I found this on a favorite website of mine; But You Don't Look Sick
Please read the the story with this link.
If not the post then do read (or sing) the song at the end!
I also possess the gift of writing new words to old music as my family and previous co-workers know.
I bow to Stephanie here. This is awesome!
Sick Humor: A Spoonie Anthem
The rain has finally brought me down. Yesterday Rob and I lucked out and caught sunshine and were able to do our laps outside. With all the kids back in school we had the pool to ourselves. But I was drained and not able to do my usual laps.
Today I wasn't able to catch the brief moments of sunshine. When there was I was busy talking online, on phone and in person. I was popular today! When things finally settled down, I was more than ready for my afternoon nap.
That was not to be.
I was doing a small bit of picking up. I picked up newly bought band-aids, plain, as Rand hates wearing Hello Kitty band-aids to work. I open the closet door, reach in to put them away, and a drop of water hit my hand. I look up to see the ceiling panel bulging down, water dripping from it.
Our AC pipes run through there. This is a huge closet that is as long as our hall. It is our linen closet as well as holds over flow from the kitchen in the way of rarely used items.
I put in a quick call to maintenance and start unloading the shelves as quickly as I can. To some luck I keep the towels I use only on Suzy and Camper right underneath. Also my cleaning rags are there. I grab them and all are soaked through and dripping. I also move surrounding kitchen small appliances to make the needed room for service. I cannot remove a few large pieces of Tupperware. They are stuck and quite possible the only thing keeping that ceiling tile up!
The next shelf has only solid items and water stained this shelf quite deeply, but my stuff stayed mostly dry. I still move the most vulnerable should a rush of water come down.
The third shelf is all beach towels. An entire stack of four is soaked through.
The next shelf is blankets, but luckily, the beach towels had just started to drip and only the edge of the shelf is wet.
After maintenance gets the problem under control, they are leaving everything open to watch. Meaning: I couldn't put anything away. Probably for the best as emptying the closet did me in. I set my alarm to wake for Big Brother and finally got my nap in.
