... your sunday sillies ...
OK.
So, if it's not bad enough that those of us with O.C.D. check our alarm clocks non-stop, what happens when that damn thing doesn't work?!?!?!
Well, then, we with O.C.D. are going to be EVEN MORE frantic about checking the time throughout the night.
I had mine set. All ready to go.
My new Samsung Galaxy actually tells you, every time you save or make a change, that the time is set for 'X' amount of hours and minutes from now.
Great for someone with O.C.D. Unless that fucking thing doesn't go off.
OR!
It's possible the alarm isn't loud enough to wake me up. That may be the case as well. I might download something REALLY obnoxious to wake me up.
Never-the-less, as per my usual checking of the time all night long, I looked at my clock, only to realize I was supposed to be out for The Garage Band kids 5 MINUTES PREVIOUS!!!!!!
Seriously. I woke up 5 minutes after 8. I was supposed to be up at 7 to prepare for the niños!
I limped out as fast as I could, because when I woke up in the morning, my damn ankle had ballooned again.
I suppose I did something to it the night before when I went to the birthday party in the village for the Housemaid.
You see, I brought the birthday girl some red wine, and of course, I indulged, as it seemed myself and the birthday girl were the only ones they were pouring it for, and everyone else drank beer.
I wasn't out to get snapped, as I had to get up to teach the next day, and besides, the object of the game isn't about getting corked anymore.
It's just for pleasure of some relaxation.
No pain. As in, no fucking hangovers!
Surely, I wouldn't want to have a Buffalo Breath while singing for the kids.
Nor would I like to have a llama shitting in my mouth the night before teaching, as I wouldn't have the time to shave my tongue before class.
Alas, the wine I brought ran out.
People just kept sending children off to buy more beer, and I just stuck to sipping my wee glass of red wine, giggling at the drunken antics of others.
Then someone showed up with a bottle I'd never seen before: Dominican wine.
"Try some!" they said. So I did. I thought they tricked me into drinking some kind of whiskey.
I had to ask them a few times, "True? This is wine?" They explained that it is made from apples. Who knew apples could be so evil!
I just kept saying, "This is strong!" as they laughed at the lightweight gringa. I didn't need to tell them who I used to be in a former drinking stage of my life.
I only needed the one glass, even though Mr. Gummy kept prodding me to drink more to match his own level of alcoholism.
They kept asking, "But who will drink all this?!?!"
I'm sure you did fine without me, folks.
Off I went to my house, and as the wine wore off, with the help of time and a lot of water, that damn ankle began its wailing of disdain of my treatment toward it.
I guess I walked around too much, not realizing it, because I had that magic elixir that took away all pain, allowing me to walk MORE!
I thought little sleep would take care of that! I'm in the land of healing, no?!?!
I guess it doesn't count when you've done something 'new' to yourself.
So, I lied in bed all day yesterday, trying to get the swelling down with my legs up, doing my best to ignore my throbbing toes. It is bloody angry.
I listened to dogs fart and snore all day, and I suppose that's my lot again as I rest it today.
I have the feeling I did something a little ominous to my dear wee ankle. Oh, how I wish I had pain meds.
Come home Papi!!
9 sleeps left.
Oh, how I need you, but how I miss you even more than that.
OK.
