Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Can I Call in Ugly?

I'm not sick, so I can't call in sick. I want to call in ugly because I don't want to be seen in public.

Kelsey sneezed, jerked his head and struck my face. My cheekbone is now bruised. I still have the Tommy scratch going down my chin which started bleeding again today. My hormones are out of whack and so my face is breaking out. My face is bruised, scratched and covered with spots. This might be a good time to become a Muslim.

I think you're in an abusive relationship with your dogs. :)

Foundation. Lots and lots of it!

My dog knocked out one of my front teeth this past easter. I looked just awful. And it was drafty as hell, all that extra air getting in through that gap ;-)

Dave, it's just a matter of time before people start referring me to women's shelters.

Michelle, there are days that I really wish I could wear a veil over my face. Why do Islamics have all of the fun?

Karen, sorry to hear about your tooth. My dogs have broken my nose three times.

Maybe you should start adopting girl dogs, no wait Baby did break my nose too but it was an accident. Something about that metal plate they put in the golden retrievers heads when they are born just makes them deadly when they jump up suddenly. And no you can not call in ugly, you are beautiful... inside, outside, scratches and all!

Yeah, those metal plates in Golden's heads are deadly and when they jump up suddenly, it's like being struck by a cannon ball.
