Funny thing happened…, originally uploaded by Tink*~*~*.

… On the way to the festival center (the old Wonders of Life building gets a workout once a year). I found two more Zyrtec-Ds in my laptop bag last night, so I took one before bed. I was just passing Mission: SPACE and tearing the packet open. You know how it has two plastic bubbles, but there’s only one pill? Well, I threw the wrong half in the trash!!! =8^0.

A nice lady stood guard while I flagged down a security dude to authorize breaking and entering into a trash can ;). And the she gave me some Purell to sanitize the outside of the bubble before breaking it open.

I am relatively safe from sneezles for a while now.

I do think she needs a cool aunt, however! 😉
