Take a crazy pill and call me in the morning
So I went to the Doctor's office yesterday to renew my anxiety perscription. (It's been, shall we say, an emotional month.) It was such an adventure... had some blood work done... got weighed... the whole nine yards... it was a fruit basket short of V.I.P. treatment...
Some remarkable things happened at this visit though. I discovered that #1) I have lost 20 pounds since starting this semester. HOW THE FUCK I DID THAT I HAVE NO IDEA. More importantly, I have NO IDEA what part of ME lost the weight. #2) I asked for my blood to be checked for A.I.D.S. or an S.T.D. or parasites or a small eastern european imigrant family... you know, stuff that doesn't belong there. Mind you I am not worried that I have any of these things in my blood stream, but a boy can never be too careful, and I haven't been checked in a year or so... so I figured, "what the hell!"
The appointment went off without a hitch... so I went back to my parent's house to lay around for a bit (because I was dizzy from giving blood, and from taking nervous pills). Mom got home and I told her all about my visit. No problem. She seemed fine. My father called me this morning to tell me that my mother was actually horrified for my health all night long and couldn't sleep. In her mind she connected that since weight loss is a symptom of people who have A.I.D.S. and since I mysteriously lost a bunch of weight, and then mysteriously asked for an H.I.V. test that I MUST be worried that I ACTUALLY HAVE A.I.D.S. OH MY GAWD... and I thought my alarm clock was obnoxious to wake up to... try proving to your parents you aren't DYING as a wake up call. Good Lord!
So thats just one more glimpse into the circus I live in. Stop by sometime... We'll eat popcorn, wear makeup, and I'm hung like an elephant... Nick Graham: The Greatest Show on Earth.
