminder. i keep forgetting to pick up a bb gun.
billy - as soon as i get the energy.
