Walking (Pneumonia) Blues



Went back to the doctor yesterday...  That's the third time in less than a month.

Oh Lawd... I went back to the doctor yesterday...  That's the third time in less than a month.

Had to get a a shot in the butt...

...but at least I got some good drugs.


(guitar solo)

The doctor gave me some new drugs...  Maybe they work better this time.

Girl, I tell you, the doctor gave me some new drugs...  Maybe they work better this time.

He gave me the TussiCaps...

A TussiCap is an anti-cough medication with vicodin in convenient capsule form.  Ask your health care provider if TussiCaps Extended Release Capsules may interact with other medicines that you take.

Whoo doggie.

Fishwives Are Chatty...

"Can I get a pound of the raw shrimp?"

"Sure thing. Good deal on those today."

"I know. I was going to buy the pre-cooked ones, but I can't say 'no' to $5.99 a pound."

"Right. So what are you going to do with them? If you don't mind me asking..."

"I'm thinking stir fried rice."

"Oh, that sounds good. I'm a bit of a foodie myself."

"Yeah, that's why I'm here."

"Make sure you cook them all the way through."

"OK. Thanks."

"You got a good pairing knife?"

"Definitely."

"Soak 'em good, then cut out the veins and shells."

"OK."

"And save the shells for stock. It'll be more sweet than fishy."

"I'm probably not going to do that."

"You should."

"OK, I'll think about it. Anything else?"

"No, I think that's it. You cooking them tonight?"

"Yes."

"Good. What time?"

"Probably not until 8 or so."

"OK. Don't let them sit any longer than that."

"Got it. Thanks again... I gotta get back to work."


Then she showed up at my house that night to make sure I was cooking them the right way. Really.
