So for the week I'm out of work, I have to still be on call. (I don't even get paid for it. Bullcrap, right?) So I called yesterday to ask if I is be okay to go up to DC around 3 today because I was invited to celebrate a family friend's 75th birthday with dinner and a movie. They said it should be fine.
Today, just as I'm about to go out to look for a gift (bc I only found out about going up day before yesterday) and to also Giant for $5 sushi day, I get called in. ._.
Lol mom was pissed, she thought they called me in BECAUSE I called and mentioned wanting to go to dc in the evening. Personally, I think they said until 3 (rather than my usual 4:30) because they knew I was hoping to go up.
Regardless, I knew I wouldn't feel up to it, anyway. I explained to a couple coworkers that I have an out tolerance that goes down throughout the day and that I'll probably want to stay home and maybe make new plans for the weekend or sth.
Mom and Mary did go up. I might have been able to catch them if I left straight from work and left my car at Wawa, but nerp, didn't want to, I changed like 6 diapers today and lunch was all blueberries.
So I went to giant and got my sushi (Mary picked up a gift to be from me, yay) and some other discount frozen junk food. I went to BK across the street because I hadn't brought lunch (it was only a 5 hr shift) and got their new sandwich.
The twisty tick remover didn't work, and the metal key BARELY did it. And that cat was so good and patient, I couldn't believe how still she stayed while I futzed around holding her FACE and trying to snag and pull a tick off her eyebrow.
And then I flushed the awful thing and gave the cat treats for like the 4th time (I gave her some every time she was good and patient while i screwed up getting the thing off her)
And then I literally pulled aaaallllllmost all my clothes off and threw them in the washing machine and that's how I ended up sitting at the kitchen table in my underwear eating a cold chicken sandwich.
Wow. That is a day! I've never tried to remove a tick with a tool but you can get them to leave by putting a cotton ball soaked in white vinegar on their bottom. They hate the stuff and will pull their head out so you can remove them.
God, that thunder is glorious, tho. It's good! Am obvious attempt to throw their hat in the ring with the Popeyes and McDonald's chicken-and-a-pickle sandwich. XD
The tools have like.........a little thin part to catch the tick near the mouth and then you pull it up, but it was by her thicker, sleeker face hairs and I was having a real time catching it.
Eee, I'm sorry! And like. Food at the same time. Echhhhh. They gross me out, too, I do NOT like dealing with them. (it's why I spend $60 on a single Seresto collar to keep them away for almost a year)
"Sure, what time?"
"As soon as you can. Within an hour would be great."
"You got it. Until when?"
"Around 3."
"omg. Ugh. That collar cost a fortune, it's supposed to be keeping new friends away."
