I just realized I have posted like 2 or 3 times today. I couldn't beleive I had that much fodder in the mental department to work out. Well as I wind out my last 45 minutes of the workday, we'll through some humor your way. I deleted some #'s as I didn't agree with what they said, but most of these ring fairly true.
The Asshole Bill of Rights
As an ASSHOLE, I proclaim the following:
#1 I will live my life the way I deem fit, screw political correctness.
#2 I have the right to choose my religious path if I choose one at all.Christianity be damned.
#3 If I want to eat a cow, I will eat a cow.
#4 I have the right to hang up on telemarketers midsentence and not havetoworry about whetheror not I was polite.
#5 If I think someone's an idiot, I will tell them they're an idiot.
#6 I have the right to tell children that their parents aren't raisingthemcorrectly. (Think of howmany times you've been at a supermarket and heard a screaming child theentire time...whatexactly would you want to say that'd be any nicer?)
#7 If you don't know what you're talking about, shut the hell up
.#8 You may have the right to speak, but I don't have to listen to you
.#9 If I want to be rude, loud, and obnoxious, it's a free country.
#10 If I want to go to a bar, destroy my liver with alcohol, clog myarteries with junk , and have unsafe sex with the woman/man I just met, I ought to be able to smoke while I'm at it.
#11 I may be fat, but you're ugly, and I can go to Jenny Craig.
!#13 Denis Leary should be proclaimed God and given reign over society.
#14 Your daughter just got drunk at a party, made a slut of herself, andyou're worried about my religious beliefs?
#15 Before you tell me how to run my life, be certain that your own is squeaky clean.
#16 Just because you work at McDonald's doesn't mean you have an excusetohave an I.Q.under twelve.
#17 (Courtesy of George Carlin) Just because you're a student does notmeanthat you're anymore enlightened than someone that works at Blockbuster.
#19 If you're stupid enough to give me credit, deal with theconsequences.
#20 It's ignorant to charge someone $25 if they bounce a check for $5.(If Ididn't have the $5,what makes you think I'm going to have $25 you retards!!)
#21 If you don't like the way I drive then at the next red light get outfrom under my car.
#22 If your dog or cat is so smart, then why do you talk to it like it'sanewborn baby?
#23 If I shoot you while you're committing a crime, and you try to sue me for it, I'll shoot you again.

Am I just that sick...? Or what?
This morning, amidst the tons of paperwork, the files, the free time I have available, the truth has leapt from the mouth of the raging beast and planted itself in front of me, roaring it's ugly voice and preparing for the leap that shall drop me to my death. Yet I dare to stare down it's maw, to show not a mote of fear that I may be feeling, and to plant the seed of doubt and discord upon its back. There is now hope though, as this creature knows it has me, as it does many others, and will only tighten its fangs around the jugular, not even mercy in a quick kill.
This creature is valley fever. No, not *that* valley fever, that doctors can't explain, this is more of that " I need to get out of the valley and away from everything" type feeling. I swear it is what I need. It has been since January that I had the Mexico trip. OTL won't be until July. I need a trip out of the Phoenix area where I can spend the night somewhere and do whatever I feel is relaxing. Maybe a overnight trip to somewhere like Casa Grande and party in the bars. Hell, I don't know what I want to do except get out of town.
Too bad that is not possible at this time. I just had last week off due to illness, think they would give me another week because I said I still needed to feel better about things? Ha! That would be wonderful though ...
So since I am sitting here suffereing through another afternoon of doldrums, and dragging you down deeper into the darkness with me, what should we do? Attempt to untwine the madness tangle until we realize there is no end to it? SHOUT out to the demons that run amok in the hell hole of my abysmal mind; DARE to FLAUNT and attempt to CONTROL what no thing has been witness to, nor heard of in any time period of any living thing. To BREAK beyond the barriers of the known, and REIGN the the great unknown and decide to call myself GOD! Dammmmnnnn. Sometimes I feel so conceited.
And you thought it would be safe to read my post here today? (Laughter) Child, you must be prepare yourself for that journey, as it may be your last.

Typical morning at my house....
I woke up. What for? Did I need to cough, or go pee? It's plenty dark yet, wonder what time it is.
I sit up on the edge of the bed, let out a little yawn and rub my hands across my face. 'Pee or what?' I ask myself. Hmmm, body heard - pee it is. I get up and stumble the few steps to the restroom doorway, flick out the hand along the wall for the light and wince as the single bulb comes on. Two steps forward - complete business - shake, shake. Turn around, be sure to get the light. Pause for the eyes to adjust and glance over towards the Wife's head for the clock. A nice bright 5:25 stares redly back at me. 'Sigh'. I sit back on the bed then decide it isn't worth sleeping over. I stretch out on my side and watch my wife.
She's so soft looking there in the early morning light that barely penetrates the drapes. Evidently she was warm and has kicked her blankets off, and I reach out gently to rub her leg softly.
" -neath the light of a neon moon. Ohhhhh if youuu looosee your one and only - " Damn! I can't reach the alarm. I let it play out at 3/4 volume for a minute, then reach over and nudge the Wife. A hand rises from the shadow of where she lays and flops on the snooze button. I know she has got 10 minutes until she gets up to make sure the daughter is up and getting ready for school. Which means I can nap for about 30 more before I take her to school.
I reach out again and softly rub my hand against her thigh. "Stop it." I freeze. I move my hand down towards her knee, and rub again. "I said stop it." Uh oh.
"Why hun? I just miss being able to cuddle with you, " which is technically true. I have been on the kids the past 4 nights about being in bed on time so Momma can come to bed. As it is, she doesn't come to bed until after I am asleep.
"You ain't wanting cuddling, and I want to rest as long as I can. You can't fool me with your ulterior motives." I glare at the lump on the other side of the bed. She has not once raised her face to the sky, or moved except the arm to shut the snooze. "If you're good, maybe tonight." What? A consolation prize? I don't need no steenkin' prize!
"Sorry, but by then that will be too late. Today is the last day of that sale down the street from work. You know, the one at Benji's Boob-a-rama ...." I let the voice fade and decide it is time to just be quiet.
A muffled sound. I swore it sounded at first like the first rumblings of a lioness' roar as it would build through the throat, but as you could tell, I hadn't watched enough of them nature shows to know better. "Ha. Ha. Do and die."
I rolled over to my back. Whatever happened to one of the most primal urges that help separate homo sapien from some of the lower class mammals? Has our generation just retarded those tendencies so that they are no longer necessary? I feel like I have lost part of actual being by not being able to get that growl -from-the-gut UGH! UGH!UGH every now and then! The feel of the fist as it pounds on chest of the muscular male!! Let that Bull Ape Yell ring free from the midst of your being - (insert favorite Tarzan yell)!!!
Aye, it has been thwarted; diverted; pushed to the wayside. And all she had to do was move one arm. Sigh. If I hurry, maybe I can still get 20 more minutes sleep. Then again, there's always a chance for tonight....

What's new in the last week ...
That's a good one. I have asked myself this one nearly each day over the last week, to see what insight I can bring you from the world of pneumonia, or what funny crap can happen. I guess it just isn't me though. Besides being tired a large portion of the time, I did much of nothing. I watched several DVDs I had not watched in awhile, and finished the season of "My Name is Earl" which was stupid. I tried to read, but could only get about 20 minutes in at a time before falling asleep.
But then I think back to just that day under a week ago, when I am lying n the floor beside the bed, wheezing, trying to catch my breath, thinking this sucks, and passing out. Some good has come from this incident: I quit smoking. I was never a big smoker. Figured on the average day about 5-6 cigs a day, maybe more like a pack plus if I went out after work to the bar. Now it is zero. I tried once or twice whilst in the recuperating stages to "sneak a drag" but the burn in the lungs taught me to just say stop and get on with a healthier me. One of those good slaps life gives ya to get yer attention to get your ass in order. I sure as hell don't need a heart attack prior to the youngest boy being 5.
The Wife and FIL both worked on the roof all last week. I don't know how the Wife got the time from work, but she did. As of this morning, they are just starting the shingles. We ended up having to replace 99% of the plywood as it was all under code, and thoroughly damaged. I am hoping by tomorrow they will be done. I am waiting for the Wife to tally how much we actually "saved" by her doing it this way. I had a quote for close to $6K and 2 days. Here it has been over a week, and I don't know the $ she has spent to date.
So I have noticed that several of my friends are starting to slow down. I think it might be an age thing. I went out Saturday afternoon for a friend's Bday party (another one hitting 50, hmmm) and noticed that those people I hang around have slowed some since 5-6 years plus ago. And I was happy about that! I think I am getting that same mind set as well.
Monday morning, I am back at work. My Supervisor has caught me up to date on the 4 files I have left. I lost 3 loan officers for my team in the last week - supposedly having nothing to do with my not being there. Had to do with other office issues probably (how they were paid). So I have no wonderful month to look forward too, and no idea when they are going to hire more. I may talk to the owners about that today as well - not that I am leaving here, just to get an idea when I might have more workers.
Y'all have a good start of the week, and let's see if I can't find something good to post about later on!

Sunday Post
Enough of Easter already. I have ate. I have had the children go googledy-eyed full of sugar. The rest of the fmaily is watching a damn chick flick of all things. I am reayd to go home.
Just a quick update for those of you that are concerned about my being alive, why, yes I stil am. No, I have not updated my will recently either. I am continuing on some medications still, but am released for work starting tomorrrow. I haev a feeling I will return to an empty desk, and nothing to do. I am sure I can find some time to update how this last week has been, but you already figured it out - with no posts.
Enjoy your evening. It's good to be feeling back up to causing problems!!!

Good (Early) Morning
Early for me that is. This being sick really is not fun ... a little bit it might be. But for the most part it isn't. There are "recreational drugs" if I wanted it to be just fun.
I am feeling better just short of 24 hours from seeing the doctor. Of course, 2 shots in the hips, and 6 prescriptions over the course of 24 hours should help get the patient better. I am doing breathing treatments, steroids, antibiotics, some powdery lung medicine, and some cold fluid to help break stuff up. Course this means I get to drink an abnormal amount of juices and fluids that I normally do not partake of. I am deciding loving the mixture of Tampico (fruit punch and the orangey flavor) mixed up with 7-up for the carbonation to help rinse down the throat. Between that, and as much bed rest as I want are the only two things I got going for me.
Well, that's not true. I had a VERY interesting night last night. At first I had a difficult time getting to sleep. I think it was from all the sleeping I did earlier in the day. By 3'ish I was starting to drowse off and would wake myself up having an interview, or conversations, with - this is funny - some of you fellow blog readers. I could not remember any specific conversation except one and it ended when I asked to Dragonlady474 (of Dragon's Den) "How goes the new place?". The other one had something to do with MrsJoseGoldbloom (Padded Cell) but I don't recall any of it. I know Freddie (of Warts-n-all) was in the background of one, and several others in some of the others, but I can't remember any more specifics. Then I actually get past that part and the dreams started. I can't remember much of them but lucid colors, and trying to read a blog that I could not scroll, back page, do anything to move it, except start over and read it faster as it went. That's when I decided I should get up and get some blogging out of the way. Maybe it will help.
Well, I need to get going to start up the morning routine of breathing treatment and meds. Then a follow up to the Dr to make sure my oxygen intake is higher, or they are going to admit me to the hospital. That would suck, no computer access, can't see the kids (though they only talk to me from the doorway). And no real food. UGH! Glad I AM feeling better!!
Hope y'all stay in better health! We will be back later!

UPDATE: The roof is probably halfway completed now. The Wife and father in law are doing a good job replacing nearly all the plywood sheets (99% of them were under code) and should start the paper and shingles today. I suppose that may help keep me awake today so I will sleep better tonight. I sort of feel bad I am not up there helping, but I do not have that much energy, and I am not getting on the roof for sure! Couple more days, and hopefully roof and I both will be repaired!

ManyThings Happen in a short period
At least for myself, MANY things happened over the last 5 days.
1.Played 18 holes of golf. Didn't win, but wasn't last.
2. Played poker and came in second place with an $80 payoff.
3. Watched the Nascar race on Sunday, and in the pool I am in, won 1st place - $150 payoff.
4. Starting coughing badly.
5. Starting getting really sick.
6. Went to the doctor today to find out I have pneaumonia.
Yup. I was sick enough this morning I agreed to go to a dr to find out what was wrong. I couldn't hardl breath, was passing out... so luckily they don't have to admit me, unless I get worse. I am using the time the Wife is filling scripts to post this. I will be too drugged up for the next couple days to post much. Which is good, because all I would think I would have is the drug-induced visions I am going to be having.
Alrighty, ya heard it here first hand. We will be back for sure in a few days. Y'all be good and come back next week.
