I Blame the Solar Eclipse!

2017 Solar Eclipse day had finally arrived and I was ready for it. I had my snazzy solar eclipse nasa approved glasses, which made me look super cute. It was 93 degrees hot, my hair was pulled back into a ponytail and I wasn’t wearing any makeup. I really should’ve floated in the pool to watch this amazing event.

The last one I saw was in 1979, when I lived in Illinois. I was in elementary school and we made cardboard boxes to use.

If the full moon affects people’s moods and creativity, then it stands to reason that a solar eclipse would do the same thing. Right? I think so.

In my last post, I talked about my getting adult braces. My teeth still hurt and it took me an hour to eat a cheeseburger. I had to cut it up into small pieces and take my time. Afterwards, it took me forever to brush and floss. A friend of mine suggested that I purchase a fancy Waterpik. I did a little research on it and decided to buy one!

After the solar eclipse finished, I went to the store and bought me one of those badass waterpiks. I brought it home and assembled it, per the instructions. The instructions did say to charge it up, which could take up to 24 hours, before using it. However, I wanted to see if those batteries had an y juice in them. Sure enough, they did!

I looked at the front of that Waterpik beauty and pressed ‘on’ and that was the go for water to start shooting everywhere in the bathroom: On the mirror, the wall, the sink, the door, the floor…everywhere. Anywhere, but my mouth. I panicked and turned the Waterpik toward me to turn it off. The water was shooting out of the tip like powerful Superman-bursts. “I should’ve had it in my mouth before starting, but that didn’t make much sense to me at the time. So, I cleaned up the watery mess and tried again. Finally, I understood how to use it. It was still messy, but it worked great! Aside from water being everywhere, 15 minutes of my time was wasted.

Anyway, I blame the solar eclipse for my actions. It’s plausible.
