Elin Vs. Allergy Pills

[doronjosama]

Apparently, these things will sometimes make me brick stupid, even though I need to take them in order to survive the pollen here in Texas.

That laundry I mentioned last night? Normally, I check all my pockets before I put clothes in to wash. Not so last night, I guess due to the total imbecile factor induced by my allergy pills. In going through the stuff I got out of the dryer this morning (I had to dry one load this morning because they lock the laundry room here at the ridiculously early hour of 10 pm...), I found a completely empty tube of Disney Princesses Chapstick. I mean, the entire tube was totally wiped clean, inside and out.

However, there is no Chapstick anywhere on any of the clothes. It's a laundry miracle!

But.... where did all the Chapstick go? I admit, I am completely boggled. And feeling kinda dumb that I missed an entire tube of Chapstick in one of my pockets. Durrrrrrrr....

Today is a day filled with paperwork! You can almost feel the excitement, can't you?

You sure it was full before you put it in your pockets? Check to see if any of the cats have unusually glossy unchapped lips..

Just recently, I found a fun selection of detrious from Andrew's batchelor party that managed to hide out in dan's pockets...

Several of those plastic party-poppers that apparently went off in the dryer.. I'm still finding little peices of confetti etc from those all over. heh. Not to mentioned coke-flavored condoms (the soda, not the drug, although that might be something to market) which gave me pause until I realised that even if Dan were to cheat on me, he'd probably have enough class to not use coke-flavored jimmies. (Pepsi's okay, though.)

But I've done the chapstick thing before too, and nothing was left but for a faint cherry smell to a certain favorite t-shirt.

Water-soluble + no intensive color dyes + reasonably hot water (assuming a warm setting) = bye-bye chapstick and no remaining mess.

What allergy meds are you taking?

Oh I've done the forgotten chapstick thing too. But like the guy said above it's probably all disolved. Now a marker in the laundery on the other hand 0.o;; is not so easy.

Got my wallet washed once. A very bad thing, and needed to replace some important ID and related papers. What a mess.

That wans't as bad as me washing the busniess check book once. THAT was a disaster (since it also contained the deposit logs and such). @.@

Being basically retarded and having learned this fact long ago, I now stick to certain procedures to avoid things like "washing the phone".

The relevant one is: if I'm in the apartment, my pockets are empty. That's a rule, and I have a spot set up specifically for everything to go when I start emptying them.

I figure that when actual Alzheimer's starts to kick in, I'll have a head start on it and nobody will notice for a while, including me.

When I leave a Chapstick in the wash, I get the usual results; clothes with waxey spots, but I wash just about everything in cold so hot should take care of that before it hits the dryer.

I've almost completely stoppped taking any allergy meds, even as bad as I get hit. Of the stuff that's available I'm either left stupid, unconcious, or so stoned that once I thought the computer monitor at work was breathing and the keyboard felt like it was from sponge.

What? They don't have W&D-equipped apartments in San Antonio?
