I could use more of a deadline. I spent 4 hours at urgent care last night with a brutal, brutal earache that erupted out of nowhere. I had my last two cavities filled without novocaine but I was hurtin' so bad my blood pressure was up 20 points. They gave me 60mg of keterolac intramuscular.

The really stupid part is I had to get to the urgent care via taxi because my car has a flat... and I can't use the spare I have because it's the wrong size and I've been waiting for the tire store to order me the right one for six weeks. Fuckin' comedy of errors up in this bitch. And then of course the taxi app timed out and the cabbie ran my card twice so my 10 minute cab ride ended up costing $45 and took me to the urgent care that stopped taking appointments 3 1/2 hours before closing (fuck you, Minute Clinic) so I had to walk a half mile to another one.

Shit, that sounds terrible.

Seems like there are a lot of tragedies and/or comitragedies going 'round. Maybe let's say a week from Monday instead, 1/12. Any objections?

No objections, though I may post another submission. I dig these things, it's a great excuse to do something I love. Maybe I'll do a proper one for 3 since I was too overwhelmed with life when that one was going on.
