Alive, I Feel the Love

I was circling the drain - again - when the phone rang.

Auntie InExcelsisDeo: What the hell are you doing?
Tata: Your x-ray vision is singeing my eyebrows. What's going on here?
Auntie: As you know, I read your blog. What are you doing?
Tata: On the advice of my attorney, I'd like to ask: Um, huh?
Auntie: Are you depressed?
Tata: Now that you mention it, I am feeling a quart low...
Auntie: Eating a lot of sugar? Are you taking vitamins?
Tata: Almost no sugar. I've skipped the vitamins recently.
Auntie: I've been taking sublingual B-12. It helps my energy level. And you should be taking it too.
Tata: I used to get B-12 shots every week and - Oh. My. God. I'm an idiot!
Auntie: Duh!

Auntie made a shopping list and issued an order: I was going to take care of myself or else! Nobody has a spare hand and everyone gets nervous when someone says the D Word, so I went to the store and bought Calcium/Magnesium, CoQ-10 and B-12. A few days later, which is to say this morning, the sun came out. A choir sang.

Choir: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Tata: Hey, my manicure is great. My hair looks awesome. I am a hot babe! Look at my fabulous apartment! Wuzzah wuzzah wuzzah my little kittens! My friends are sooooo interesting! My toenails are electric blue! My job is better than sliced bread! What nice email people send! Carrot juice is the most luscious thing in history! Thank you, Thighmaster...

In all humility, I almost envy me.
