Last night, as Marc and I were driving home, my mom called me on
my cell phone and asked if we could come pick her up and take her to the emergency
room. It turned out she had cut her thumb open when she was trying to open a bag
with a knife (note to you kids - use scissors!). So we picked her up and drove her
to Washington Hospital in Fremont. The emergency room was packed. We figured my
mom was going to be there a while. Kenny and Leslie came a few minutes later, and
the plan was that they would drive her home. So after maybe like an hour, Marc and
I left for home, since we figured we didn't need four of us crowding up the waiting
room.
I called a couple hours later, and my mom STILL hadn't been seen.
My dad had finally shown up, so my brothers were on their way home. So I called the
house at 10:30 pm, and my parents STILL weren't home! I think I probably could've
gone to medical school and learned how to suture myself in the time it was taking
her to get a few stitches. Sheesh! I don't know what time they finally got home,
but I called this morning and they were there, so at least they finished before dawn. :P
This morning we saw Nemo 1 using his clay pot! See, we bought
them a clay pot because we didn't think we could keep an anemone alive (yup, just
like in "Finding Nemo," anemones do host clownfish - it's pretty cool, because the
clownfish will often bring food to the anemone). I'd heard that tank-raised percula
clownfish (which ours are) often would take to using a clay pot, since that's what
they raised them with. Ours had been hosting with anemones in the store, so I wasn't
sure if they would take to the pot or not. They'd pretty much ignored it for days,
but today Nemo 1 was snuggling away in the pot! It was too cute.
While driving to work this morning I saw something pretty funny.
The road I'm driving on is a pretty busy street, and the two directions of traffic are
separated by a concrete/landscaped median, with the occassional gaps for people to make
U-turns and such. So this car in front of me swerves into this gap, presumably
to make a left turn. Well, apparently the gap he was using was meant for U-turns only,
because I heard this noise, and looked in my rear-view mirror, and this car is freaking
sitting on top of a small triangular piece of concrete median! The purpose of which
seemed to be precisely to keep people from making a left turn rather than just a U-turn.
What a boob.
Oh yeah, last night we went to Petsmart to look for a backpack for Bandit.
It was $45!!! So it looks like we're going to be carrying his shit after all.
Talk about this in the forums!
