insomnia

I'm lying in bed, unable to sleep because of all the work that I have to get done in the next week (I can't believe I have 8 more days in the city; unreal), and so I went on planetcancer.com - an AMAZING website whose founder is Heidi Adams, a very cool woman. They have "top 10 lists", and I thought I'd post one for your enjoyment. 

Top 10 Ways to Disrupt the Waiting Room

10. Ask everyone around you to do things "stat". 

9. Offer free prostate exams.

8. Ask everyone nervously whether they have a "spare catheter".

7. Pop a tape in the VCR of you in an avocado-eating contest.

6. Supplement bland waiting room periodicals with nurse-fetish pornography. 

5. Give your best rendition of that dance floor classic: the Naked Raptor.

4. Hold up a sign that reads, "Free chemo in the parking lot."

3. Initiate spelling bee. Be unflinchingly cruel with errors.

2. Leaf through every magazine in the room, shake hands with everyone else, and then say loudly, "Jesus, this flesh-eating scabies itches like a mother."

1. Repeatedly refer to the doctor you're waiting to see as "The Trembling Butcher."
