I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Outcome: 8hrs of crappy sleep due to coughing and potty-ing.  Last night, after work, because of excessive coughing and drawing in of air, I started hiccupping.  Hiccups scare the shit out of me because one I hade hiccups for a WEEK and couldn’t sake them on my own.  There were times I had TWELEVE hiccups in succession.  I had my brother take me to the emergency to get rid of them.  Now, ANY SIGN of hiccups and I head for the water.  Excessive water = excessive potty-ing.

This clean up at work wasn’t as bad as yesterday.  At least this time I was cleaning something directly related to the bag-press.  I have no idea what it does, but maintenance lined me out on it and what to do.  It was a sizeable piece from the bag press.  It was probably 2ft wide and 8ft long.  I had to clean off the glue to get it ready to go back into the press and make sure everything was smooth.  One done, another started,

2am nighty night.  WTF?  HICCUPS!  Oh, JsFnChst NO!  I tried several things to get rid of them:
1. Excessive water, MORE THAN ONCE!
2. Holding my breath, MORE THAN ONCE!
3. Sugar, MORE THAN ONCE!
4. Rubbed my neck
5. Squeezed palm.
6. Pressed diaphragm
7. Breathed into a paper bag, but that’s fucking gross.
8. Used the Valsalva maneuver.
9. Compressed my chest.
What finally did the trick?
10. Drinking water from the opposite side of the cup.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Frijastag) Heil to you, Forsizo, son of Paltar and Nanda!  You’re the god of justice, and reconciliation.  You sit in judgment of the right and wrong of all arguments.  We see you as god of the Thing.  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
