I jinxed me.
I jinxed me and a cowboy who tried to fly... after his car left the road. As in, "no seat belt..."
He was saved, of course, by a bunch of people.
It was one of those rare few times when I called a diagnosis the the radiologist disagreed with and corrected himself after we did the CT.. guy had a ruptured diaphragm. Of course, I don't diagnose stuff, just guess sometimes.
Anyway, about the jinx... when you state that something will happen that is inevitable, and then it inevitably happens, is that really a jinx? After all, it's an emergency room... it's the four slow nights that are weird, not the gory ones.
And that cowboy, he'd probably been driving drunk without his seatbelt for years and years.
Anyway, it wasn't just one guy that made the night... the ED was busy busy all night long.
Additionally,
Additionally... again... Karen has been gone to KC with Kim for their annual "Kim's Birthday Spree" and she came back yesterday, and immediately left for Wichita. Her brother is visiting their mom there... anyway, she had to take Kim's car, 'cause the brakes were making an grinding noise on the Subaru. Great... another $500 that we don't have, dammit. Or $100 if I do it myself... in the cold and probably the rain...
And property taxes are due again, dammit, and of course they've gone up again. O'wait... the taxes don't go up, the property valuation went up, that's it...
Jackasses... it's not really that hard to figger them out, is it? In public, it's "Hey, I lowered your taxes! Just Like I Said I Would!"... but behind closed doors, it's "Jack up those valuations, the jerks will never know the difference!"
And they do it year after year after year. Why the hell do I keep living here, I wonder?
Anyway, I'll bet that I can sleep today....
whereas all week long I'd gotten adequate sleep, yesterday I got maybe three hours. So naturally I get my ass kicked.
