Our friend Theresa came and had supper with us last night since Rob is out of town. She brought over some pear cider, which is a hard cider, like apple. She also brought over some Almond Joy candy bars, which was good, because both of us feel like a nut almost all the time around here.

Anyway, the pear cider was really good, and I was about half way through it when she said, "Can you have alchohol with your medication?"

.....

"I dunno" I shrugged. Actually, that's not true. I do know, from reading all the patient inserts and what-not, that it is okay to have a little to drink such as that bottle of cider or a glass of wine, but going on a bender would be a poor idea. Not that I really have ever been on a bender. In fact, I can count on one hand the total number of times I've been drunk.

"But, hey, look, it's helping the trembling in my hands." I said. And it was true.

"That's good." The Hub said, "And you're holding on to your spoon okay, too." he went on approvingly.

Fabulous. I've been reduced to someone for whom not throwing her silverware in front of a dinner guest is considered an accomplishment.

"Maybe I should just drink this stuff all the time." I said.

Tastes better than my other medication. And besides, I knew a number of people, years ago who could only function when they were drunk.

Might make it easier to get these resumes out. Who knows what they'd look like - but they'd be out!
