Spider Bites & Other Drama

You all want to know how the Prince concert was right? Mmm hmmm. Let me tell you. It was to be his last concert. THE LAST ONE EVER! I was so pumped. To see Prince live has been a dream of mine since forever. This was my night! I finally get to see Prince perform Purple Rain live. This has got to be heaven. Guess how it went?

I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I DIDN'T GO! That's right...I didn't make it. I'm so disappointed. I wanted to go so bad. I bet you're wondering what caused me not to go? Well...because I'm a walking talking emergence! That's right, I had to go to the hospital again. I swear the nurses in the ER know me by name. Nevermind the fact that this was my second visit to the ER in 2 days. On Sunday, I went because a mosquito hijacked my eyeball. My right eye swelled up so bad that it was no question of whether or not I should get it checked out. I looked like I had just taked a left hook from Mike Tyson. It was really bad.

But on this day, it wasn't a mosquito that would lead to a trip to the ER. It was a chocolate loving spider. Yes a spider. While asleep at my aunt's house, a spider bit me in various parts of my body. The most severe being on my mouth. So I wake up and the left side of my face feels numb. I could barely talk. I thought that I'd suffered a stroke or something. I reached for my mouth and felt the mound on my mouth. I got out of the bed and I headed into the bathroom. When I saw my face, I screamed. I looked as if someone had performed a botched lip injection causing my lips and the left side of my face to swell. LOL. God it was terrible. And it itched like crazy.

I began to feel various portions of my body, and I learned that my face wasn't the only place that the stinkin spider bit me. The nurses at the ER had jokes about my spider bites. They were calling it "Uncle Spider" because of the places that it chose to bit me. It bit me on my left arm, my hand, my inside of my left thigh, the outside of my left thigh and on the left buttocks. So "Uncle Spider" had a good ol' time while I was sleeping. If I had suffered the bites on the lower parts of my body, then I would've been fine. But naw...the spider had to bite me in the mouth, basically rendering me useless to see Prince. I hate insects. The doc gave me some anti-biotics and some itch cream. My cousin kept telling me that the spider probably laid eggs in my lips and that freaked me out. The doctor said that the spider didn't hatch any eggs in my lips. But now I have a serious case of the heeby jeebies. I keep itching and smacking myself. LOL. This is not fun.

Cancer-Free

Tests were taken on the tumor, and it was found to be benign. That's a huge relief. I taking meds in hopes of dissolving the mast to prevent surgery. I'm being watched closely by the doc because he said there appears to be another tumor forming on another part of my spine. I'm not worried though. I know that everything will be ok. I refuse to let the formation of a little tumor stress me out. I already have enough stress.

The Tire Went BOOM

I did a car switch with my baby bro today. He took my car & I used his. What he neglected to tell me was that one of his tires had 2 nails in it. So guess who was driving when the tire when completely dead? I was driving the car and the sound of the tire dragging was horrible. My best friend was with me. She and I were scared because we were a considerable distance away from hom and didn't want to be stranded. So I pulled into Mobile Station to try to fill the tire with air. That didn't work. The whole tire needed to be replaced. There was no way that we would've made it home on that tire. So, I called my uncle, he said that there was a tire under my brother's car. I had to pay the technician at the Mobile Station $10 to put the new tire on. I was angry at my brother for deceiving me. I made him pay me back my money too!

I'm So Gone

The jackass strikes again. I was making copies at one of the copiers and I got a papercut. Jackass walks up behind me and begins to watch me at work. I walk over to the first-aid kit and I get a band-aid. As I proceed to put the band-aid on, he says, "Aww the pretty girl has a boo boo. Do you want me to kiss it and make it better?" I say, "Buzz off!" He moves in closer, laughs and says, "Or what?"

Wheww! I almost forgot that I work in a corporate office. Your boy almost got a right hook and swift kick to the cajones. I was pretty angry. I complained once again. Not only did I complain, but I also had my brother AND my COUSINS (yes there is an S on the end of that) meet me at my job once I clocked out. The guy never came outside. I'm glad he didn't because it would've been a nasty situation...not to mention very immature and unprofessional. So, I had my brother round up the troops and told them to go home.

Today, I got a call from our Office Director telling me that the guy was fired and encouraging me to hold the grudge against the culprit and not the company. He was spilling some crap about how he was so sorry that I had to endure such troubles from an idiot. He also kissed up to me big time. I listened, but the bridges have burned. I'm leaving. I've already established that. I'm hunting for a new job. I can't stay. This harassment episode just sealed the deal. I plan to be out of there by the middle of next next month.
