Blame the lack of cleaning and work-out on DOCTOR DOOMS!!!

My allergist, Dr. Kevin Dooms (I kid you not) has set me up with getting a series of shots to clear up my severe allergies. His VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS are to avoid chores that could irritate any of my allergies (anything to do with dust or pollen), and to avoid any major physical exertion for the entire day. "Plan on doing a lot of reading on the days you get shots" he said.

And so I did :)

"Liberal Propaganda" could rhyme with "Little Purple Panda"

I'm probably not the first to realize this, but it just struck me today that the classic Doctor Suess book "Green Eggs And Ham" is nothing more than Liberal Propaganda used to brainwash our young.

Our story concerns two characters. "Sam-I-Am" and his unnamed room mate. Sam (the Liberal) REALLY likes Green Eggs And Ham, and is willing to go to great lengths to try and convince his room mate to just *try* the Green Eggs And Ham. His Room Mate (the Conservative) does not want to try them, and the more effort Sam-I-Am expends in trying to get this guy to just try the Green Eggs And Ham, the more vehemently opposed to Green Eggs And Ham the room mate becomes. Much like the Liberals with Racial Equality, Women's Lib and Gay Marriage (amongst others), Sam-I-Am spends all his time and resources on trying to create a groundswell of public opinion that Green Eggs And Ham are totally okay. Planes, Trains, Goats, Boats... they ALL want this guy to try the Green Eggs And Ham! But the Conservative, he's still going with just the fact - Dude, those eggs and that ham are *green* That's an abomination!

Eventually, however, he finally gives in and tries the eggs. Coloreds can sit anywhere on the bus, Women can vote, Gays can get legal-married... and the final lesson of the book is "Just give up, Conservatives... we can force you to try and accept ANYTHING, so why even bother?"

Sound medical advice from Doctor Stupidideas

Been feeling icky since early this morning, but at about Noon I started feeling seriously *off*. Figured it was because of not having eaten anything other than pork rinds, but I'm at that stage in low-carb dieting where nothing *sounds good*. I wanted something SWEET, not SAVORY!

SO I made some Whipped Cream. One-half cup of heavy cream, a tsp vanilla extract, 2 packets of Splenda. WhupwhupwhupYUM.

At about half of that before I started feeling seriously nauseous. Sit-on-the-toilet-and-pray-the-room-stops-spinning nausea. A cold sweat, a headache, body hurting...

And then I threw up the weirdest mix of pork rinds and whipped cream.

Now I'm all post-puke achey,
