Pain in the mouth...

Ever had a bad day? I had one Wednesday. Yesterday wasn’t much better. Nothing major, just a few things that make you want to crawl into bed and just sleep the rest of the day away. It started Wednesday with my 6 month cleaning at the dentist. I am not so fond of the hygienist there. I really like the dentist and his wife who works in the front office. But, I don’t much care for this hygienist.

After my somewhat painful trip around my mouth and a panel of x-rays later, it was determined that I had 7 cavities that needed to be filled. Yes, 7. Lucky me, they squeezed me in yesterday to get the first half of them done. Yea…

So, I left the dentist Wednesday with a sore mouth and knowing in 24 hours I would be back. From there it was to my job at Security Horizon. It was pretty slow, which made for a long boring afternoon. My boss from Wag ‘n’ Wash called mid afternoon and said that the contractors were not done, like they had said they would be, but there was still work for us to do. I agreed to go in for a while after I left Security Horizon and got some food.

So, on the way to Wag n Wash I went through the drive through at Taco Bell. I got one of the meals that came with a LARGE cup of Sprite. Well, I made it about a mile, and I found out the hard way that the lid was not on tight. After making a turn, the cup tipped over and Sprite went everywhere. My cup holder was literally half full of Sprite. And of course my garage door opener was at the bottom of this lake of Sprite. Well, by the time this happened I was only about a block away from work. So, I just went to work and left the mess.

I worked for a few hours. I got the wonderful task handed to me of mixing the shampoos and conditioner and filling the bottles of shampoo and conditioner that we give out to clients. When we get the shampoo and conditioners in, they are in large jugs in concentrate form. We then mix some of the concentrate in another jug with water. From there we pour it into the smaller travel size shampoo bottles. That is what I did Wednesday night.

Wag n Wash has all kinds of different shampoos. The have the basic house shampoo, one for white dogs, one for black dogs, oatmeal, honey almond, flea shampoo, skunk shampoo, one for bronze dogs, and a few other that escape my memory right now. But they all use just one cream rinse. It’s an apricot one. I had to fill a bunch of those up. That smell from the apricot cream rinse just makes me smile. It’s amazing how much a scent can have an effect on you.

I had to call Brian on the way home to open the garage door for me, since my opener was full of Sprite. I took it apart and cleaned it out with water and it worked just fine the next morning. My boss at WnW (Wag N Wash) was giving me a hard time that I could take a straw and drink right from the cup holder on my way home. I told him I had to row my Sprite boat home. I cleaned it up as best I could when I got home.

Thursday was back to work again (SH). Then in the afternoon I was off to the dentist. Like I said, I really like the actual dentist. He is very good at shots. He did two shots today, and I never even felt them. I was so numb that even my eye socket area is numb, which really is an uncomfortable feeling. It took about an hour and a half, and I got three of them filled. I go back on December 29 for the other 4. Yea.

Off to WnW that night for more prep work. We are starting to get down closer to being done. We should just be really cleaning and stocking the next few days. I have all ready received my first paycheck from them. When I got to work they had me doing data entry in the computer, which is in the little office in the back room, which has no heat vent. I was freezing! So after about 2 & ½ hours back there with my coat on, I couldn’t do any more and I went out into the main store and hung leashes and collars. As of right now they are planning on opening on Monday. We shall see! The contractors had said they would be done on Tuesday, but they are still a long way from done.

Both owners were there last night. They are really neat people. They are both so nice and pretty funny! I think I am really going to enjoy working for them.

I think my fish, Sushi, has bad vision. He only sees about ½ the food I put in his water. The other ½ usually sinks right next to him! Other than the vision issue, he’s a great fish! I need to clean his water pretty soon.
