vicodincrutch | 108 Diagnosis

Holidays are crap. You want to know why? Because they inflate you with unrealistic expectations of what a day should be. I expected to be in a turkey induced stupor, not moving more than necessary to complete my Jabba the Hutt impression. Instead, I'm eating not as heartily, walking just as infrequently and doubling my dosage because I was without vicodin for longer than necessary the day before Thanksgiving. That is what sucks. That is what makes this month crap. Screw your train. You were either alive or dead. When you're dead what do you have to worry about from there? You get back up anyways.

I'm thankful for my vicodin today. Tomorrow it better be the same. While I'm at it, I'm thankful for a newly developed case of some kind. That means my life hasn't completely descended into meaninglessness. When I'm more into celebrating, there'll be pie.

The midget as inconveniently disappeared again when we have an ample opportunity to utilize her particular talents. Great. Just when I was in the cheating to win mood.

What are we working with then? I trust that Plan A has been put into effect. I'm going to spare a guess that it's in the process of failing. Did we ever get a Plan B behind the second door? If not we'll have to play pin the tail on the treatment. Oh boy.

It's also depressing and cranky.

The season? Yes, yes it is.

No, I'm not confusing the season with a certain doctor.

If keeping realistic expectations is depressing you should never leave your bubble or take off those glasses.

I got paid to look at depressing reality. I'd like to wear these glasses as much as I can.

Go ahead. They'll permanently distort your natural vision.

But people will love my constant optimism. Try it. It won't kill you.

Sure they will, until it fails both you and them with unmet expectations.

So it's better to expect the worst in everything? Like being here isn't bad enough already?

That's not what I said. If you're the adventurous sport, have no expectations at all that way you're always surprised.

Surprises are good, but sometimes, especially here, expectations are what keeps some of us from breaking down.

Expectations of what then? Sunshine? Rainbows?

That wouldn't hurt a few people around here.

You're kidding right?

Does it sound like I am?

Unfortunately.

You were one of the people it can't hurt.

The problem with that is that I'm not an idiot and I'm not into fooling myself.

Being optimistic doesn't always mean you have to fool yourself.
