The art of life is the art of avoiding pain. – Thomas Jefferson
Though disgusted by my recent bout with sciatica, I’ve been really enjoying these narcotic pills I have, so good they’re addictive!
Within 5 minutes of taking my (unprescribed) medicine I feel a spreading joy radiating out from my stomach, as if my muscles were made of knotted diapers soaking up an exquisite, urine-like warmth. The feeling of ax blades chipping at nerves in my legs and hip dissolve, the pain muting into a midget mime tapping in helpless silence behind his invisible wall.
If I notice any part of my body while drugged I feel only pleasure, a total absence of pain. Compared to these painkillers marijuana’s high is too random, its euphoria waning quickly after the burning coughs.
I don’t know what I’m gonna do when the pills are all gone. 😦 Probably nothing. The sciatica is 90% gone anyway; last week the fickle demon completely left one leg for the other, where it hasn’t been nearly as bad.
I’m embarrassed to admit I figured out the cause of this recent pain. My Rockport work shoes are over a year old and look like they’ve stepped on IEDs. They provide no cushioning, unacceptable when you’re on your feet most of the day. I tried looking for new Rocks last week, where I usually buy them every 6 months. The rude assholes no longer had them. I must find new assholes to save my feet, legs and back. Anatomy.

Yeah, man, foot support is extremely necessary when you’re on your feet all day. Good shoes will always make a huge difference. If you have them out there where you live go to Ross Dress For Less. I found a pair of office style Rockports for $30, which was over 30 bucks under retail price. They’re the most comfortable shoes I own, like walking around on firm pillows. I also have other comfortable shoes for work too. I do work in an office but I’m on my feet a lot. So shoes are very important instruments in a human being’s everyday life.
