It&#8217;s like when you were little, and you were really, super-duper puking-up sick, and then by the third day, you could sit up and watch TV (if you had one, which I didn&#8217;t, so I just played with a stick and a rag and read 800 books) and you got to eat a little sherbet and people were cheerful and not so worried about you and talked about when you would be ready to go back to school?  That&#8217;s what today&#8217;s like for me. And I&#8217;ve discovered that when people call me? I BRAY AT THEM. Like a mule. Cheerfully braying, with my excessively nasal voice and gasping because I still sorta have to breathe through my mouth, which is UBER sexy. I&#8217;ve had my two least-favorite reps call me today, I&#8217;ve dealt with car dealers, and everything&#8217;s been handled at a very high volume with an undercurrent of &#8220;wheeze&#8221;. Interestingly, I&#8217;m more inclined to talk to those who annoy when I&#8217;m sick, mostly because I seem to have lost my filter, and I say whatever in hell I want.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, I even expounded on the remarkable ability of football players because not only do they have to memorize all their plays\/maneuvers? They get knocked down and hurt and STILL come back and remember where they&#8217;re supposed to run. I&#8217;m not saying they should get Nobel Peace Prizes or nothin&#8217;, but I know if someone clotheslined me in the parking garage, I sure as hell wouldn&#8217;t remember where I was going, let alone what the F-12 running play involved. That and I have to have &#8220;offsides kick&#8221; re-defined for me every season. Sigh. I wish I could blame the cold, but it&#8217;s just plain empty-headedness. I do have the hand signal for HOLDING down pat though.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m a-brayin&#8217; and feeling a bit more cheerful. Tired as a mule (don&#8217;t even call me an ass) and for god&#8217;s sake, don&#8217;t ever call me Jenny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My spirits are a little better today, despite my continued fishbowl-state with Le Grande HeadColde.
