My Neurologist

Who couldn't fit me in this afternoon told me to go
to the E.R. Nuh uh, I said. I've been to the E.R.
last night. Sooooooo... she said, oh. ok. Then, how
about I call in a bottle of lortab 7.5's for you, because
I don't have time to see you this afternoon and I'm
not going to be in tomorrow. Well gee, I said. SURE!

So I'm home now. I have ELECTRICITY! WOO HOO!
And painkillers! And my son is here, and the cats are
on the bed. And Law & Order is on. Now in a perfect
world, the medication will actually WORK and then life
will be really cool. All in all though, life is good. And I'm
blessed. And lucky. And certainly a lot better off than
people in New Orleans.

We're good. And you know, its really amazing how much you appreciate the simple things, like electricity, after going even 16 or so hours without it! Makes me really really feel for those people that are without power for much longer periods due to the hurricane.

Sounds kinda nice the way you write it Syd.

I was out of power for about 48 hours a couple of weeks ago and when it came back on it seemed to make life worth living.

I know, its funny how downright spoiled we are by the simple luxuries. Electricity, clean water and the like. Not to mention the safety of my family. Watching the news has really made me grateful.
