You might notice that I have a little widget in the upper right hand corner, which I update when I take my blood pressure medicine every morning. It’s there, because I’m HORRIBLE about remembering such things, and a few folks are kind enough to remind me if I don’t.
This post shall be the official, “Remind Shawn” post. If it’s after 8:30AM EST, and I haven’t updated that widget in the corner, please don’t hesitate to slap me around a bit in the comment section. I deserve it.
(I don’t, however, deserve the kindness of you guys reminding me — but I’m just going to be thankful, and accept it on behalf of my family. They kinda want me around for the long haul, and high blood pressure sorta negates that likelihood. Thanks again.)

I did! And I had to get out of bed to do it. I came here to tell you, tongue in cheek That it was my day off and I was looking for something to do. It is my day off but I’m trying to figure out how I will accomplish all I have planned to do today. How about you. Do you have a busy weekend planned? Could you imagine being able to say, “I’m just going to laze around today, relaxing and if I get bored just try to relax a little harder. Oh, I’m just being silly and procrastinating a little.
By the way, for some reason I looked up “silly” and it said “stupid”. Now I NEVER thought silly meant stupid. I really thought silly was a good thing. Perhaps looking it up was stupid, but SILLY is suposed to make people laugh and that is a good thing. Tell me it is. I do silly all the time on purpose, I would never to stupid on purpose!!
I love ya, MOM

I think If you gotta drink the coffee it’s best to do it with blood pressure medicine. I usually take mine with Pepsi cause I can’t kick the caffine habit, if I gotta be honest about it.

some funny stuff is going on here … but take your pill anyway it’s gettin late.
Hope your Turkey Day was good.
Hope today is good too, you are off today aren’t you. I took today off so I could put up my Christmas Tree. Last year we got it in the house, hence we warmed it up but never got it up and decorated. This year I plan to get it up TODAY.

Want:
This really isn’t the thread for the question, and the email you entered is invalid — Crossover Games is my suggestion, but drop me an email shawn[at]brainofshawn.com if you want to discuss it further.
Cheers!

‘Twas the day before Christmas
and all through the house
not a Shawn was stirring
and nor was his spouse.
The pills were all waiting
all snug in their bottle
’cause Shawn hadn’t taken one
as he knows that he ought’l
And so Vince exclaimed
ere he left to go chill
Merry Christmas my friend
now go take your pill!
