Actually, crumbly. I can&#8217;t quite keep straight what day it is, and I could have fallen asleep during the last rep meeting I had. I&#8217;m going back to the doctor tomorrow for all the fun annual stuff (and I say &#8220;fun&#8221; in the same way I&#8217;d describe having your shoulder dislocated as &#8220;fun&#8221;.) But I&#8217;m also going back because even though I&#8217;m better? I&#8217;m not better, and I&#8217;m still coughing at night. So so tired of that.  All these teenagers, with their three weeks of hiccuping or two weeks of sneezing, let&#8217;s talk about SIX weeks of the most irritating cough, and no, I don&#8217;t smoke.  But who gets the press coverage? Who&#8217;s got a unique, wacky situation? The blasted teens.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m really excited about the  presentation I&#8217;m about to go into &#8211; because Kristin somehow thinks I might lose my mind and try to fight someone. I think there are better (and more likely) candidates for that job around these parts, including one person who just informed me that the smell of patchouli makes her &#8220;crazy&#8221;. Makes her &#8220;wanna fight&#8221;.  I said it was like her own special catnip.  (The aforementioned rep was wearing some scent that smelled like a combination of Lysol and Patchouli. Lychouli?)  And Kristin? Let&#8217;s talk about how both times we&#8217;ve gone to Half Price Books at lunch, she&#8217;s had her Special Friend parked in the crafts section, talkety-talk-talk-talkin&#8217; and what are the odds of that?  I don&#8217;t have a Special Friend at the Half Price Books.  And, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to get into a fight today, mainly because I like to stay employed, but also because I seem to have been shot by a tiny blowdart filled with tranquilizers and psychedelic mushrooms, and I get to spend the afternoon swimming through the corn syrup of my mind. Or cheese. Whatever metaphor I&#8217;m going with at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>OH but I will say, if I ruled the world, we would know who Dannielynn&#8217;s daddy was, there&#8217;d be no more of this court bullcrap, Anna Nicole would be buried by now, and we would all just ignore Britney, including the paparazzi, until her hair is once again shoulder-length. Naturally. My apologies to my friend Cindy who has given up celebrity gossip for Lent.  Must lie down. Now. THAT&#8217;S gonna look 100% classy when they roll through on the tour&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brain is feeling a little fried right now.
