Hot Toddy Man
Reading Ken Calhoun's Nightblooming and loving it. It confirms several of my thoughts, most importantly consider this stuff about gin and tonics...
from Nightblooming - Would you ladies like to try a fine gin and tonic? When they seem to hesitate, Clyde reminds them that the gin and tonic was invented as a health drink. Everything about it is designed to keep you alive. British troops in India came up with it, he explains. The tonic water has quinine, which cures malaria. Add gin for its cleansing quality and a lime to fight scurvy and you have yourself a good glass of medicine.
Best fucking summer drink hands down and that's it...of course after November I am a hot toddy man.
Sorry Bob Atlantis fans.
Anyhoo, this hot toddy man is going to have to sachet his way back to work on Monday. My diminished lung capacity seems to have...uh, diminished. And while I am not all that important at work, there is a lot of fucking shit on my desk and I can only imagine more piling up in my absence.
Seriously, I might only work 1/2 a day tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Getting those X-rays put a little fear in me. If the doc took my wheezing seriously enough to take pictures beneath my man boobs, I need to be serious about getting better...or at least that is my reasoning here.
As I said the other day, maybe I am just a fucking pussy.
- or a hot toddy man who just wants to feel good.
- or maybe I'm an idiot.
