Soggy Blog of Avoidance

This week I happen to be down to about half the dose of those happy-euphoria-inducing steroid pills they put me on after my hospital stint. I noticed. For one thing, as much as I always doubt the validity of a pill affecting human performance, it's true. I was running literally 2mph faster than I normally do on the treadmill during my higher dose. I also was incredibly optimistic, sasiatied, and task oriented. That is totally not me.

WEll welcome back to earth.

Upon my 3rd day of lower does I experienced general anger towards the world. Day 4 was more sadness. I think I'm leveling off now. Maybe. I'm back to my slower jog on the treadmill (dang). I really always had doubts about the ways pills affect well at least me in particular, but coming off these is interesting experience in hind-sight, which is now a BFF.

Lucky for work and economy they lodged about all the bad news they had at me during my drug-induced euphoria and for that I am thankful.

NOw today is a rainy soggy day and I have another evasive dr. apt to attend. Oh joy. I literally had to bribe myself out of bed (another side affect was the not really sleeping so me prying myself out of bed is way more normal). A trip to Dunkin Donuts usually gets me more motivated. Yep that did it. Little miss sassy-pants had picture day today. I recall picture day. I recall knowing which packages every one else was ordering and always wanted to have the A package, teh big one. This meant your family loved you and had the money to pay for it. Well these days they do class pictures twice a year and I bought them the first round. Granted, the kid has a new haircut, but she also looks like a halloween jack-o-lantern lately b/c of a missing tooth so I'm not sure how much I want new pictures of this look. She, disagrees. I'm not sure how much stock the kids have in the pre-ordered pics these days b/c you can order them after the fact (of course you can) a proof will come home with instructions on how to order them. We shall see. I just don't want her to feel BAD that we aren't so gung ho on picture day as say Graces' family.

Who doesn't want to be the cool kid in first grade right? Ugh. Drama.

The morning commute didn't exactly brighten my spirits any either. A random accident had lanes backed up before I could even see the highway and then it was just trafficy in general. RAin. Grey. I think this is why I left NY, oh yeah it was. I would like to order some nice weather if I could.

I would also like to know what is with the international conglomerate of employees at the Tysons DD? Everytime i'm in there the line is at least 12 people long, there are at least 3 employees from 3 different countries that speak 3 different languages and none of those languages match with either the customers or each other and I'm guessing that is WHY the line is so long. I swear it took 14 minutes to make an egg and cheese on a croissant last time. This time I went for an off-the-shelf muffin and coffee, but this still required an exhange of words between 2 employees about the sugar dispenser. Yeah, you did over do it buddy but I'll forgive you. I wish I knew the secret to getting myself a franchise. I guess you need to pool some resources, use everyone in your family as employees and man the thing 24/7. Sounds like more work than i'm willing to put out. I dont' think you'd find me anywhere near a place of employment at 5am unless i'm trying to dislodge my car from a parking garage after a heavy night of drinking.

And for some reason I keep thinking it's Wednesday.
