Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it's not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.
Honestly, it's a huge unexpected step from "meet for coffee" to "come shower in my apartment." Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you're just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you're not lying it's not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you're done dealing with this and clean again.
Once you've cooled it and applied polysporin, you should put a bandage to keep from smearing off all the polysporin onto your clothes and keep it clean. If you don't have a bandage that clean long sleeve will do, but it might get a greasy mark you'll need to treat later for laundry: try rubbing in a dab of Dawn before laundering it.
Bear in mind, it may randomly start hurting and feeling burny again later, because the nerve endings hate burns. Cold water will help again. Fridge temp is fine, helps numb it without causing ice damage.
Strawberry jam, agreed. It doesn't slither away like jelly. And if it's a packed lunch, put a thin swipe of butter on the bread first to stop the jam from soaking through.
We did also get a reminder from our Congressperson today that fireworks aren't just illegal and dangerous to the user, they can cause devastating wildfires. Which we don't need any more of. Agreed, but what about the dumpster fire over there where you work, Representative?
Cat hair is notorious for floating everywhere, so yes. That said, the heavy duty (extra-fluffy) dry Swiffer sweeper pads are really helpful if you have smooth floors. And a squeegee is effective to remove cat hair from fabric surfaces they sleep on like the sofa and plush mat. Knit clothes and staticky microfiber fabrics love cat hair, smooth woven cotton lets go of it more easily, if you're picking out an outfit for an important meeting.
Honestly, as someone who's spent a lot of time in emergency departments, it depends a lot on the hospital and the time of day. Sometimes they're packed and sometimes they're almost empty. (At those times it's very important not to invite disaster by mentioning how quiet it is.) Having an Urgent Care in the same place for Triage to divert people into helps a lot as well.
Great! If you haven't already, shower and text her you're clean and available, although of course you understand if she's busy right now.
