I had to start prednisone yesterday for my asthma\/bronchitis\/surely-fatal-lung-affliction. Between the ragey, ravenous effects of the prednisone, the shakes from the nebulizer, the little cough medicine that couldn\u2019t (but could give me stabbing stomach pains), Lincoln\u2019s eternal sleep strike, and my general emotional instability, here\u2019s how my 29th birthday went:<\/p>\n

At 2 am when Lincoln decided it was play time, I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and the Ogre was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then when the minions ran in at 6:30 and were like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I stumbled into the kitchen and was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ogre was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then the Ogre was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I woke up the Ogre was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

then I got out my birthday cookies and I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and the Ogre was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

then he was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and when he came back with flowers and chocolate, I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

but<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and I was like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So then he got me a glass of wine and fixed the computer so it works and now I\u2019m like<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and the Ogre\u2019s like<\/p>\n
