Dear Body,

Fuck you. Get healthy or I'm leaving you.

No Love, Me

So far, 2014 is off to a super shitty start. I had a stomach virus earlier this month and now I have bronchitis. And not just a little bronchitis, either. I'm coughing up crud that looks like the shit I cleaned out of the waste lines in our chemistry analyzers last year. I feel like death on a cracker. I've had so many nose bleeds everything tastes like pennies. Went to one of the hospitals' off site urgent care offices yesterday and was given a prescription for Azihsfsoaerjdjfmyacin (no clue how to spell it), a "Z pack" antibiotic. I also got some of the upper and downer Nyquil crud. God, I hate that stuff. Tastes like antifreeze mixed with WD40. I'd rather drink a gallon of Pepto Bismol in one shot than a dose of that stuff. And I got carded! WTF!? Buying Nyquil and I got carded. Is this a new thing? OK. Maybe it isn't new. I do remember that we used to get a recidivist crisis patient who always was OD-ing on Robitussin. That stuff tastes awful, too. Why the hell would someone drink that to get high? I mean, ew. So yeah, I'm ready for a full body transplant.

I got my rubber stamp swap from Starry-Eyed Stamper (known as SES). I got all kinds of awesome designs. :D She and I use what are called "unmounted rubber". (Here is how you use them: http://www.theenchantedgallery.com/mounting.html) You can buy grab bags from various companies. This is usually where the companies dump discontinued/poor selling/inventory reduction type items. You can get a bag of turds or a bag of gems. If you get the first one, you trade those, which is what SES and I do. I got a HUGE frog, a crowd of screaming people, a lard lizard, a vacuum cleaner, a woman warrior/superhero (totally going to vanquish the housework vacuum cleaner), a saltine and so forth. Why would I want a rubber stamp of a saltine? Reread the first few sentences of the above paragraph, "I feel like death on a cracker". I need a stamp of cheese now. That way I can say that someone's cheese has slipped off their cracker. Yes, that doesn't sound right for a greeting card but I don't just use stamps for that. >:D

SES also sent me a post card she did. She likes to do what she calls Mash-Ups. This is where you take two things and make a visual pun or something like that. The illustration she did was of an old fort (think Wild West Frontier thing) and a floating head of a swami wearing a turban. It was Fort Une. LOL. I have an idea to work on for later. Actually, two. Both are bad.... Yeah, I'll torture you with them later. Here is one I did earlier: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8374859/

I knew I wouldn't have enough rubber to exchange for what I received from SES so I had someone make a toy for her. I mentioned to her that I found a toy yeti at a gift shop and she was really interested in it. Then a person I follow on another website who makes dolls said she was open for commissions to pay for treatment of an illness. I had that person make a sasquatch for SES. I can't wait to get it to send to her. :D

Today I will be sitting on my ass and not doing a damned thing. I feel too shitty to do much. I kept falling asleep yesterday. One of these days, I will wind up putting out an eye or something because I fell asleep while crocheting. Yesterday I just dropped everything.

Where are my tissues?

health, illness, rubber stamping
