Got my back done again Thursday. Off work for a bit. Wicked bored. So tired of laying on my back (ha! That sounds way more dirty and fun that it really has been), so tired of Vicodin.
Bruises all over my hands and back. I told them and told them that I'm a hard stick... Tied my old record of 7 sticks to get the IV in. Swore at my Dr a LOT. ("Mother fucking mother fucker that hurts. Why would you want this for a job?? What the hell's wrong with you man?") Flirted with the cute nurse a lot... Swore more at the Dr. ("You're not cool anymore man, I don't like you." Dr starts singing "Why can't we be friends..." I say "Because you're fucking hurting me dude." He tells me the nurse will be my friend in a minute when she hooks me up with the good drugs. I reply that the nurse and I will go out for a beer after this, but he's not invited.) That office causes me the most pain of any in that hospital, but they are totally the most fun. Thus I have been back 4 times. I just can't stay away.
Drove the last 40 minutes to my house after my procedure cuz my friend sucks that much/cuz I'm that hardcore.
Lolo is driving me batshit crazy cuz she thinks "Mommy's home specifically to play with me!!!!" Her sitting on my shoulder squeaking an annoying as hell toy in my ear is not what I'm assuming my Dr had in mind when he ordered me to bedrest.
I'm fucking going out of my mind with boredom. You've probably been the recipient of many random texts or phone calls. Yeah... Those aren't stopping anytime soon. Sorry bout that.
My roomie hasn't come home yet... I think he's starting to avoid me...
Went to Texas a week or two ago for the medical thing. No love. Got drunk in Texas with some cops who were cool as fuck. Realized Texas is NOT the place to be when a sushi craving strikes. (PS, anyone else miss Sushi the Mermaid??) Had an encounter with a freakishly aggressive cougar. Like seriously aggressive. Like, dedicating overly suggestive Karaoke songs to me aggressive.
I'll be moving home to Washington in a couple months prolly, I'll let you know when I have a date for sure.

Don't you know that your purpose on the planet is to entertain the Little Weiner Girl?
What's going on with your back?
Hi Tena! I've missed you. Lolo is definitely letting me know that my one true purpose in life is to entertain her. Monster...
I have degeneritive disks or some such silliness in my lower back. In December they shot my back up with stereoids. That made the pain stop for bout 2 months. Thursday they went a step further and burned off the nerve endings. Should last 6 months to a year. Buuut, they only did the left side. So in June I have to go back and have the right side done. Fun!
What've you been up to?
Oh baby, I feel for you! Your procedure sounds terrible! I have sciatic pain in one hip and am considering acupuncture.
What have I been doing? For starters, I am the executor of my late sister-in-law's estate. Since I'm in the Chicago area and she lived in Virginia, it's a challenge dealing with stuff from a distance. The job is seemingly endless and confusing. Not to mention a huge time-suck.
Other than that, my novel is done and I've been sending it out to literary agents to see if they'll take me on as a client. So far, no takers but I will persevere.
I've been a model for 30+ years. I face constant rejection. I even expect it. I have learned that it's truly a subjective business. If I don't get a particular booking it could be because I'm too young, too old, too tall, not tall enough, or simply because I bear a resemblance to the art director's mother-n-law. No biggie. It's just my exterior that's being judged. It's not personal.
Say what you will about literary rejection letters -- even the *nice* ones -- it does feel personal. What you're being rejected for is the creation you've worked on for years and then revised like a madman. It's your heart, your soul, your baby...
I'll stop whining now.
Take care of yourself and that little devil with the squeaky toy.
get to work you bumm.... "oh my back hurts, whoa is me..."

Hey babe!
Lovely talking to you on phone the other day. Get your ass in gear and out here! The swimming pool is up and I just bought a bar, so I'm stoked for the summer!
