Bummer News

Wow, it's official. The world is working against me.

On a whim I decided to look at a BMI - that's Body Mass Index - calculator just to see. It had news I was completely unprepared for. I'm FAT! Not super fat, but still, honest to goodness fat! I know I have curves, but come on... I was completely unprepared for this medical assessment of myself. I am one of the 2/3 of the adult population that is FAT!?! AhHHhHhhhh!
Remember at the beginning that whole thing about needing to lose 20 lbs for vanity? Yah, well now I need to lose 5 just so I won't be be fat anymore!

On a totally different subject, I just received a very funny phone call. Have you ever had the chance to look back and see yourself for what you really were at a point in life now past? I was discussing this with my dearest friend ever, as she has been for almost two decades now, and she told me something I never knew. Back in those dark days her mother found a poem I had written, and not knowing the back story of it, made her go to therapy for it! Poor thing! They didn't believe her when she said it wasn't hers, it was mine. I guess they thought that I was an obvious scape goat. Wow, can you imagine? It's like telling the cops you didn't do it and they don't believe you, but you really didn't do it!

Nurse: "Patient has a cough and needs some cough medicine."
Lala: "How often is her cough?"
Nurse: "She's coughing right now."
Lala: "Riiiight. But that doesn't tell me how often it is."
Nurse: "What?"
Lala: "What is the frequency of her cough?"
Lulu: "Haha, don't you know by now you can't use big words!"
Nurse: "Huh?"
Lala: Friggen hell, never mind... "OK, how many times has she coughed in the last 2 hours? A lot, a few?"
Nurse: "Why?"
Lala: AHHHH

P.S. I'm not ignoring you, I'm just working on other stuff, so the writing every day is going as planned, just not always here :)
