A Scary Tale

This past week has been very appropiate for Halloween. Everything up-side down and weird and bad.

To start the week, I had lots to do at the office. The phone didn't stop for a minute as I was trying to finish a big project that was due Wednesday. To make things worst, we had more clients and visitors at the office than the whole past months together. Midweek, one of our subcontractors sent his father with a memory stick for my co-worker to download a work file on his computer. * Note: all of my co-workers are men *

My co-worker starts work on Wednesday in the afternoon so I kept the memory stick. Minutes later another subcontractor came to the office with his two sons and his 3 year-old grand-daugther (is that spelled right?). OK, so the girl is walking around the office and I had the memory stick on my desk, which I was trying to clean up to continue the big project. I insert the memory stick on my computer and this photo-something program that I-don't-know-why-is-installed-here *I hate it* appears on my computer showing some very very unappropiate pictures, unappropiate for me, for a workplace and much more for a little girl! The girl and her father were right behind me, and I was soooo embarassed with the event that I don't know how I managed to minimize the program, jump off my chair and explain that those pics were not mine, all in one second. Luckily, the girl didn't notice a thing, and later my co-worker was able to download the correct file on his computer.

I was in a bad mood already, but things got worst the next day, Thursday. My husband has had a very bad allergy for over a year. Basically, he can't breathe from one side of the nose and was scheduled for surgery in the morning. When I picked him up at midday, after surgery, he was acting very strange. Like violent. I've heard my boss mention how he reacted one time violently under the effects of the anesthesia, and this was the case. I was all confused and just tried to please hubby because I knew that at the same time he was in pain and had blood pouring from his nose, he was not being himself at the moment. He asked me to do a left turn where I knew was not permitted but he "insisted" not very nice so, guess what? I got my first traffic ticket ever!

I have carpet on my apartment. I understand that it is not the cleanest option for him right now, so he is staying at his mother's * haunted house * until he feels better. He misses me and he is coming back home tomorrow. Now, his doctor said that his allergies are caused by Coco. Did he really had to say that??? What about me? I've had allergies my whole live, all my family have allergies. Three months ago, I was in such bad condition that almost every breath I took caused me to start sneezing and continue for hours. I was lucky to see this doctor that prescribed a nasal spray that had not only controlled my allergies but also I was able to hear well again. So, hubby's doctor went from prescribing antibiotics and antiinflamatories for a week, a couple of times, to surgery. And then, bye bye to the dog?

Of course, hubby is not asking that. But now I feel bad because the cause of his health problem is living in the house thanks to me. Don't misunderstand me. Hubby loves Coco, and Coco can't live without his daddy. I gave up lots of things to be able to fight my allergies. I don't use make-up or perfumes. Everything I use is fragance-free. I banned candles, odorizers and perfumes at work, etc. I just kept the apartment (carpet) and Coco, and all my allergies are gone! I just hope that hubby's doctor prescribes him something that will help him in the long term, just like my doctor did. If not, Coco will probably be the last dog in my life. How sad.

Today I was taking Coco to work with me. I was running late and ate a banana on my way there. Coco stole the banana skin and disapeared it in a second. The vet told me that it is not toxic but is hard to digest. Basically I had a little farting pig the whole day at the office. Oh, and I had forgotten my camera at home so I couldn't take a picture to submit for C's costume contest. :(

The good news? I will start my Journal Class today!!!

"Boo!! Happy Halloween everyone, have fun!"
