Time to confess

OK, I guess I have put it off long enough ...
Guess it is time to fess up ...
Besides, in just over a week, you will find out ...
I didn't want to say anything, to spoil it ... Or ruin my luck ...
As most of you know, I am chronic ... No make that Chronic, with a capitol C!!! I get hit anywhere from 12 to 18 times a day. No preventatives seem to work anymore ... The only abortive, that works, that I am allowed to take, is pure Oxygen, and that is not but 70% of the time.
The above being said, for the past four weeks now, for no know reason (maybe just cuz I am such an ancient old fart?) the beast has backed off ... WAY off!! I am now down to 2 or 3 hits a day!
That is basically pain free for me! I can't believe how GREAT I feel! I went to replenish my oxygen supply and my vendor wanted to know where I was getting my oxygen from, because they hadn't seen me in over a month! (4 "M" tanks, and 6 "E" tanks got used up in 2 to 3 weeks, normally)
And, usually, all my hits are in the evening, or at night. It blows my mind to go ALL DAY LONG without a hit! It boggles my feeble mind at how GREAT I feel!
Now, the quantity has dropped WAY back, but the intensity, unfortunately, has not dropped off, at all. BUT, I will GLADLY take them!
Hell, 2 or 3 hits a day? That is a walk in the park!
I couldn't keep quiet about it any longer. It was KILLING me not telling all y'all!
Unfortunately, being the dumb schmuck that I am, I am now working 12 to 18 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week. I had a little incident with my heart the other day, so maybe, I SHOULD take it a little slower, but knowing me, THAT ain't gonna happen!!! LOL
Can you say "HAPPY DANCIN' ?!
Chuck, the Happy Dancin' fool ...

That is FANTASTIC news Chuck. I am so glad for you. But why are you working such long hours. It is time to slow down some, unless the long hours is keeping the beast away. If so, keep on working. See you next week bro.
Edit to add: I initially thought the same thing Blue.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

That WAS a problem. I missed a LOT of work I even went about five months, with working only one day every other week, or so. Fortunately, I am know, trusted, and needed, or I would have been let go. (It also helps that it is my former partner, and family, and I helped to start and build the business.)

What's this? You need a BRAIN in order to have clusters? Well, hell's bells!!! I NEVER should have gotten them, if THAT is the case!
With all the head MRI's and MRA's that I have had, they have all come back the same: Nothing there ...
