Dear offensively perky Starbucks barista,

Yes, I suppose that the next time I come in I could say "Venti Refresh" instead of "large mint tea". However, as we don't live in the Harry Potter universe, I will not.

With utter sincerity,

Me

PS. And, for the record, "Venti Refresh" is actually more syllables than "large mint tea", and is therefore not easier, despite your excessively cheerful chirping to the contrary.

Apparently I have lost 8 lbs since last Monday. Nevertheless, I cannot in good faith recommend the infected tonsil diet.

I came back from the pharmacist today with four -- count 'em, FOUR -- new prescriptions to control this whatever-the-fcuk I've got. Four new prescriptions, plus the four I've already got, means I've got more pills than Lindsay Lohan (That's right, kids! A pop culture reference from yours truly!). Now I've got to combine and recombine these chemicals in combinations that I think won't kill me. There's one I can't take with another or I risk dying in my sleep, but if I do that then I need to take another one at least four hours before I take a fourth, which needs to be taken without food, but the fifth and sixth need to be taken with food, but the sixth should be taken before I've had anything to drink...

So tonight I said fuck it and went with the old family cold remedy: Two shots of vodka on an empty stomach, and get home before the buzz kicks in.

Just coughed/wheezed/gasped so hard that I blacked out. That was... really extremely unpleasant. Wow. It's been many years since I've been choked unconscious like that.

Jesus. I did not enjoy that one bit.
