WENT BACK TO THE DR. E.

I was and still am sick to death of coughing..Friday was 7 weeks, or maybe 8..who can keep track..So I went to Dr. E's at 2pm this afternoon and told him, first of all it's not the blood pressure medicine that's making me cough, it's some allergy, and I want my old blood pressure back as it worked and the new one doesn't..So he said fine, and was going to give me a inhaler, and I said you gave me one last time and it didn't work for Jack-Shit, which is a term I'm not sure he is familiar with. He said this one is different and isn't for asthma it's for allergies. So I puff on it 2 times twice a day. Then I said I want a shot..an allergy shot..and I want a lolly-pop when I get it..He laughed and walked out to get the nurse, then came back in with his hands behind him and leaned forward and in the 'I'm talking to a 6 year old voice', said:"Now if you are a very good girl and don't cry when you get your shot, you can have a piece of candy." and handed me a Milky Way miniature candy bar, giggled and left the room. I think he likes it when I come in to the office. So I got some nameless allergy shot, and a puffer. Which little did I know is like freebasing crank. I've been zipping around the place all afternoon. Had to go back and work an hour from 4:30 to 5:30, as Bam Bam was sick and everyone else was off for the day, and Tom had to be in on a managers conference call. I came bursting thru the door like Wonder Woman slamming my wrists together. I wouldn't say I was on a puffer buzz, but I noticed the Halloween candy was marked down from 50% off to 75 % off, and sold 2 kids $24 worth of Halloween candy. They were going to get a bag of M% M's ., so I steered them over to the baskets full of candy and showed them where the M% M's cost $2 a bag, they could get 5 times that amount of candy for the same price..Their eyes were as big as mine..Wow, really?....You betcha!...When they left I told them to brush their teeth after they ate the candy. They thought that was hysterical. They're new kids just arrived her from Chicago..I said you know you'll have to root for the Cowboys now instead of the Bears or we'll send you back. For about 1/2 a second they believed me..I think I made me some new friends. I came home and picked up the rest of the cracked pecans from Babs, who was using them as therapy to keep from smoking..you should check out her latest post, it's pretty funny. I am making 2 pecan pies..one for the Thanksgiving party at the apartment complex party room and one for Babs for doing all the nut cracking..I think about now she's wishing the nuts were actually attached to some former boyfriend to alleviate her frustrations from not smoking..Well, at least she hasn't kilt anyone yet. But I personally wouldn't fuck with her if I were you.

So we've been threatened with rain, hail and tornado's all day long...But you forget, this is Texas..which means we got nada. I think it sprinkled this morning long enough to make the streets slick and cause a few little old Czech ladies to skid around town.

I have to go now..the pies are in the oven, I'm still on a puffer high and I still have two more puffs coming. Any one want a bag of now or laters for .50cents..

Oh ....good news..Jamie's coming home from Virginia for 2 days..on my fecking birthday..what a great present that will be.

Tomorrow is Veterans Day..hug a vet.

.......I'M A SCHMUCK.......

I have been doing a little deducting..I have had allergies for fucking ever...sneezing, runny nose, and more sneezing..Every time a cedar tree has sex I sneeze..I'm from the old school of 'if one's good then 2 will be terrific.'...So the destruction's on my allergy (over the counter) meds say 1 every 4 hours..So schmuck that I am...I take 2 every 4 hours...I was so jittery from it that I couldn't sleep at night and so I changed the brand and went back to taking them the way they are supposed to be taken..Guess what?...The rapid heart beat stopped..yup...it's not the diabetes medicine...it's the 'too many allergy pills'...I'm not sure that's what the problem is..but every since I stopped taking them 2 at a time, the rapid heart beat has gone away..if it continues like this..I will not call Dr. E. but if it starts up again, will call him..But right now I think it's a case of Dr. Jackie over dosing her allergy medicine...yup I'm a schmuck.

Does anyone remember back when I lived in the little house that I kept getting bit by something on the face and was so swollen that my eye would close and my mouth sagged..and thanks to Tex and a few others I figured out that they were gnat bites and I'm allergic to them..The little fuckers are back..( I noticed it when I brought the plants in from the cold)I have huge lumps on my back and side from them..huge motherfuckers.. the size of walnuts grouped together, red and blotchy and itch like a sonofabitch...It's enough to piss off the Goddess..I art pissed also..But the good news is...I haven't been sick from the 'crud' that is going around...Every one on line and in West have been sick with the 'crud'..I'm assuming that the 'crud' is some form of flu, but so far, I am bug free....Of course now that I have bragged about it..I will come down with a case so severe that I will welcome some gnat bites..

like these....only a lot more of them and a lot bigger..

On the reading agenda I finished the book by Erica Spindler, Last Known Victim and it was really a good mystery...Smug schmuck that I am..I had it figured out by the time I was half way through..There were a lot of red herrings, but I'm too good of a sleuth and figured it out..Now I'm reading the Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz and it's pretty damn funny...Which is good, as I'm due for some funny...I started to read the God of All Animals but it started right off with the drowning of a kid, and thought 'I don't think so'...and switched to the Spellman Files...Actually all I'm doing is biding my time until I get the new STephen King novel.We don't have it at the library yet and I'm chomping at the bit..I have to go to the library today and down load all the information on Obama, Clinton, Hucklebee and McCaine for the old farts at the West Rest Haven..I am going there the 18th and give them all the scoop on what issues the candidates are for and against..If you want any information about the candidates you can get it from Glassbooth.net..or is it Glassbooth.com...or org..fuck I can't remember..oh kay...I checked..it's .org..There is a test you can take that will match you up with the candidate that is the closest to you on the issues..Pretty cool..

Probaly over the weekend I will do another report from West. Both the girls and boys teams are going to district playoffs...We're so proud...

I have to go do laundry....no really I mean it..I HAVE TO DO LAUNDRY.. I am wearing clothes that I only wear when every thing else I own is in the hamper...The t-shirt is from when the Cowboys won their first Super Bowl, like 93 or something..Plus a gnat just flew up my nose and Goddess knows what kind of damage it can do in there...fuckme till I sneeze..
