when will we learn....
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same
Katie and I had a conversation tonight about expectations and disappointment. I give people the benefit of the doubt that they hang out with me cuz they want to, not just cuz I'm there or to pass the time til something better comes along. And while most people aren't like that, there has always gotta be the few who we expect certain things from, and they disappoint us. I do try and go with the flow, but like all of us, I don't like being second best. Especially if I used to be first.
Death was all around me this week. The ICU is no place to be. Wear a helmet. Wear a seatbelt. Don't douse yourself with oil and then light a match. If you want to kill yourself, try 2 different things so you make sure it works. Blood sugar levels topping 300 for years are gonna give you gangrene. Name calling of people who are bigger and stronger than you cuz you're drunk might get you pummeled with a baseball bat, which is gonna fucking hurt and might give you brain damage. Drinking a liter of vodka while driving an ATV is not smart. Falling asleep while you're driving....ok, off my soapbox...
Quote of yesterday: "Other people's stupidity is our job security." ---Wendy, the ICU nurse. Well stated.
Michaela informed me yesterday she's writing a report on the state of Missouri. Here's my report:
State capital: Jefferson City
State motto: State of misery
Population: 5.6 million
Known for: just a humid flyover state...don't waste your time
Highest point: Taum Sauk Mountain (they call 1772 feet a mountain?)
Lowest point: see paragraph 1
And that's the way it's done...
