Ugh...I wandered over to let the EZFiber worker that was digging 2 doors down that all the houses along our side of the street have underground sprinklers.  As turned around to walk back home, I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that the neighbor's sprinkler head hadn't receded into the body like it should have and I smashed my big toe into the pop up, taking a chunk of skin out at the top of the nail bed.  It was bleeding onto my flip flop.  Bled through one bandaid in short order.  Had to pivot bandaid strategies, exchanging a fabric bandaid with cute narwhals for a second skin NextCare plastic bandaid so I don't bleed through my shoe.  Had to pivot shoe selection too.  Ouch ouch ouch...😭

You should have chased the EzeeFiber clowns away completely for being incompetent and continuously incurring lawsuits, si mam ma'am.  Or, better, flung poo at them, whee mam ma'am.

Are you a red-blooded American chica, huh mam ma'am?
