Tomorrow I get to finish inprocessing and go back to medical. I will demand more free benedryl and hope that it helps. If anyone has any suggestions on how to heal myself, that would be great... as I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open, trying to breathe, literally catching flies. I forgot to mention that my crooked hooch has a crooked door with about 2 free inches that any number of things can crawl through. Isn't that some sort of nursery rhyme? I think I mixing up the old lady and the shoe and something about a crooked lane...sorry mother goose...
My nursery rhyme would go something like this...
There was a lieutenant that lived in a hooch,
She had so many termites, she didn't know what to do,
So she sprayed some ant-killer all around the door,
But she forgot to close her mouth while spraying now her lungs are sore....
I could go on and on, but that would just be to darn depressing. I have decided to try to stay positive and make the best of my situation. So I play hopscotch around all the piles of poop on the sidewalk :)
Now, about the cats...
B&L, I'm sorry for what I'm about to say, as I know you both like cats, but those darn things are EVERYWHERE! You know its serious when they get mentioned in all the briefings from medical. "DO NOT FEED THE CATS! THEY HAVE DISEASES, FLEAS, etc! I believe the slide actually said, "NO PUNTING THE CATS!" Curious sign, so I thought, until I was chased to and from the bathroom by one particularly angry kitty. I haven't had nightmares about pet cemetary in years, but I'm sure those will come back to haunt me after all is said and done. The doc actually thinks that these cats are what caused my terrible rash because they run in all the buildings and, I believe, they are trying to irradicate humans from the base. Cats may even be responsible for the coup down here...I'd believe it.
Jane...out
Sounds like you are having quite a time down there!! I think you should spend your 6 months writing deployment based nursery rhymes, you have a gift :) You think there is a market for that anywhere?? I would buy it!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!! And watch out for those Kittys!!

I concur with Kat! I would totally read your book to Aidan :)
ReplyDeleteHowever, you may wanna ask for an epi-pen if you are having respitory issues due to an allergic reaction...
And L&B dont love cats... B does and he is allergic to them and L just adopted one because it had an abusive home.. You notice that our 2 have not been replaced :)
Well, I hope you feel better soon. We will keep you in our thoughts. I have a story for ya whenever you have time to chat (just remind me it is from when I dropped off your last rent check yesterday)
Get a walking stick to beat off the beasts and maybe a piece of wood to seal your door?!
We miss you!
L, A and B
