What do I want for my birthday? World Peace!! Well, I’d settle for feeling less shitty. Body aches like the missus took a baseball bat to it again. After trying to break my fever last night, I dozed off in a pleasantly medicated state. But, I thought sleeping tablets are intended to knock your lights out for a number of hours. I wake continuously throughout the night. The kicker comes in the morning. I wake up and cough, a nice-deep-throat full-of-chewy-goodness kind of cough that then sends a shooting pain lancing across my entire upper torso. If feels a little like it might if a horse just stepped on my chest. Happy freaking birthday, sucka.
And then I doze off again to be awoken by some heavy base playing somewhere in the neighbourhood? Seriously, who kicks off the rave music at 8a.m. on a Wednesday morning, even if it is New Year’s Eve? Freaks!! Well, the missus and I are now stirring awake and the chest pains continue, nicely exacerbated by the pieces of lung I am occasionally hacking up. Ahhh well, it is my Birthday!!! And the missus and I are on a tropical island on a lovely sunny day…….oh……it ain’t sunny. In fact there is a tropical deluge occurring all morning. Grey clouds, rain, the continual thump-thump of a sound system somewhere and I feel like crap.
Happy happy birthday.
I am not going to let the fuckers get the better of me. It’s my birthday, goddammit and I know there are millions of people out there quite ready to celebrate it with me. So, I am ignoring the pain, we’re out for brunch, rain or shine, I am still going diving this afternoon and I am going to party hardy tonight….shit, on the drugs I am on, the booze may make this a whole other kind of drunk!! Honey, hold my hair back….ooops, I had it shorn off two weeks ago. Anyway…..party time.
I think I may start as soon as we hit dry land from the dives this afternoon….dry being relative of course.
If I have the hangover I am anticipating, see you all on Friday (my time that is).
Peace and love, mothertruckers, peace and love.
