Of Mice and Men :/
SO, I call my brother today who lives in Virginia and I tell him that he and my other brother (who also lives in VA) owe me. I explain that since I live in Pittsburgh, I'm the one that has to take care of my parents when they need something, especially medical help and advice. Well, as some of you know, my dad had major hemorrhoid surgery Wednesday. To make a long story short...he did fine. I call him this morning and ask how he's feeling, and he tells me "as well as can be expected". Then he proceeds to give me "The BM report". (Kill me now!) He had "2 little marbles yesterday and twice as many today." So, I decided to inform him that "No one has ever died from not pooping for 2 days." He proceeds to tell me that, and I quote, "Oh yes they have! It's called IMPACTITIS." (Don't bother looking that one up in Websters) :/ This little conversation with my dad made me giggle the whole way in to work today. Men!
Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better...I was sitting in my friend's office at the end of the day when all of a sudden, a HUGE baby mouse scurries out from under her desk and practically tries to run up my leg. (OK, it came no where near me.) I was very brave. I screamed so loud, I scared myself. It stood in the attack position, baring it's teeth and would not allow me to go out the office door. It ran right back under my friends desk. I jumped up on her chair, screaming. Everyone came running out from their offices to see what was happening. One doctor came into the hall and asked if a family just got bad news about their loved one. I ran in the hall screaming, "OMG! A mouse!" I forgot to mention that this was a patient care area. My friend had to go out and apologize to the patients who were sitting waiting for their ECHO's. Now, I swear this part is true...that damn mouse came out into the hall after me! OK, it was probably just trying to get as far away from the screaming nutball as possible. It probably knew I would try to kill it to protect all the patients. More likely, it was probably in fear of it's life worrying that I may faint and squish it like a pancake. Mice!
So, you see, I giggled to AND from work today. I really have to work on my irrational fears.
