kick me when i'm down

My friend called me up and he's headed to newport for a party. It's a stuffy party so he asked me to hang after. I told him about the chronic cantina on triangle square. I told him I'd meet him at 8ish. I took a shower and was getting ready while watching the world series. the tigers were up 1 nill. My body itched from a heat rash so i put on a heap load of hydrocortisone on it. i thought it was weird how cold and fluid it felt. And I didnt remember it coming from an aluminum tube. Whatever. I put some lotion on my face and i noticed a heat sensation. I started to worry. I grabbed the tube and read the contents. Lo and behold! 0.25% capsaicin! the same stuff on ben gay. The stuff that makes chili hot; ARTHRITIS medicine! oh, shit!!!!!!!

My skin burned like lava stuck to it. I quickly jumped in the shower. Tried warm water - made it worse. Tried cold water - made it worse. Got out of the shower and looked for lotion... Didn't help. I read the note on the capsaicin tube and it said to put cooking oil on it. Ran to the kitchen and moms asked me what's wrong. She told me to put cold water so i yelled at her. I opened the cupboards and looked for oil, dang! i used it all frying chicken. Thank god for olive oil. I put it on like a roman god. Ohhhhhhhhhh what a feeling. I was almost in tears from the pain.

I called my friend and told him that i'm miserable and in no condition to go anywhere. I'm sitting here typing and waiting for some relief. laughing and crying at how stupid i am.
