random hooky day

I woke up this morning at 5:45 a full 1/2 hour before my alarm goes off and I was not a happy camper... but I also wasn't mad either because I was rested. So I go to open my eyes and the left one is oozing something. I have been having an issue of redness and not only did I diagnosed myself with pink eye but I also started taking antibiotics as a proactive approach. So there I lay and pull out a tissue, dab my eye and throw it away because WebMD had told me that pink eye was highly contagious and you don't want to infect the other eye. So at work I been sanitizing myself silly washing my hands (even more)and just trying not to touch anything that could infect either me in the other eye or anyone else. So this morning as the ooze comes out and i'm in pain and it's sensitive to light and there is this fuzzy film over my eye AND I look like a complete one red eyed freak I was like OH SHIT I can't go to work like this and be infecting the world. So I called my manager and co-worker and let them know that if i did come in it would be late in the day. So I go to the appointment ready for them to tel me it was pink eye, get some more antibiotics and be on my merry way. Well no, it never can be that easy for me!! My mom has eye issues, but it never occurred to me that I would inherit that. I mean I have jacked up eyes and astigmatism which I never feel like the eye doctors other than Dr. Mike and the one in VA (I forgot his name) get correct. So Dr.uuummm it started with a W but honestly I keep thinking they said Wazowski and then I kept saying to myself MIKE WAZOWSKI!! You know from Monster Inc. (stay with me). So anyway he and his nurse/tech who had on this horrible perfume AND can you say to someone can you please leave cause you are offending my nose right now!?? No I guess you can't... He says something to her in medical-eze and I said Ok I need ENGLISH!! So he tells me I have retenitis and uveitis which are both inflammations and I will have to do drops every 1/2 hour for the next 3 days while I'm awake. So it's the middle layer of my eye that is inflamed and has protein build up on it. So it's not contagious, I didn't do anything to cause it except get older. He said it was pretty common. So Stink Tech printed out some information and went on my way. So I'm in the car with my classy dialated plastic sunglasses debating do I go to work or do I just go home? And then I started having this pity party like WHOA IS ME!! I even think a tear feel as I conjure images up of my eye never healing and then eventually just falling out! I can get real dramatic real fast LOL But just as fast as i can get dramatic, I can get it together.

So last night I was watching Eat St on the Cooking network and they are showing the Gypsy Queen Cafe food truck. Now normally all the food trucks they feature are in Santa Monica or Ontario or everywhere but Baltimore!! So I was excited and they did the 'this is what we have' and I sat on my couch and salivated. So I had said last night I'ma take a few hours off from work one day and go find the truck. Well in the midst of my pity party (see above) I was like... well i have chicken and salad I'll just go home I don't need to find the truck today even though I had already mapped it and knew they were gonna be on Hopkins campus from 11-2. And then I said HOLE UP!! I can go find the truck and then go to work! So I went got cash and went on my mission. Baltimore has this whole Food Truck phenomenon going on and I have been to a few events called 'The Gathering' where they all park in a central location and you are just in food heaven. I have seen this truck and I have seen the line wrap around, but for whatever reason I never made it to this truck. I have made it to Grr Cheese Truck where I had this wonderful Caribbean mango grilled cheese sandwich made with guyere(sp?) cheese! And then there is the Chicken and Waffle truck which has... well chicken and waffles but they are so good!! And I have dreams about them. And then there is the Cupcake Runner which has... well cupcakes run by one of my friends/former co-workers. It's always a nice sweet end to the day. So on the TEE VEE last night they show this crab cone from Gypsy Queen. It's a waffle cone filled with fries topped with old bay and then topped with the crabcake which is then topped with this aoli sauce. And you see all these doctors and nurses and techs in scrubs at either University of MD hospital or Johns Hopkins lining up to get either that OR that macaroni and cheese cone OR the fried soft shell crab sandwich. Everyone looks happy! SO TODAY after I talk myself into going to find the truck I got the crab cone. Let me point out that this is my time of the month that I am PMS'ing so I cry literally at the drop of any random hat. So the lady in the truck gives me the cone-o-food and after one bite I have to fight back tears it is so freaking delicious!! So instead I nod and point and say this is really good. I go to my illegally parked car and do loud mmmmm's and ahhhh's!! 1/2 way through this culinary adventure I want to get out of the car and find a sign like one of those sign dudes and point people in the direction of this truck!! The only and I do mean ONLY thing that would have made it better is if I had a jumbo 1/2 n 1/2 which is one of the few b-more things that I have adopted! The crab cake was CRAB with not much filler. It was just so good! and I am anxious to go try err thang on the menu!!

On my quest to find the truck today I passed Hopkins Hospital and a woman who is clearly a patient is standing on the sidewalk in her hospital gown and house shoes and is coughing up a few lungs. Now try as I might NOT to stare... that's exactly what I kept doing. And the more I stared the more she looked back at me and the more I kept willing the light to turn green. It did finally after like 20 minutes LOL

I am convinced that if my cat could talk, every other word would be bitch. So I got her some food that she likes and eats ALL of it and on the first day she looked at me as if to say 'FINALLY bitch you got me some good ass food!!'

My office is a campus set near a lot of trees and there is a family or families of deer that live and eat in the back of the parking lot. So one day, there were about 4 deer eating grass and one sees me in the car and then starts running around like OH SHIT SHE CAN SEE US!!! Now this must have been a young deer because the other deer look at here like BITCH CALM DOWN!! And then she does! I'm assuming she was a she cause there were no antlers.

There was a stink bug in my car the other day. I had to pull over because if I swiped at him and he landed on my leg there would have been an accident involving me and a pile-up of cars. They are indeed the stupidest bugs. I mean a roach, an ant, a WHATEVER scurries when you try to kill it. Today one is walking across my TV and I go get it with a magazine to flush it. It's almost like they say oh you want me to get on that magazine and NOT fly away even though I got perfectly good wings?!?! NO PROBLEM!! Then they swim around in the toilet like DAMN I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!! THAT BITCH SET ME UP!!! LOL

I think ima go get an eyepatch and say ARGH alot even though we are way passed 'talk like a pirate' day. Hell I can barely see out the left eye... that's a good idea
