The last couple of days I have been taking care of a baby blue jay. I guess during the storms it fell out of the nest and my mom found it by the mail boxes. We couldn't find the nest and I didn't want to just leave it outside becuase of all the neighborhood cats, so I'm keeping it till it's wings come in and it can fly good enough.
What I think is amazing is how protective and nuturing these blue jays are. Everyone has heard of stories about blue jays dive bombing people and cats if they get to close to their babies. Well i'm keeping the baby in a bird cage i have next to the window and I always keep the sliding glass door open so Harley can go to the bathroom or run around or go crazy... anyways, so in doing so the baby calls everyonce in a while and when it's hungry and while i was at class on monday the baby must have called and the mama heard and flew in the house. Needless to say when I got home my mom was feeding the baby and told me the mom was in the house somewhere. I found her up in my brother's old room. We caught her with a blanket and let her go in the front yard.
I leave the baby outside in the cage during the day so he can get some sun and air, but everytime I go out there I see the mama in that tree and when I feed the baby she gets upset and starts chirping and bouncing from branch to branch.
Don't worry i'm letting the baby go. I just wanna make sure he can fly really well before. He can practice in the house, where there aren't cats.
So today I went to the doctor and got a blood test... and of course it didn't go as planned.
I was waiting for them to call my name when this man walked in the building to bring his soon-to-be-girlfriend (who was one of the ladies who drew blood) a huge thing of roses. It was adorable.
Right after that, the other lady who draws blood called my name. I went in the room and sat in the chair ready as I am going to be for them to come at with me with a needle. During this the lady who got flowers told her victim that she was so nervous (after getting flowere) and she was shaking. OMG you don't tell them that right before you stick them! So my lady "goes in" and in and in. She "found" my vein no problem; she said I have huge veins :) but nothing was coming out. What?! She said my vein wasn 't pumping the blood! But that's the whole function of veins - to pump blood!!! I guess Natalia was right when she called me an ice princess lol. And then she starts moving the needle around and talking about it in detail. that's when i started freaking out. She called the other lady for help and i'm thinking "no she'll be worse - she's shaky! oh god!" so she came over and dug around for a while and then pulled out. By this time my hearing is going and they're asking me if i'm ok. Yeah you're digging in my arm with a needle and i'm fine. The flower lady stuck me agian with a new needle and was done in a sec. :) thank god, but i was already passing out. they started running around giving me cold compresses and crackers and making me chug juice. I didn't pass out all the way. Just got to the point when you can't really see anything, you're tingly all over, and you can't hear anything. They made me sit there with my head down for 10 min lol.
During that time waiting, an old man came in and my lady stuck him and was almost done when he said "are you in yet". she: "almost done" him: "wow you're good at that" she: "well normally but not with that girl" (pointing to me) him: "did she not want to give up her blood" I had an OLD man do better than me and make fun of me. Super!
Ok so I just got home and was checking my messages and some random person sent me 2 jokes... here they are:
JOKE 1
Management Lesson:
Johnny wanted to have sex with a girl in his office, but she belonged to someone else. One day Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to her and said "I'll give you $100 if you let me have sex with you..." but the girl said "No." Johnny said "I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up." She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend... so she called her boyfriend and told him the story. Her boyfriend says ask him for $200, pick up the money very fast, he won't even be able to get his pants down. She agreed and accepts the proposal. Half an hour goes by and the boyfriend is waiting for his girlfriend to call. Finally after 45 minutes the boyfriend calls and asks what happened? She said "The bastard used quarters!" Management lesson: Always consider a business proposal in it's entirety before agreeing to it and getting screwed.
JOKE 2
John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life!, between the legs of me wife!" That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night! He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best toast of the night" She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?" John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife." "Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said. The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary." She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."
Wasn't those beautiful?
Ok so I also went to the mall today with Natalia... always fun. So we went into a dressing room together at Gadzooks and I tried my thing on and was done so I went to sit on the bench they have in there to wait for natalia to finish trying hers on and I broke the bench. Yep, that's right my fat ass sat on it and it came right off the wall!!! So natalia screams bc it startled her and we begin to laugh and snort and the people working there didn't even come to ask us what that loud noise was or if everything was ok. So if you're even in the last dressing room at gadzooks i hope you think of me lol.
