i know i should not have gotten out of bed i was feeling depressed and i wanted to wallow in my own self pity
i got a call from my friend of ten years veronica
she says to me get up we are going to have a girls day out
i whine and say nooo i am feeling sorry for myself and i want to stay in bed
she says i know and that is why we are going out u r so entertaining on ur bad days hehhehe
she giggles i say no again and she says shut up and get dressed i say okkayya damnit
so i go to the shower turn on the hot water and no damn hot water i am out of propane goddamnit
i shower anyway and call the propane guys i will leave a check under the thingie for them
i start to get ready i put on my forty five dollar victorias secret bra on hey if i am depressed i ought to do it in style i start to look for the underwear to match i hate when my underwear dont match my bra
well no matching damn underwear
ok so i put on my jeans and sweater good no problem i put on my boots on hey no bad shit maybe i was over reacting
i bring out the holy grail
the holy grail is a very expensive purse i only use on special occations and i was depressed i a gonna use it i exchange stuff to the holy grail i think i have everything
veronica picks me up and we head off to the city which is an hour and some minutes away no problem good
we get to the resturant and i order grilled shrimp and french fries
i have been on a diet and i havent had a fri in months i was depressed and i wanted the damn calories i wanted comfort food
guess what i got my grilled shrimp but it was on a bed of white rice i HATE white rice
i turned to veronica and with tears almost bursting from my eyes
i exclaim i hate white rice dont they know i am a depressed woman i need my comfort food i want french fries and damnit my underwear dont match my bra
god what else
o GREAT the couple next to us heard and laughed the old fart said hey u can have my fries heheehehe
oooooooo i looked at veronica and rolled my eyes she was trying real hard not to laugh
we finished eating and there is this ritual that i do i brush my teeth after each meal
so i go to pee and brush my teeth
i open the holy grail and find the toothpaste but no toothbrush wel fuck me
i use my finger to brush my teeth
i start for the table and i notice people looking at me i say to myself maybe i look ok i get to the table and notice veronica bursting with laughter pointing down at my boots i look down and there was a long piece of toilet paper streaming from the back of my shoe oooowhaaa i am getting outa here i say u pay and dont leave a tip either
we r at the movie now and i order popcorn a SMALL and a large coke
the kid gives me a large popcorn and a large coke
that did it i lost it
i say to the kid
why did u give me a large popcorn i ordered a small is it because i am fat that lady wearing a hearing aid heard me and she is deaf
the kid says hey lady im sorry god i will fix it
ok we watch the movie it was good but i cryed over stupid shit we get ready to go and the holy grail is caught on the arm of the chair i dont know how the damn thing got stuck i pulled on it tried to move it around to loosen it then finally i get free and fall into veronica hard almost knocking her down i look at the holy grail to see if she is ok and i well up this is it the holy grail was torn up the handle is broken it is a big mess
I WANT TO GO HOME NOW i cry veronica petting me dont worry it will be ok i will try to fix it
on the way home we stop to get a tea from sonic i order unsweet tea lots of ice and no sugar to make it clear
u got it i was lucky i tasted it before we left because with a day like i was having
i got sweet tea
i hate sweet tea what else is gonna go wrong damn
we get all going right i get unsweet tea and cry all the way home
veronica says to me u r always an adventure and i laugh cry because i think it is a complement
i get home no problem hug veronica and thank her for loving me no matter what i get in the house get into bed and cry until i go to sleep
there is a patient where i work he brought great joy to our hearts he has passed on i was very sad because i fell in love with his energy he was so damn funny and great to talk to
when someone would ask him how was he doing today he would say really loud ALRIGHT GODDAMN IT WHAT THE HELL DO U WANT and when he would get out of his wheelchair u would now friend why are u getting up u r unsteady on ur feet and u might fall he would yell BECAUSE I WANT TO GODDAMN IT and if it was me or another woman he would end it with a WOMAN or MAMA and my favorite was he would always say O MISERY when we would make him do something he did not want to
this guy was great he was a hero i dont know what they call it but he would ride on the helicopters behind the guns and keep it clear so that the medics could get the wounded to the pickup spot or to cover other soldiers he truely was a work of art he loved his wife of sixty four years and his family they loved him
i am proud that i was blessed with nursing him and when u would tell him that u loved him he would say WELL THATS ALLRIGHT MAMA bud i will miss u terribly glad u went home safe journey love
