Talk about your day thread

[macphisto]

Blew off work today because I didn't like the fill-in lead's attitude. I don't need this!

I hope all the delicious Subway sandwiches were still produced in a fast and friendly manner in your absence!

[Whitey McTeeth]

If that works, that’s me.

Woke up with itchy red spots on both feet. An allergic reaction to either the antibiotic I’d been taking to treat walking pneumonia, or to something I came in contact with like poison ivy. Anyway, on a six day course of roids I go.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Watch spike closely for signs of roid rage.

She’s seemed fine and doesn’t go to daycare, but I suppose it’s possible.

Thanks, pal. In my experience, roids are magical, so should be good as gold soon enough.

Which should I do tonight

- concert with three bands I really want to see (3 blocks away)
- birthday party with friends I like (1 hour drive each way)
- other concert where I don't know anyone but a friend is playing who could use my support (25 blocks away)
- stay home and sleep because I just finished a big work project and I'm exhausted (my apartment)

walking pneumonia

I've never heard this expression. We just call it Frito flu around here.

Get well soon.

Trying to finish up cleaning out the condo Mrs Wease’s cousin was in before the move. Everything she had ever ordered and had delivered to the condo still had the shipping box here. I took well over 200 boxes to the cardboard recycling depot.

While working on all her shit today, she made a post on the InstaFacialGram of when she was a teen and her family took her to Florida and she got to swim with dolphins. She blasted them because she thinks the only reason they took her to do that is because they might have read that dolphins respond better to disabled people and they might have felt like it would be a good thing for her. Then she was all “fuck you for including me in your inspiration porn.”
