I should've spent the extra $3 on the name-brand lotion
But no, I had to "save" $3 on the CVS brand.

I got it to my desk and went to apply some to my hands and it wouldn't come out of the tube. I realized there must be a pinhole in it somewhere, letting in air. Foolishly I just squeezed the tube very hard. I found where the pinhole was -- it was half the seam at the top of the tube, that was not sealed. I unwittingly squirted lotion all over my keyboard.

If you have the extra three bucks, spend it.

6. I loathe CVS
But there's one in the building here where I work in DC, I needed a prescription, and I needed the lotion. It's just taught me not to buy their shit.

8. Heh.
Thank you! The weekend itself will be very nice. Traveling home to HB. Manis/pedis with sisters, then family meeting, then party with whole family; Sunday brunch, lazy day at the Griffith Park Observatory.

Then Monday -- sister's brain surgery. It's a good thing; it will repair an excruciatingly painful condition she's had to endure for years.

Enjoy your weekend! :hi:

Sounds like a fun weekend planned. :-)
