March 16 - Day Two on Prednisone

"'Roid Rage" is Real

I thought I'd covered all the bases.  I stashed the cutlery in the garage and tuned the television to a leprechaun movie.  I now want to stab leprechauns.

A concerned friend, who knows I live near Notre Dame asked how long it takes to get to the Golden Dome.  "Don't worry," I said, relieved my mountain climbing gear is buried in boxes in the back of the same garage where the steak knives are vacationing.   "Jesus is safe."

I can breathe and thanks to a lovely little nightcap of antihistamine and codeine, I can sleep for hours at a stretch.  I slept through the sunrise this morning, but awoke feeling like a werewolf must feel just before a full moon.

                                                                * * * *

No more leprechaun movies.

I found a movie about a woman who returns for her high school reunion to find her mother has opened a bed and breakfast in their home.  The main character, who is a doctor, is offered her old room.  Her mother takes down the imaginary velvet rope she's placed in the doorway after begging her daughter to stay there.  Daughter agrees, provided her mother agrees to treat her the same as any other guest.  

Okay, so I now I want to jump INTO the picture tube and strangle them both.  Then I want to find the people who wrote the script, tie them to straight-backed chairs and make them watch the entire film.

                                                           * * * *

Awww . . . a sweet drama about an elderly couple who find each other after years of being alone.  Now I'm waiting for one of them to die.

I'm turning off the television.

daytime television

Turning off the television is always wiser than turning on the television.

After my second deviated septum operation a few years ago, I was given a bottle of major league painkillers, which to this day has not been opened, and was given ten days' leave.

I watched daytime television for the first time in about twenty years on that first day off.

I was back at work at about eleven a.m. the next day, 8 1/2 days early, with the gauze still stuffed up my nose, and with black and blue shiners beneath both eyes.  I told the students that my intellect got into a fight with the television, and the tv set won.

It only hurts when I laugh/cough

I'm so glad I'm home alone, so the kid who knows "the Heimlich Remover" won't ambush me from behind.  Thanks, for the laugh, Steve.  Really.

No problem.  It was

No problem.  It was self-defense.  I could feel my brain rotting watching that stuff.
