Having spent the last few days recuperating from surgery (crankcase overhaul, overall, was successfully, THANKS!) only to be rushed back to the doctor's office with perhaps the worst bronchial infection, ever (SURPRISE!!!) THEN having to re-recuperate, while under the influence of prednisone (i.e. synonym for CRAZY) well, the last few days HAVE been an enlightening experience.

For example, stuff I learned while under the influence of prednisone:

• The definition of ironic:  electing to go through total crankcase overhaul to aleve wicked pre-pre-menopausal symptoms (you're welcome!) and then being prescribed prednisone, which then induces hot flashes and cold sweats.

• Go figure, since my husband, Garth (not his real name) has referred to me in the past as his, "salty wench."

• To which, much to the HORROR of my children, I began singing, "Pour some Mustard on Me!" during dinner, yesterday.

• To which, Garth (not his real name) started hiding the sharp stuff.

• My husband, Garth (not his real name) would make someone a WONDERFUL wife (fuhgehtaboutit, I'm keeping him!)

• Watch those Geico commercials enough times (especially, that one up there) and they actually start looking, you know, pretty funny.

This one, however, makes me kinda sorta want to cut someone, actually!!!

I rest my case, stupid steroids.

DISCLOSURE:  This post is in NO WAY an endorsement for Geico and...NO!...I am NOT going to actually cut someone, for real.  Besides, I am NOT allowed to use sharp stuff (remember?) not until I at least finish my prescription...Thanksgiving Day.

Why...YES!...yes, we ARE hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year; why, you want to come over?

C'mon, there's ALWAYS room for one more [cough...cough] CRAZY [cough...cough] and we could REALLY, REALLY use some more mustard!

UPDATED TO ADD:  Ventured out for 1st time in almost a week without incident (YAY!) Only to trip in living room & bust up my knee cap while getting a jump start on Thanksgiving cleaning.  Don't worry, Garth (not his real name) ripped me a new one for it. #iklutz
