Runt Dysentery

I have sore stubby fingers! After 6 months I got my beloved acrylic nails removed. I soaked and soaked in the acetone, seemed to take forever to loosen them to goo. Adam, the Vietnamese guy, keep trying to pry them off and I kept yelling because it hurt. So tonight I can type without hitting two letters at once but everything else is not doing so well. I tried to knit but the poor old thinned out nails are all beat up and full of catches and snags. And lets face it, this yarn has not a single strand of anything natural so it catches very easily.

I know, it seems like a ridiculous vanity but I love them. My real nails are so bendy and thin, not to mention unattractive, and I have the acrylics cut short and polished 'American' style- so they don't look like anything but a natural nail. One of these days I will get the tiger striped airbrush jobs, probably the same day I get the platinum false teeth with the diamonds. And the Pacific Islander tattoos (which look oh-so-attractive on wrinkly skin).

I was vacuuming today and the Adorable Molly was going crazy trying to bite the machine and the cord. She was barking so much she lost her voice for awhile but keep snapping at the vacuum anyway. UNfortunately she got the back of my leg as I pivoted around and I had a complete bitemark of her little nibbly teeth for hours. It's progressed now to a bruise, and fortunately didn't break the skin because I do NOT want to have Mandy fax me down her rabies shots! Molly has been slinking around her all day she is so ashamed.

We are waiting for our friends from RI to arrive- their plane doesn't get in until 10:30 or so and that's way past my... I was going to say 'bedtime' but it's actually my 'couchtime'. I'm not looking forward to this visit- actually don't look forward to may people staying here except MY friends, but I am gonna suck it up once again. Watch-me-now...
