rambles and ITS MY BIRTHDAY

kjpepperYeah I know I should be asleep, stop yelling at me. I went to bed at 10:30 thank you. and believe you me, were it not for the screaming demands of a bladder full to ANGRY I would be quite peacefully still rediscovering that Yes Virginia! I can once again sleep on my side in a real! Live! Bed! But you can't reason with overly full bladders. They do not care if you have had abdominal surgery, noooooooooooo. OW. Not a great way to wake up, ugh.
So here I am. AND TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. Rar.
I so feel a little bit like the beginning of Coming To America where someone says "Happy Birthday, Your Highness" and Akeem's all like "BIG DUMB SMILE why yes, yes, it is my birthday isn't it?" Hence my Prince auf Zamunda icon.I really have nothing lined up except out to lunchy/dinner thing of some sort with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
morlock and then some curling up in front of self righteous debate coverage and yelling at the TV later. I'm temporarily off refined sugar, so no jello cake just yet BUT I do get birthday steak! no seriously, there's gonna be steak and someone's gonna stick a candle in it for me. I'm thrilled. And that's about as it should be. I've got nothing huge to do, and it's going to be heroically annoying to actually rest and heal.
Gods, I'm bad at this whole DUDE you just had EMERGENCY ABDOMINAL SURGERY WTH SIT DOWN problem so my brain has sort of been hamsterwheeling and making idle to do lists to fill the silences, cause if they go on too long I still hear nurse call bells. (Though I must say, having easy net in reach definitely helps that!) I'm trying really really hard not to push things, but I know what I'm like, so... *shrug* I'll get over it, I know, and it does go a bit easier when I actually relax and trust that seriously you know what? it's okay, I'm gonna be fine, the human body is an amazing machine and I need to trust it more. Actually a good chunk of this whole mess could probably stem from me not trusting it at all after the blood clot earlier. Believe me, there was some brooding about working WITH my body instead of against it last night while morlock was up trying to get me calmed down and asleep and breathing like a normal person instead of Amy Winehouse or something. So... Myeh.
ANYWAY. TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. And I have decided that I would like a couple of things, if people have time today.
austingoddess: some excuse to post something with the Everybody Batdance icon.
Neth: some debauched AG picture of the gang busted doing something that would probably excite Taffy (but no rhumba pants, lol) And the hip shaking Tinkerbell icon of yours.
fin - OMG that picture! *dies* it looks so good! I didn't actually have a request for you I just remember I wanted to say that and wanted to make sure I didn't forget it.
padparadscha - post something with the lobot dance icon. masteradept just HAD to remind me that robot chicken dance sequence existed out there purely to make me happy.
Rest of you kangaroos - send me your imageboard/4chan/political macro worst. I require much laughter today.
Okay, I think that's it for my birthday decrees. ;)
This evening was good overall. It is beyond awesome to be back home, even though the place is a little bit scary in all it's life interrupted last week not being hereness, but there were cats and friends and Rock Band 2 and miso soup and getting to sleep in my own bed with my own soft yummy sheets and no hand sanitizer ever at all ever. Still trying to negotiate truce terms with the belly, cause honestly, I'm still freaked out by it, but so far I haven't seem to have awakened holding my intestines, so I'm going to try to be a little less gingery about it. Especially since Holly (my surgeon) is all like "What's wrong with you! Get in the shower! SCRUB IT!" Hmph. :)
I should probably try to head back to bed and figure out how to maneuver myself into a comfy sleeping spot again. Gods, you would not believe how messed the hell up my back is from this experience... when I'm up to it I'm gonna pay a visit to a chair massage spot, yowsa.

Date: 2008-10-07 02:04 pm (UTC)The other day I went downtown to run a few errands. I went into the local coffee shop for a snack. I was only there for about 5 minutes. When I came out, there was this cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break?' He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. His insensitivity annoyed me, so I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and then wrote out another ticket for having worn tires. So I proceeded to call him 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket when I called him a moron in blue. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I talked back to him the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, I didn't really care. I came downtown on the bus. The car that he was putting the tickets on had one of those bumper stickers that said, 'McCain in '08'. I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. The doctor tells me that it's important to my health.
