morbid thoughts

I have developed this nasty habit of eating lunch on the couch so that I could surf the net and watch TV at the same time.  I know.  Horrible, horrible.  But it saves me time (I say in a whining voice)…multitasking is the way to go these days. 

So there I was this morning sitting on my couch, feeling proud of myself.  I had managed to get a full 8 hours' sleep, wake up early enough and do 4 laps.  I was having lunch while watching TV while waiting for some stuff I was downloading when suddenly my throat tightens.  It  was deja vu as I recalled in a flash the dream I had last night.  I had dreamt that I was choking on a piece of meat.  Of course in my dream, I just pulled it out of my throat effortlessly…but that's another story.

I was choking and I was alone.  I was gonna die alone.  And no one will probably notice I was even dead.  Unless of course my sister decides to come home for the weekend…which had like a 50-50 chance of happening.  Or my other sister suddenly decides to give me a ring (she always calls at the most inopportune times) but then she probably won't think the worse since I always miss her calls.  At the very least it'd be 4 hours before my boyfriend realizes something was wrong when I don't show up for work.  And that would be such an embarrassment when they finally find me…maybe if I'm lucky, about 6 hours or so later?  Because I'd be all bug-eyed and purple (this is probably one of those times that I won't like the color).  EWH.   

I really should stop gorging on nachos before I go to bed.

Anyway, a piece of meat (now how eerie is that??) had lodged itself in my throat and seemed to like it there.  It took me a minute or two (believe me, that momen felt like eternity) before I managed to dislodge it by thumping hard on my chest.  I seriously don't know if that helps but it seemed to do the trick.  After that I was almost afraid to continue eating.  But of course, it was lunch and I was hungry.  Need I say more?
