Is it inappropriate to text someone at a time when you wouldn't call them? If so, my apologies, ladies... I'm home alone tonight. Usually I'm kinda cool with it, but tonight I am just feeling douchey all around, so the absence of people makes it just that much easier to be blah. Pathy is (finally) at her sleep study... I've been telling her she may have sleep apnea for close to five years now! Erika is doing the overnight. I should be sleeping since we are going to a wedding in Manhattan tomorrow. Ugh. I am so not in the mood for a long drive, dressing up, etc. I'm afraid my clothes aren't fancy enough, but I am working with our budget, our local mall, my chode-shaped body and PMS. Not cute. The two of us at the store(s) trying to find suitable clothes that we a)liked, b)fit into c)could afford... just not cute. Buuut we managed. I have a new bra that's basically HUGE. But that's to be expected. Plus we are staying with her parents for the night and will have to get up at lame o'clock in the morning so I can get to work on time on Saturday. I'm getting out at 8pm on Saturday for Pathy's 30th birthday party!!!!!!!! We are just now having our friends party, even though her birthday was weeks ago at this point... We had a lot of fun staying with her family at the cabin for the actual day; I suspect this will be a slightly different kinda party. BTW Kevin, if you read this, I'm sorry we're not watching dancing! Believe me, I wish we were. But I got two (2) thirty (30) packs of Coors for you kids. And some other essential party items. Like chips. And cheese/crackers/pepperoni. Strawberry shortcake stuffffff.... mmmm. I love that we had strawberry shortcake as our wedding cake :) And I hate that I'm going to sleep alone :( (3 saucy secrets | whisper sweet nothings)
I got Pathy's birthday messages all printed out and put in a book today... Of course our printer is currently disabled and the flash drive I borrowed turned out to formatted for a Mac... so it took a little longer than I was hoping for; but it's all done now and it looks really good! Twelve pages of nice notes from people from all over! Super! The book I found at Walmart, it's black and white but has teal lining on the inside. I looked for paper there to match but figured I'd have better luck at Office Max (which is where I printed from). They had THE PERFECT black and white paper with little teal boundaries around where the text goes!!! Couldn't have worked out better in that department!!!! I've been messing with Pathy, pretending I have absolutely nothing for her and am in total despair... hehe. Honestly, I would like to have an actual *present* as in something one buys in the store, but I'm just really broke and spent my money on the book, the paper, the printing, a card, a bag and tissue paper... I think she'll be perfectly happy with the book, but I would also like to get her something totally pimp. She is turning 30, after all. Suggestions? (2 saucy secrets | whisper sweet nothings)

Pathy and I are on the front page of the paper today... hahahhahahahhaha. We went to a pride picnic here in Oneonta and people from the local newspaper came and talked with lots of folks... so I'm not too sure how we were chosen to go on the front of the paper, but it appears that we were!

1. A week ago yesterday I went to urgent care for a "boil" that had gone above and beyond and was killing me... ended up in the ER getting it drained, and had to pack a huge hole in my gut full of gauze and saline twice a day for a week... I went for a follow-up visit today and was told that it is healing well, no longer needs to be packed, just put this cream on it and cover it with gauze. AWESOME! And another week of light duty. You guys are all lucky that I don't have a cord to download pics of my nastiness from my phone... but honestly, it was disgusting. And large. More than an inch in diameter and a few cm deep. And I found out today that I had MRSA as well... which I'm sure I got at work since we had several cases of it there. But the PA I saw today said that the antibiotics I took over the past week should have taken care of it and I should see my PCP for another culture after this thing is totally healed. I'm just so relieved to not be in so much pain... I was taking wayyyyyyyy too many pain relievers just get through the day. I've been alternating between trying to just go into zen meditation and forget that I even have pain receptors and a body and getting all fight club on myself and just focusing on the pain and the moment and the life experience and the humanity of it all! lol (8 saucy secrets | whisper sweet nothings)

More dreams about being unprepared for school this morning: I'm on the school bus and realize that I haven't done my English homework for Mr. Luettger's English class. I am fumbling through my backpack trying to find the necessary tools to do it (a notebook, a pen and a dictionary). The contents of my backpack and falling out everywhere, half the time the bag is not even mine, the notebook turns out to be graph paper, etc. I call up to Heather Melita for help and she is making out with Kristi Veenhof several seats up (yeah, high school crushes!)... I see them stop and then Heather comes back to my seat with her homework in hand; she gives it to me to copy and returns to her seat. I try and reorganize but everything is still falling all over the floor, I can't find an empty page in my notebook, the only pen I can find is a red calligraphy pen... etc, etc, etc. I finally get my resources together and find that I still can't copy Heather's work. I read the letters on the page but when I go to write them, they are all the wrong letters. I keep trying to copy the paper and get it done, but get it wrinkled and lose it several times amongst my mess in the process... never did finish. Then we are in class and I don't have my English book, I haven't read the story, and it appears that everyone else has several pages of critique on the story that they've written in front of them, and I don't have that either. I have another text book that is about equal in size and open it in front of me, but I'm secretly reading along with the guy next to me, who is somewhat in my personal space anyway.

I've been more productive in the past three hours than I am in entire *days* in this apartment sometimes... went to move my car, went to Dollar General and got some gloves for cleaning and doing the dishes (as well as some cereal, milk, granola bars and Craisins), did the dishes in the sink, cleaned out the fridge, did the dishes from that, bagged up all the garbages and took five bags to the dumpster, bagged the recyclables, and a few other small things... like putting coats in the closet and removing my shoes from under the computer, etc. I would still like to pick up a few things in the common areas and straighten up the bedroom before calling it a day and watching the Pink Floyd documentary "The Pink Floyd Story: Which One's Pink?"
Sooo, my latest mishap took place yesterday in my car on the way to work. I stopped at Hess so one of the guys riding to campus with me could run in, I was super thirsty and saw there was water bottle on his side so I grabbed it, wiped off the sport cap and got in a few good gulps before I realized it was the laundry detergent...!!! It was in a blue bottle so I never noticed the suspicious color. SO EFFING DISGUSTING. I found a little actual water in my trunk, Joel gave me some of the Red Bull he'd just purchased and Kevin gave me some gum... but the taste of salty lemon chemical perfume just would not leave my mouth, nose and throat areas. I drank a bunch of water, some milk and ate close to a sleeve of Saltines when I got to work. We'd just been discussing how it I'd gotten up so recently in the day that it was impossible to tell what kind of day it was going to be... two minutes later, I'm drinking detergent. If you're wondering why the detergent was in a water bottle, it's because the jug of it is so immense that it's just silly to carry it around. And I've found out the hard way way too many times that laundry detergent freezes. (9 saucy secrets | whisper sweet nothings)

Besides all the complaints of disease from my last post; it appears to be day one of my period... WTF?! So I'm in the shower, just breathing and bleeding and trying to go all zen about it and Phish's "Down With Disease" comes on the cd player... hahaha.
I have an upper respiratory infection... and exacerbated asthma due to said upper respiratory infection. I went to urgent care at Bassett today mainly because I couldn't stop wheezing and because I needed to know if I would be able to work the rest of the week... figuring they would definitely want a doctor's note if I was going to be out for three out of four days of the work week. It started with me and a blood pressure cuff, then had an oxygen sensor on my finger, then a nebulizer treatment, then a monitor on my chest and side and then they decided to do an EKG since my heart would not stop pounding and pulse would not go down. Even though it was pretty clear that the coughing was the main problem and I wasn't having a heart attack or anything... ended up in a gown with sticky pads on my arms, legs, abdomen, chest, sides... jeeeeez!!! They gave me another neb treatment before I was able to leave with my FIVE prescriptions... one of which was for an ointment for my fingers, which I wasn't able to get at the pharmacy because it is so expensive that apparently my insurance requires pre-authorization and proof I need it... I have a prescription, what more proof do you need? Other than that, I got the Z pack, an albuterol inhaler, prednisone (which is supposed to help my chest and my fingers but I hate taking steroids), and Robittusin with codeine... and a note to be out of work on Saturday and Sunday. Pathy was sick last week and I spent a lot of time nursing her back to health and creating a germ warfare of my own... so friends beware- if you around me, you will probably get it too. Sorry.

"While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect." (1 saucy secret | whisper sweet nothings)
I got into work yesterday and found out they cut twenty positions on campus... so some friends of mine are scrambling to find new positions in the agency- I guess they were provided with a list of what is available where and a reminder that if they don't take one of these other positions, they won't be eligible for unemployment... Unreal! Then I was looking forward to a nice evening at the house... only to find that at the last minute that I was taking someone to the TOBY KEITH concert in Albany... oh em gee, dude. But it wasn't quite as deplorable as I was anticipating since he didn't try to talk about the state of the nation or anything. He did insist on singing that song about how we'll put a boot up your ass, it's the American way... wtf? Also annoying was security dudes standing right in front of us trying to monitor some drunk people. And my shift totally ends at 11:15pm, but didn't make it out of the house until 2am; at least I know I will have to flex my hours either today or tomorrow due to the new absolutely no overtime rule... But I totally don't get how, if we are in such dire financial peril, they could give us all these sweet flexible spending debit cards with $750 established in it for all employees... It's so fucking sweet. You can use it to pay copays, get prescriptions, OTC drugs... I used it this morning to get Clear Eyes (I no longer have to pay for this shit out of pocket!!!!), vitamin c drops, cough drops, cold medicine... and I got the nice stuff just because I could. It's pretty lame that they built a Walgreens directly across from Rite Aid, and I was going to possibly not shop there.. but then I realized that I should at least compare prices because paying more is just silly... and everything I wanted was about a dollar cheaper at Walgreens... so at least I can get something slightly cheaper without making the dreaded trek to Walmart. Although I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have paid $11 for a snow/ice scraper at Walmart. Maybe I would have. I don't know. Also, before the concert, we went to Outback Steakhouse. The End.
