When Nature Calls....
What a day...
I ended up having to be in a distant city for most of the day working with some clients on a remodel. It threw my whole day off in a big way!
I'm on this 'diet' of sorts in yet another attempt to calm the Lupus waves of pain, so, I've been drinking 150 ounces of water a day. I try to drink 100 of those ounces before 10 am! Just kidding but needless to say, I'm making a lot of trips to the bathroom for my bladder that happens to be the size of rice grain. It use to be bigger I'm sure, but then I had three kids who kicked the daylights out of it, laid on it and finally, tried to drag it out with them I think...I'm not sure though!
The morning was rushed and I just didn't have a lot of time to be spending on a run to the loo but when nature calls...So, I hurried and as I prepared to sit down...a spider!!! Crawled... OUT OF MY PANTS!!
What the heck? A Daddy Long Leg! How did I not feel that? I clearly need tighter fitting pants. There were some impressive dance moves happening in my bathroom for more than one reason! Geez. I hate spiders!! I hate them so much even my words to describe my hatred of spiders, shrink in fear! This set me 15 minutes behind on my 2 hour commute to work! I was so bugged! Seriously.
I tried to make up time getting to my client's home and really did alright but rather than take the time to unload my trunk full of tile, I just ran up to the door to greet them and get the latest on where they were at in their thoughts. After our initial visit of catching up, I told her I would start bringing tile in from my car.
As I dashed out, still trying to gather my thoughts that were scattered in my whirlwind head, there, right beside my car was a snake!! A big old snake coiled up with his head up and mouth wide open! Holy Cow!! I ran. I ran so fast back into the house. Inside, I was screaming for dear life but outside, I looked as though I was just filing my nails like no big deal...and calmly said, "Maybe I'll get those tile samples a little later. There is a snake beside my car and I just don't feel like being someone's snack right now."
This poor woman..."There's a what? Did you say a snake?" Then she started screaming and yelling for her husband. By the time he got out there, it was gone!! I couldn't concentrate. All I could think about was that darn snake all up in my grill, under my car, crawling through the vents. On the long drive home, I was creeped out. Spiders in my pants, snakes trying to eat me...what next?!!
What a day! I didn't have to go to the gym tonight. I figure my heart was racing most of the day so that should have burned a significant number of calories, and then there was that dance party in the bathroom and the sprint to the client's front door...I'm good all week in the exercise department.
