You know you're having a lousy week when...

...the best news of the week is you have inflamed, gooey lungs.

That's the diagnosis I got from the pulmonary function test. According to the test, I'm having trouble exhaling and I'm inhaling "normally."

OTOH, it also showed I have significantly above-average lung capacity (and this should surprise who?), so I may be having not-so-obvious trouble inhaling as well.

I'm now on medication for it, and it is helping the condition. The bad news: The medication is prednisone, and I'm also dealing with its side effects.

Suffice it to say if I'm a castrating b*tch at ConChord, you'll know why.

All I know about prednisone is Carla Ulbrich's song about it. Maybe you should learn it (I say, giving unsolicited advice from a thousand or two miles away, just in case you are feeling like a castrating b*tch already).

I've already got the lyrics. It's frighteningly accurate.
