throat (& you)

I now have a real throat problem going on. Hey there, how are you? Sorry again for the delay. Suck on it. If you're that into what I have to write, then you just might be the next best thing to be Ailing The Ry-ry. You wouldn't like me when I'm ailing.

I just spoke to someone who says her throat has some kinda of problem where her tongue swells up and takes over the mouth, making it nearly impossible to breathe. I'm pretty sure I've got that. But do not forget there is always another pain around the corner. For example, last night I had a hard time getting to sleep. I theorize that I went to bed too early, and even though it was 1230 when I did jump into the sheets, it was too early. And then today I've just been a little tired. Can you believe it? I've been getting through the entire day without a full 7 hours of sleep! I'm a man. And those of you actually know what's up with me - Mom - will try to tell me "Oh wait until that baby gets here. Then you'll know what it's like to have no sleep" Well let me tell you a little something about the ol' Ry-ry's sleeping pattern. I fall asleep and I'm dead to the world. Getting there can be an issue sometimes, but once I'm in the zone, a nuclear bomb could go off next to me, and I would pretty much unawares - I might do that funny thing where I sort of shrug a little and maybe scratching my nose a little bit. Out like a light. Gone like a gazelle. Sleeping like a slupee machine that's broken again because those damned kids keep trying to stick their heads under the spigot.

So I'm not worried about the little stinker cooming around and keeping my up. I'm terriefied.
