john, i hate weekends here cuz they break out the newbie aides and i have try and make myself understood. they are trained to ask me yes or no questions but not 5 at once. my answers get out of sync i end up with a suppository instead of a cappuccino. but it has its plus side...they'll forget to thicken my coffee and i'll get a normal cup once in awhile till somebody catches me but i just point to the aide and let them take all the flack for it cuz taking some flack is good training too lol. i've learned that drinking thickened coffee through a straw gives me something to do all day. tracy, my regular weekday aide, makes me a reese's peanut butter cup cappuccino before waking me each weekday morning. i am very fortunate to have her assigned to me permanently, she's an angel in scrubs and i don't know what i'd do without her. for being on the bottom end of the pay scale she makes this place run and she's the 'go to girl' if you wanna get something done. i'd guess she's 23 or so with a 2 year old baby girl, the cutest little thing. she brought her in to meet me. i just sent for a cappuccino but i'll either get milk of magnesia or another suppository. i've learned to play the odds and, since i don't have room for yet another suppository, there's a 50/50 chance i'll get my coffee. john, i buy my cappuccino by the case and would love to send you some but, since it comes in 2-pound plastic bags, it wouldn't get across the border. next installment i'll tell you about christine, my speech therapist, wow, she's beautiful. she's 27 and got her master's in speech-language pathology 3 years ago from osu so she's 'a hankerin' to get me to 'jawin' korect'.
