Today I went out to lunch with a friend. I probably shouldn't have done it, because I am really suffering now, but it is over and done. However, my sister is now very unhappy with me because i was able to go out to lunch, but that I can't go to her grandson's semi-pro football game this evening.
Now, there are two major differences in my mind. First of all, lunch is at 12 Noon, and the football game is at 6:00 p.m. By six p.m. I am already settled in for the night AND I have already taken my pain pill. The second difference is that lunch is inside and I am seated in a comfortable chair. At the game I would be outside and sitting on hard steel bleachers.
So, for the moment, I am the black sheep of the family.
