Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
This morning my wife tried to kill me. Each weekday morning we have the same routine. Around 5:30 she nudges me and indicates that it is time for me to get up and make the coffee. The alarm is set for 5:35 but we rarely need it since the cat usually wakes us up before then. After the coffee is made, we sit in front of the computer and watch a TV show that we have downloaded from the internet with our coffee. Once that is over, I go into the bathroom to shave and shower and by the time I come out the kids are up and I grab some breakfast to go and kiss the family goodbye.
OK, now to the attempted murder portion of the blog. I keep my shaving supplies below the bathroom sink in a basket. Typically I will have taken my glasses off before reaching down there to grab my shaving gel and my razor. Unbeknownst to me, the wife had Bogarted my shaving gel can to use in the shower. With my glasses off I have about 20/100 vision with my left eye. At that level of sight I can only make out shapes and colors so all I know is that I am looking for a orange-ish colored cylinder that is supposed to be shaving gel. Since the gel was not there but in the shower, my poor eyes only saw the red-ish can of Cruex (hey, I had some issues a while back!).
Cruex contains Miconazole Nitrate. I later read the fine print on the can (after I put my glasses back on) and it specifically says, "DO NOT USE in or near the mouth or eyes." They go on to inform you that you need to call the poison hotline if ingested.
I was able to get to work OK despite this near death experience and I have since then forgiven my wife. But if these blogs suddenly stop happening, you will know why.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
