5 things

5 things to be thankful for (despite crappy news from the doctor today)....

i am feeling okay today. my leg is definitely much better but the pharmaceutical industry is killing me. the blood thinners i am on aren't stabilized yet, so if i am not swallowing a bunch of pills, then i am injecting the crap into me. my future career as an iv drug user is that much closer now that my fear of needles is gone! and thankfully, all of my bruises are located in only places that only my husband and the plastic surgeon who will one day do my tummy tuck will see.

i work indoors, in a blissful, air-conditioned office 'cause the heat in philly is disgusting. on my walk to the train today, i opened my mouth to say something to the person i was walking with and i swear i swallowed a big rush of foul, humid air when i did. i gotta tell ya, i nearly gagged, it was so gross.

i am thankful i didn't hit send on the email that i was directing to the wrong person. i thought a brother of one of the goddess girls was emailing me in response to a note i had left for him while he's on this super road trip. turns out the email from "jb" was actually from my other friend with the same initials. not that anything bad was being discussed, but "jim" -- who was just saying hello -- would have thought i was completely nuts.

i am thankful for friends who threaten my body with the wrath of O.B.P. if it doesn't quit being a freak and play nicely with the drugs i am ingesting.

i am thankful for a wonderful puppies who decided that mamma needs some extra love and take turns giving me lots of doggy kisses when i got home. of course, it could also be the fact that they were trying to hide the fact that one of them ate another fcuking doggie bed while in the crate today.

in a nice close to this post, i believe that would be the 5th bed they have shredded into cabbage-like consistency.
