Spilled My Coffee, Broke My Shoelace
You know that song by Fuel, “Bad Day”? Yeah, theme song. My headache did finally subside yesterday. After a quick smoke and some laying on the couch, I felt better. Unfortunately, the worst was yet to come. I gave Gordon a call and woke him up (payback’s a bitch, right?). I finally dragged my fat ass off the couch and bought some smokes. And then, it happened. While preparing my tasty dinner of Chef Boyardee psghetti and fake meat balls, I sliced my finger open with the top of the can. And it was a whopper. From the center of my right, middle finger’s pad all the way up to where the whites of my nails would start (I’m a nail biter, so I don’t actually have whites on my nails). It was bleeding. A lot. So I did what any wimpy girl (who’s boyfriend is out of town) would do—I called my mother. Yeah, that’s right. I called my mommy. I’m such a brat.
Now, I am the queen of the medicine kit. I’ve always got some kind of weird ailment, and I have drugs of all sorts. Nothing fun, like pain killers, wait, strike that, I do have hydrocodone. I’ve got pills for stuffy noses, runny noses, headaches, migraines, pms, allergies, cough syrups galore, sore throat meds, and even some meds to take care of our more delicate circumstances. Unfortunately, I do not have one inch of space in my whole life devoted to injury. It’s always illness with me.
So. Here I am in my pjs, sans bra, with wet hair, and (of course) the bastard can lid (covered in cold psghetti goo) fell out of my hand and landed smack in the middle of my shirt. My finger is bleeding profusely, and I don’t even have a bandage. Much less Neosporin. So it was off to the quickie mart at 10:30 on a Monday night looking like I just crawled out of a cardboard box on some downtown street. And as if my humiliation wasn’t bad enough, their was a HOT guy behind me at the quickie mart and all I had to pay with was a roll of quarters. Just call me white trash.
Something else happened last night as well, but as it was unrelated to this post of humiliation, I’ll save it for later today.
