Heroes

This is apparently our new favorite show b/c we are getting all the discs at home via Blockbuster and cannot stop watching them. Now I know what my sometime-partner meant a long time ago when we arrested this guy for drugs after finding his passed-out girlfriend in his car. The guy wanted to know how we knew he had drugs on him and my partner told him that we had special powers like the characters on Heroes. He told him that I could read minds and that he himself had X-ray vision! Ha ha! It's so much fun to mess with knuckleheads that you've just arrested.

Of course, S and I are watching these discs well before we fall asleep at around 1opm now (or as we cops like to say, 2200 hours); actually, S fell asleep even before 2200 last night. This is of course due to the fact that he started school on Monday and we are having to leave the house at the nasty ass hour of 7:15 am in order to have him downtown a few minutes before class starts at 8am. On Monday we left at 7:25am and I got him there at 7:59 am and he did not like that one bit! He likes to be places early, I like to be there Right On Time. But b/c this is love and marriage and you have to sacrifice and compromise for your spouse, I am now waking up at 6:15 am, IN THE DARK, in order to appease him. Fortunately, it's only Wednesday and my body cells appears to be too freaked out to protest much yet. I'm expecting this rude new schedule to hit me hard in a day or 2.

But S is having fun, and so I'm happy. His main instructor is, in S's words, "a badass bitch." When S told me he is a former Texas Ranger, that was all I needed to hear in order to be impressed as hell!!! No one gets to be a Texas Ranger. I don't even think I've ever met one! And yes, I looked into being one myself but you have to have like 10 years in law enforcement experience and they get about 200 applicants for each handful of openings!!! Lord have mercy, what a pipe dream though. But back to S: he is in a class of about 32 people and he says there's a lot of ex-military in there and also that all the girls are chubby. Of course, they will not graduate all 32 folks. I have already dug out all my old class notes and tests and stuff and with my help and his natural smarts, he should have no problems with any of his weekly tests. Maybe he won't graduate valedictorian like I DID, but he'll do fine!

I saw the Dr. yesterday and he decided not to cut; thank God! I would also like to avoid surgery if at all possible. He did however inject the offending growth/cyst thing, which is actually just a mass of inflamed tissue located above my eye below the eyebrow near the bridge of the nose, with a steroid and I am not gonna lie, it hurt like a son of a bitch! Not really the needle, but the poison going in which he had to inject for about 5 seconds. I wimped out and yelped "Ow! Ow!" He also gave me a prescrip for an antibiotic but I hate taking antibiotics and have not yet filled the prescrip. I'm waiting to see if the inflammation goes down first and today that does seem to be the case.

I suppose that's all the news that's fit to print. In my spare time I am trying to work as many hours as I can at Job #2 and will be there 4 days this week. 10pm comes too quickly now.
