Since discovering I have diabetes, I have noticed the paperwork is starting to pile up. Spreadsheets and handwritten scribbly notes indicating my blood glucose readings, prescription instructions detailing the how and the why of my various medications and procedures, calorie count data referencing each food or beverage I ingest, and the sum total of those ever important carbohydrates and fats and proteins, receipts and rebate slips for expenditure tracking…
It’s going to require a filing system, and perhaps a Secretary, which is difficult, as I am already employing a Nurse, who also works as my Scribe, and spends a good amount of time working as my Shrink.
She excels as a Personal Assistant, but I think she’d be insulted if I were to ever say that out loud. She is a remarkably capable Sous Chef, and a pretty hawt Courtesan. When my eyes get too blurry, she doubles as a competent Chauffeur, mind that car on the left, would you?
She has skills in so many job sets – Bouncer, Doorwoman, Station Manager, Veterinarian, Agricultural Botanist, Lawyer, Lab Technician, Author, Graphic Artist, Personal Shopper, Day Care Operator, Teacher, Animal Husbandry Expert, Marine Biologist, Mediator, and Masseuse (or is it Masseur? I never remember… She is the one that isn’t a seven foot blond dude named Hampus).
Above it all, she is an amazing Wife, and Mother to our child(ren, in case we have more and they go back and read this. Kids, if you are reading this, stop doing whatever it is that you are doing that annoys your father.)
I am so happy she is mine. I have no idea how I would have gotten through these last two weeks without her, and I am thankful none of us had to find out.
Thank you, Jen.Happy Anniversary to you, I hope for many years to come. I could win the lottery once a week and not have enough to recompense you for all that you do, for me and our family.
But if I DID employ you, I would never pick a shitty, murderous insurance plan like United Healthcare. Seriously… What the fuck is wrong with those people? Is the organization run by a ghoul, lusting for dead human flesh?
