  • So, on the way to the bus stop, I threw up and a lot of it got on my work shirt, but I did not have time to go back home to change it. Then my bus was 20 minutes late - over half an hour of standing in the drenching rain. I am wearing my jacket zipped up at the office to hide the state of my shirt. This is not a great morning.

    Surprise puking ranks right up there with surprise peeing.
    I think I am going to do a digital detox this weekend.

    What does that mean?
    Applying hand sanitizer to your fingers and toes

    It means turning off the Internet and reading a novel.

    I thought it might be something like that.
    Got one or two picked out?
    I wish I could shower myself in Benjamins, clean my body with hundred dollar bills, be filthy freaking rich. OK, maybe I am not being serious here. I just want to be able to afford to buy steak again.

    Reality check. Forget the affordability when your Gout or GERD can't handle that kind of food any more. When only highly processed meats are your best bet in moderation. Funny I discovered I can eat a lot of "Slim Jims" with no apparent issues. Not a substitute for steak though...I get that. :(

    Though we all know how healthcare industry feels about "processed" anything. :oops:
    I am drinking that gallon of foul liquid since I am having my first colonoscopy tomorrow.

    My friend did one, and they actually received color pictures of it. That was strange, wasn't prepared to look at it.

    Yuck. Not fun.
    Good luck getting through it.
    Send some healing energy to one of my friends, please. He is going in for open heart surgery later this week.
    I bought myself a ticket to see Peaches in concert on Mar 14 in Seattle. Shame I can’t link to most of her songs here.
    I want to go home and curl under a warm blanket after taking a hot shower and putting on pajamas, brew some tea and heat up some chicken soup, watch a comforting brainless action movie.
    Mom just called. She resents that I won't help her cook her Thanksgiving dinner and that I won't help decorate her house for Christmas the day after. I resent her shame based parenting, but I decided not to respond with that.

    You can break it, but you need to not only DO the required actions (locking her out, ignoring the phone), but also CONTINUE them. But only you can make those actions happen.

    And if she tries to escalate or do anything dangerous, get law enforcement involved. Seriously, you need to DO something. Imagine how much better you would feel with her poisonous influence gone. But if you dont take action, she will never, ever stop.

    And if other family members get all uppity about it? Lock them out too.
    So I basically have to wait an hour downtown in the rain because the bus I was relying on to make my transfer never showed up. Public transit here sucks, I am thinking of quitting my job so I don’t have to ride the bus again.

    I'm sorry this happened. I remember a time when my Dad took off for a while and left my Mama and I stranded at the horse pasture with a tropical storm or hurricane (I forgot which but it was one of those bad storms like that) coming in. We had to start walking home with it like that. I tend to try to look at such things as an adventure, stay positive and just roll with it. I hope you made it back home ok.
    I want a swanky cigar to smoke tonight. I just bought The Conjuring 4, so I am going to watch that this evening.
    I wish I could be a full time professional movie critic, with a large following and enough money to live off doing that alone. I want to be the next Roger Ebert critic superstar. Life goals.

    I don't want to do a YouTube channel since I hate the sound of my own voice. I plan on having a website full of written reviews in the near future, though.

    Is there a local paper that you can write for? We have a free one, Northern Exposure, where any movie column is catch as catch can and not consistent.

    Better Roger Ebert than Gene Siskel or Judith Crist. ;)
