We are out-of-state, so I only have one OT today. If anyone feels like it, feel free to throw out another! This was inspired by another post last week.
What have you purchased while drunk/on pain meds/otherwise inebriated? Tell the story and share the wonder.
As background, as I do photography on the side, I do all of our Parent/Teacher Organization’s photos for my daughter’s elementary school. I don’t want payment for helping the organization that gives so many kids opportunities... so they surprised me with a $150 gift card to Amazon a couple of weeks into the summer.
I spent three weeks agonizing over what to do with the money - I wasn’t allowed to get stuff for the kids or house, it had to be for me.
Anyway. I had major surgery at the end of June, and was in the hospital overnight. They had prescribed Demerol as the pain control med (I am allergic to morphine), but was trying to be a hero and not take it much because it messed me up. After a rowdy visit from about seven people at once, I was exhausted and asked for a dose of Demerol.
I then decided to go spend all of that gift card. I purchased some shoes I had been eyeballing and a mother/daughter necklace set, as well as some odds and ends.
@Mr Janny came home to visit me over lunch the next week. I walked out to the mailbox with him as he was leaving. I found the long, thin, sticky brown box in the attachment. The return address is “My Pen15 Club” (a club I do NOT remember joining).
I opened it up, and remembered ordering the glory that was inside (and had sadly melted). A prayer candle of Canadian prime minister (and pretty boy) Justin Trudeau.
Janny was unimpressed.
