No, I'm not single...
I've never been divorced! Haha! Such a misleading but completely true statement. I'm going to use it since I thought of it. Too many rude people butt into my busines and want to know what's wrong with me for being my age and only getting older and still single--never married. Well, that may be the case, but I've also never had to get divorced either. That's a plus and to me (in the twisted way I think) a more positive way to look at my being single. There are negative connotations with my current state, but if I say "I've never been divorced" people will might think I'm married. Then there is a better chance they will not inquire further.
So, I filled out a bunch of profile/biography stuff on here and facebook. Basically it's the same on both sites so you don't need to read both. I am annoyed that I couldn't recall more of my favorite music and movies. Of course, I'm not at home and the television volume is loud enough that my long-dead grandparents can hear it in their graves in Utah. This seriously messed with my concentration.
Okay, umm, I think I make my own fears come true. Well, last week I needed to swallow some of my drink. Had the cup tipped toward my mouth and the liquid very near pouring into it, but stopped it just short of going inside. I must've needed some extra air or something because I involuntarily inhaled, but sucked the air from inside the cup. It all happened very quickly, no time to move it away from my face. When I inhaled through my mouth, I inadvertently sucked in a miniscule piece of ice. I didn't swallow it, but inhaled it. I started choking of course, but it was not lodged in my throat. I could tell it was already on its way down the wrong pipe towards my lungs. I immediately thought in order to help stop the choking, I needed to take a drink. Then I thought about how ineffective that would actually be.
If the ice went down the wrong pipe, but when I swallow the drink correctly it goes down the correct pipe headed towards my stomach, how will the drink be able to help ease my choking? Their paths wouldn't even cross. Then I thought about how incredibly stupid this advice has been throughout my whole life! Yep, choking on ice, an actual fear I once possessed, hence my crazy story, but living through my many experiences has significantly calmed my fear.
10 AM on Thursday, I will be doing actual Pharmacy Technician tasks in a real, live pharmacy. Today I only signed the paperwork. Goodnight kiddies! Off now--to buy some ice cubes (not kidding) and go home. I fear using the term irony incorrectly so I avoid it, but isn't this post full of irony? Or what should I call it?
