Piercing, Appointments, and Work


Well boy did I do a number on myself today!!! So I have a few body piercings (just a couple really :oP) I have my nose , my labret , my belly button, and my tragus (the sticky out thing in your ear) all pierced, and 3 holes in each of my ears. Well this morning I was shopping at Wal-Mart and saw a cool belly button ring that I wanted to try out. It's one of those ones that you have to pinch close and have a stone pinched in between the ring. Well I go home and I get out the pliers and push open the ring enough to pull out the stone then I try and put the ring in my belly button...well being that guy who did my piercing sucks, and my piercing is too deep, I needed to open the space in the ring more, which I did with pliers and the ring went right in no problem. Well now I need to close the ring just enough to fit the stone inside. So first two times trying to close it went just fine...it closed up a little each time. Let's just say third time was not the charm this time. One side of the pliers slipped between the space in the ring and I ended up pinching my skin against the ring...took a right nice chunk out of it too...damn that hurt...bleed quite a bit too...glad my tetanus shot is up to date. I managed to try again (very carefully) to pinch the ring shut and was able to get the stone in...so now it's all good...achy but good...it looks nice...I think I'll like it.

So the appointments went well yesterday. My PT was about 15 minutes or so...she had me put my foot in a whirlpool tub and do flexing against the jets, then she had me take it out and show her the range of movement. I have to go back Thursday and Friday and we're gonna do strengthening exercises. She was fine with me going back to work. (Damn! Double Damn since I got a second disability check, I thought the first one was the only one I was getting...turns out I was making near what I was at work!!) Rileigh's appointment went well too. Thank You Aunt Lynn for the pee collection help!! It was too funny...A.L. took Ri out to pee and she sniffed around a while and then squatted at which point A.L. put the little Tupperware thing under her, Ri looks at her like "Do I know you???" and pretty much cut it off...but we got enough for the test. The vet said it looked fine, no blood or anything. She said Rileigh may be "leaking" which is common for spayed females or that she might have a UTI or a Bladder Infection. So we got meds for both of those, if it's the leaking then she may have to always be on that med, but Britt says it was like a whole bladders worth of pee...I didn't see it so I don't know. She threw up the first set of pills...Britt put it in natural chunky peanut butter...we think that's the prob...she took them just fine in wet dog food this morning. She's just the funniest character...the dog I had growing up used to eat around the pill, not Rileigh...she went for the pill first...little weirdo. But anyways, we'll see how things go on these meds.

So I went back to work last night...yup...it sucks as much as I remember. I can't stand the person I work with....I try to be nice to him and talk to him and basically get grunts back. He didn't even say he was sorry to hear about my mom when I got back from the time I took off when she passed away...I said I was sorry to hear when his wife miscarried. He didn't even ask me how my ankle was, and at one point last night I went "ow, ow, ouch, ow" cuz I put too much weight on my ankle and it hurt...a nice person would have asked if the other person was okay...but NO!! Then later I heard him on the phone, I was in the office doing some cleaning when he got the call, and he was talking to one of our co-workers and I heard him go (in the most sarcastic voice ever) "It was the awesomest, just like nothing had changed" obviously talking about working with me again after 5 weeks...scumbag!!! ARGH!!! Sometimes people drive me nuts...I'm very much a people pleaser type person, I hate confrontation, I hate uncomfortableness, I like being friends with everyone, so I hate these kind of work situations...boy do I miss some of my past co-workers...I'd take the guy who slept all night over this guy! Well anyways enough time wasted ranting about jerks. Work, otherwise, went well and the 2 guys who relieved us came in and said "Hey, nice to see ya stranger, how's the ankle", and otherwise harassed me like they normally, jokingly do. The only thing that sucked (other than my co-worker) was doing perimeter checks...it was kind of painful walking on the uneven ground behind the house. By the end of the night between the 4 perimeter checks, and 8 room checks, and cleaning my ankle was very sore. But then I went to Wal-Mart, bought Juno and a cool belly button ring, came home and put a new hole in my body practically, but at least I now get to snuggle up with a sweet beagle and go to sleep!!!
