RE: What's everyone up to right now?

Okay, here's the current updates on my condition: When I woke up, it took a while to get my face washed, because the discharge in my eye had dried up, and so had the discharge in my nostrils. For what it's worth, I managed to swallow a big lump of the nasal discharge just before going to sleep last night. For the first time since the surgery, I managed to take a dump, although I think I needed to discontinue my pain meds temporarily and take three laxatives in order to pull it off. Fortunately, the pain's nowhere near as bad as it was during the weekend.

Drinking a pitcher of DIY sangria slushies. I'm a bit tipsy.
Man, I am totally baked.

Tying up some lose ends in preparation of getting the fuck out of this dysfunctional country. We were planning on doing it when I retire in sixish years but I can do my work from anywhere so we're setting things in motion after the election.

Canada or Europe?
I have seriously been considering leaving, because I simply do not want to get stuck in this country if things go seriously sideways. Unfortunately, the boyfriend won't be going with me, because he is rather naive regarding his thoughts on this being better than any other country in the world.

Neither. We can't get into Canada or most of Europe at the moment and my plan for the last 20 years has been Mexico / Latin America.

I've considered leaving, but most countries aren't any better, and that bottle cap collection in the kitchen junk drawer ain't gonna buy me much.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

My thing is - if I'm gonna live in a banana republic, I want the goddamn bananas.

I got up too early this morning. I'm going back to bed for another 60 winks.

I was trying to remember why I get into a funk every year around this time - and then I remember...duh....my first's b-day. The surprising thing here is that I have so much distance from it, now, that I had to think about it for more than a few seconds. Feeling like absolute shit, forgot why, forgot the why is a kid of mine.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Sure it's not seasonal affective disorder?
