Everybody hurts

February 22nd, 2006

I’m having an arthritis flare-up right now — that means five, sheesh, maybe six days of increased joint and muscle inflammation that’s knocking me out — so I’m not really in the mood to write, converse, exchange emails, etc., etc. Basically, I’m NOT myself.

I apologize for this disruption in our regularly scheduled blog, but I feel like stir-fried sh*t. Every muscle in my 5′ 10″ is achy, swollen, and in a slow throb. (No, that’s not a good thing!) Consequently, this little slice of heaven I call IXH (idiotexhusband.com) is going have to wait.

As I right this, I’m under the influence of 800mg of Ibuprofren, 350mg of Soma, and three — oopsie, now it’s four — glasses of wine. Oh yes, I also watched the Bill Murray/Harold Ramis (gawd, was he an underrated hottie or has the inflammation spread to my brain?) classic, “Stripes,” to cheer me up. It TOTALLY worked its magic on me!

Though I can still feel the stinging everywhere that marks my arthritis inflammation, I don’t really care ‘cuz I have a major buzz and I’m playing my favorite songs on Rhapsody. (No, I don’t have an affiliate account yet, so I’m not being paid for this, dammit). Oh, yes, Babyface’s jam, “There She Goes,” and the cheap-ass Rosemount Estate 2004 Shiraz Cabernaet are cheering me up immensely, so I’m good for now. (Next is, “More Than a Woman,” from Aaliyah, then, “Lovely Day,” by Bill Withers, and, “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” by Bill Withers…Yes, totally conducive to vegging/passing out.)

Even if my doctor fits me into her schedule this week, and I get prescriptions for some kick-tuchus meds, I have several days before this crap clears up. We’re talking almost a week before I’m back to normal…Holy crap!

So until then, I will throw you a bone I’ve never thrown before and include a self-portrait, so you won’t miss me over the next several days. Enjoy!

Yours truly,
Flo
