Everything went to plan and I was quite pleased with myself. Even if I do nothing else with my day, finishing a load of laundry is a big enough accomplishment for me. And I did it so early! I'm a go-getter! Holding Mer close as we walked to the hospital, I had a goofy grin because it was just a really nice moment. Crisp, cold weather, spring fresh scents, neatly folded t-shirts, all good. Stopping to give her a kiss goodbye, I leaned in smiling, touched her nose with my nose, and heard her yelp in pain as she quickly jumped away from me.
"Ow!"
"What?!"
"I just got a static shock from your nose!"
Rubbing her nose, we had to laugh.
I get static shocks all the time in the winter and my clothes straight from the dryer probably didn't help.
When I kissed her again, the static electricity returned. We both flew back Matrix style, grabbing our noses, shouting "Owww!"
We parted ways saying goodbye with pained expressions and half-covered faces.
It was very romantic.

I came into the house today after putting my laundry in the dryer and when Luna ran up to me my hand shot such a huge blue spark off her nose.
She was so bewildered and gave me this abused look like, "What did I do wrong?"
I felt horrible!
love that dog.
it's so weird though, to have zaps come from your finger tips. Before I touch anything now I squint and move slowly. I look ridiculous.
Semi-related: Have you noticed your water pitcher callus is more pronounced in the cold weather?
is one of us supposed to be a DOG in this scenario?
just kidding. poor luna! i feel her pain.
it was still a fun start to my hump day :) besides, now we can do the electric slide and be like, "WHAT." ff
My water pitcher callus (thanks zaftigs!) would be worse, if I wasn't obsessively moisturizing my hands every hour...
The second I bring that stuff out at work it's like I just delivered an ice cream cake. People are all over me. "Oh can I have some of that?" Then everyone at the servers' station is rubbing their hands for 5 minutes.
On a semi-related note: Luna has a split down the middle of one of her foot pads. I tried to keep it protected by putting a sock on her foot. You can imagine how that went. Walking fail.
