To borrow a quote from another blogger, I’m feeling worse than hammered shit.
I have gout in my right wrist and thumb (which makes typing extremely painful and holding a pen damn near impossible), I’m catching some sort of cold (most likely the precursor to H1N1), and Lola’s hip has gone out, necessitating that I spend at least 2-3 hours after work at her place (doing dishes, laundry, making dinner, etc.). Add to that already full plate the fact that I start my part-time job with The Fella tonight and you’ve got one very tired faggot.
And how’s your week…?
Well, I’ve been missing my Mom like crazy lately (oncoming holidays, I assume), and we’re a little stressed financially. But hubby put it all in perspective last night just by making me laugh.
I hope you find laughter, Dirk. I have a friend who has gout, and I can tell it’s really painful.

Take care of yourself. I’ve had some friends end up in the hospital with H1N1 because they didn’t take the time to rest when they first got sick.

I don’t understand why you’re doing this. My assumption is that ppl generally take 2nd jobs because of financial pressures or extra time on their hands. You seemed to have none of the above. You have Lola and “the fella” and Tucker to keep you occupied.
I guess my prissy side is coming out, but I’d be wondering who’s going to do the laundry, clean the apartment, make something to eat, clean up the dishes etc. while you’re working? And I haven’t even mentioned surf internet porn.
Dirk says: …The Fella and I are working the extra jobs because in this unstable economy you just never know when you’ll need the extra cash flow. Since we are working the same shifts on the same nights, we’re kind of spending time together but not really since it is the job requires intense concentration and is conducted in an extremely quiet environment. I do the household chores when I get off work and then fall into bed by 1am or so. As for surfing internet porn, I can honestly say I have never done that.

I hear legit, organic, sugarfree grape and apple juice helps with the gout. At least it does for my Gran. Feel better.

The best natural relief for the gout is unsweetened cherry juice available at Krogers. It contains a chemical that helps to dissolve the tiny crystals that cause joint pain. Look in the health food section.
I’m glad you are doing two jobs because soon you’ll be paying for my health care. The government needs the extra income taxes too.
