Conversation with my Keyboard

Keyboard: What’s up with you? You’re dragging.

V-Grrrl: I’ve got a  cold, and tomorrow I have to go to the hospital for a cardiology test.

Keyboard: Sounds serious.

V-Grrrl: Well they’re going to thread a probe down my throat and esophagus so they can get detailed images of my heart chambers from the back side. Because of my incredible bustline, they can't get a good view from the front. (Snort). They want to go inside and check for clots.

Keyboard: Ewww.

V-Grrrl: No kidding. Heart snot. Who knew? I’ve been preoccupied with sinus and bronchial snot production…

Keyboard: So tomorrow you’re going to have to swallow your snot AND a probe?! This sounds like something they’d show on the Discovery Channel on Halloween.

V-Grrrl: Oooh, an exciting episode of “V-Grrrl and Her Chambers of Secrets”

Keyboard: “Chambers of Snot” is more like it.

V-Grrrl: All right already--enough of the snotty comments.

Keyboard: I'll shut up if  you cover your mouth when you cough. Hand me a Kleenex.

I'm so sorry about the test. I hope everything goes well and that you feel much better soon.

Inanimate objects can be so sassy. Luckily they can help us process and bring a bit of levity to a situation. Hope the test goes okay and the cold vanishes. Maybe the keyboard would feel a bit more empathy if one if its keys got stuck........

Oh, V! I'm cringing at the thought, but you don't sound overly troubled by it? Good luck, grrrl. I'm thinking of you. xx

V, Good luck with the test tomorrow. Hugs and good vibes from me.

Is it me or is your keyboard's attitude a bit snotty? (Sorry, couldn't resist. Hope it made you smile).

Hope all goes well. Those doctor visits sound disconcerting enough.

Chamber of Snotcrets.

I would totally read this.

sorry about your illness. Swallowing a probe...sounds kinky...but not in a good way.
