Fun Things To Do With A Semi-Conscious Ass
Enjoli, Mistress of White Trash Hell
I am now divorced, but for the last two years of my marriage I had a spouse who was slowly declining into a deep addiction to several drugs and alcohol. All of this was under the premise of a severe back injury from a car accident and wear and tear from jumping from planes in Basic Training for the Army.
This was all a cover for the many "Illegal" substances that he "enhanced" his prescription meds with. This was all mostly put on because he now has no issue getting freaky with 20-somethings and playing like he is a teen… AMAZING RECOVERY.
Anyway, while he was in his semi-conscious state I had a repeteroire that I stuck to to help me get through.. He would nod from conscious to unconscious for days at a time. He always "waited" for me to get home Friday night before he took the "strong medicine the Dr. gave me.” That way, I could watch the kids while he was high all weekend. NICE
1. Grape "basketball". I used to "share" grapes w/ my darling ex. As he was nodding from conscious to unconscious I would eat a grape and throw one at his mouth to see if I could "make a basket.” This would entertain me for at least an hour each time I played. I'm pretty competitive so I would have to improve my "score" each time I played. A few times he "woke" up, found grapes all over him and would eat a few and then nod off again. He never noticed I was even there.
2. Toddler musical. I would encourage our kids to "play" songs for Daddy with their drums, harmonica, etc. The louder, the better. It is so hard to enjoy a good high with really loud kids around.
3. Princess Daddy. I would let the 6-year-old style Daddy's hair and put makeup on him. He would never wake up completely -- he seemed to enjoy the hairbrushing. He was a 6'4" Barbie Styling Head, and he didn't even know it. Once we did a really nice hair style with lots of butterfly clips and lip gloss. I think I lost the pics in the divorce, but somewhere, they are somewhere. I will find them.
4. Dog Fart Receptor. Our late dog Jake had a sensitive stomach. Sometimes the kids would give him spicy food, and he had the WORST dog farts ever. He was well-trained and would stay if I told him to for hours on end. If he had particualry bad gas, I would invite him into ex's lap for a nice long farting session. There is nothing funnier than watching the semi-conscious, former love of my life wrinkle his nose, gag, but not be able to push the 70+lb dog off of him due to his extremely high/drugged state.
I've confessed these to my psychologist and I'm not proud, but I still laugh until I cry when I talk about it. My psychologist says that I need to still work on my "threshold" for normal....whatever that is.
