Abbey and I haven't seen each other in a few weeks (which is a long time for us), so we decided to meet up after work today for dinner. So after a late meeting I had I headed out to the Mall of America to go to a Mexican restaurant that is in the mall. Now, this really has no relevance to the story, but it happens I eat there and it irritates the heck out of me, (which has been a handful of times), they never get my order right, and what I think I'm ordering, it never turns out to be what I think it is. Like today (I promise, this is leading into the story, just giving you a little background), I ordered what I thought was cheese dip with some chorizo in it. No...it came and was like chorizo with chunks of cheese...not good. So anyways, it has a green chili pepper that was garnishing this dish. I don't know when it happened, but I mush have touched the chili with my finger, because towards the end of the meal I have an itch....in my eye. Seriously, not even a 1/2 a second later my eye is on FIRE! I have never felt a burn like that before. Abbey and I are seriously in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden I just start swearing. Haha, she told me I was making a scene, and the drama queen in me probably was, but it hurt! She laughed at me and I cried..haha. So I took my napkin and doused it in my water glass and kept putting it in my eye. During this time the waiter comes over and clearly sees something is wrong. He askes what happened, I tell him, and he proceeds to tell us of a time that sauce flew into his co-workers eye. Really, I don't care....my eye is on fire, I can't see, and I'm not listening. He maybe should have chosen a different time to tell us this story. Anyways, it eventually goes away, and all I had to say to Abbey was that I was glad I wasn't on a first date or anything and it was just her, because that would have left a "burning" impretion on that guy....pun completely intended. So we proceeded to do a little shopping around the mall, to which I looked like a freak, one eye had make up, the other did not. Lovely.
I'm about ready to head to bed, I'm exhausted, because Tucker was throwing up all night, so I didn't get much sleep. I felt like I had a kid, I was laying on the bathroom floor all night with my pillow and comforter...mostly because I would rather have him throw up on my tile versus my carpet...but let's just say for arguments sake, It's because I was being a compassionate pet owner ;) Anyways, I called my mom to take him to the vet, because I had to run to work and they told us just to "watch him". Why do I feel like doctors and vets never have answers for anything and their solution for everything is to just "watch it a few more days and if it keeps happening to come back"? So annoying! So hopefully he does better tonight :)
