new shoes
i got new shoes yesterday. i was so excited to wear them today. i picked out a fabulous outfit... matched sweater to shoes... trouser socks to shorts to top... it is perfect and lovely.
i walk into work and the huge fish tank in the reception area is about 1/4 of the way full. for a split second i wonder if someone is changing the water... then i realize that the carpet is soaked and the tank has broken and all the water has spilled out.
i realize this as i'm walking over said soaked carpeting and getting my beautiful new shoes all wet with septic dank fish water. gross.
my whole area is soaked, all the creative offices are soaked, the cafe wood floor is ruined, and my new shoes are ruined.
not to fear... i am a resourceful girl...
baby wipes. yes, baby wipes.
baby wipes are handy for many things. many things that you wouldn't necessarily think you could use them for. several of dirty messes can be cleaned with baby wipes. permanent marker is one such mess... on skin especially. another such mess is dank ass fish water on fabric shoes. YES!
if i wouldn't look so retarded doing it i would high five myself on how awesome an idea it was to clean my shoes with baby wipes. i happen to carry some around in my car. i've done so ever since max was a baby. in fact, i have baby wipes in my car, at the skatepark, at home and i will likely have them available forever... until i die i will continue to use them.
they are awesome.
my shoes are awesome.
the broken fish tank is not awesome.
the poor fish in the 7 inches of water isn't awesome.
these are big fish too... they're about 8 inch long goldfish and a pleco about the same as sucka at our house... 8 or 9 inches long.
my boss is in the bahamas too so he doesn't know about the fish yet and they're his... they're his babies too so he's going to be none too happy when he returns to find the tank like this.
in other news... i think i accidentally doubled up on my meds today. i looked at my birth control pack and noticed that tuesday's pill was still there so i assumed (since i couldn't remember) that i didn't take any of my pills today so i took them all and now i feel really strange. so i'm thinking that maybe i missed one of the weekend days and have been behind ever since and now i'm doubled up on all of them today so that means 2 anti-depressants and 2 topamax and 2 birth control... i don't know how bad that is but it feels really weird.
i hope it's not too bad and that i don't need to go to the doctor or anything for it. we'll see i guess.
