Devil (-eyed) Woman

So I’m sitting at my desk at work minding my own business when I feel something in my eye. This is not unusual, as I live with two cats and regularly retrieve invisible cat hairs from that area. Just that morning, I removed a giant eyelash from the very same eye.

Upon feeling said foreign object, I did nothing out of the ordinary, which means I licked my finger and smeared it all around in there. When that didn’t work, I wet a Q-tip and twirled it around on the surface of my eye trying to catch the assumed wayward hair.

I know those things are bad. I know one is never – ever – supposed to touch ones eyeball. I’m just saying I do that sort of thing ALL THE TIME and nothing untoward has ever happened. Only this time, the gods punished me.

Not only did they burst a blood vessel in my eye and leave me rolling around on the office floor screaming, “MY EYE! MY EYE!,” they also gave me a pimple right where you cannot possibly miss it.

Bastards.

Happy tax season, everybody. May stray cat hairs forever avoid your eyeballs.

Gross!

My tub has been draining slow for a while now but I have not been able to get the drain stopper off to clean it properly. I finally got creative with needle nose pliers and this is the result:

I enlarged the revolting picture as much as possible just for you.

I can’t believe that giant mass was really in there. It represents two and a half years of shampooing with no strainer. I tried to remove the stopper and replace it with a strainer when I moved in but I can’t get the damn thing off.

If you have any suggestions, please pass them along. I searched the Internet and tried everything I can think of to no avail. It says “Premier” but I can’t find that as a brand. There is no nut at the base of the top turny part, no tiny screw at the top of the shaft. I find no way to pop off the top turny part to get to a magical screw people say may be hidden inside. I am stumped.

I have shorter hair now so it won’t build up so drastically but still, I need to get the damn thing off. Help me, oh wise Internet.

In the mean time, I’m just going to go throw up a little bit. Have a nice day.
