I'm Learning

So Daddy comes to town on Saturday and completely ambushes my ass. I even had the pleasure of a "back of the napkin diagram", which he's always uses to draw things since both of us are "visual" types. Anyway, this piques my interest since - even though it took me a decade to graduate college, I still did very well in chemistry and biology as long as you didn't toss math into it. That's actually true, just hard to explain.

Anyway, apparently there is a marriage of convenience between potassium and sodium that we all need in our bodies. Doc has me on something that has eliminated both from my system. When you piss greener than the grass in your yard, you gotta know something is wrong. But, I've been told I look "more rested". I'd call it more, "half dead", but the ultimate goal is in the cross-hairs. Of course, "more rested" could be because I slept for 14 straight hours yesterday and I actually didn't get up until 8:30 and that was only due to hearing Day-Day puking up bile in the bathroom. At least it wasn't cat vomit and it wasn't aimed at me. I've told him about the hamburger recall - or maybe I haven't - but something tells me that may have something to do with his diet.

Oh, and speaking of another thing that I never want to hear while I'm doing this??? "Be patient". I will find a loaded shotgun and I will consider you a clay pigeon.

But, who am I to talk about diet? I have none, but I have to take a pill that has so many warning labels on it, it scares the shit out of me. I might as well be on nuclear medicine. Daddy even said that to O.D. on this little fucking yellow pill could kill me. Guess what, Pop, there's no chance in hell I'm overdosing on this one. One of the labels says, "DO NOT LAY DOWN 30 MINUTES AFTER TAKING THIS DRUG". I found out why it says that around 5AM. Yuck. No details needed here, just think cat and Day-Day. Now the cramps will really be an issue today.

If you want to know more about how important diet is to your health, read this...

It's pretty basic and actually an interesting read if you're into cellular activity. There is a book that I read a long time ago called, "The Lives of a Cell" by Thomas Lewis. When you think of human physiology, this really will enlighten you to the understanding of how small our universe really is and how much we take for granted the little (pardon the pun) things that make us who we really are.

Speaking of chemistry, I finally leveled out the Ph in Bubba's tank. He's happier and a much more healthier, all around Beta, but I killed one of the plecos in the process. Circle of life? - or maybe survival of the fittest?

Shit, I'm getting way too philosophical in my old age.
