First off, thank you. Thanks for the amazing support you continue to give me and others here on this blog.
I’m feeling much better and the depression cleared away just in time for several doctors to encourage me to be tested for multiple sclerosis, which would be my third autoimmune disease and thus would complete my trifecta of your-body-wants-you-dead disorders. Apparently though there isn’t a cure for it so I plan on just ignoring it and assuming I already have it, much like the polio, mumps and testicular cancer that Web MD assures me I have. In other words, nothing more to worry about than usual. Plus, MS apparently causes brain disturbances (which explains a lot) so whenever Victor accuses me of zoning out and not listening to him I just say “I HAVE MS, YOU ASSHOLE” and then I win whatever we were talking about. Or possibly Victor angrily reminds me that I probably have no such thing. I don’t really know because I’m not listening. Because I have MS. Or because Victor is boring. Maybe both.
Also, you aren’t allowed to yell at me for making fun of MS since I may have it. Those are the rules of MS. Also, I get the last slice of pie and I’m allowed to bring service kittens with me to help calm all of my sclerosis’s. These are new MS rules I just made up but that doesn’t make them any less valid.
And in non (I probably don’t have) MS news, I’m leaving for the last leg of my tour tomorrow and there was another Chicago stop added on June 9th so please come if you can!
But in spite of my lack of witticisms I would LOVE it if you’d come to see me on my last week on the road. Here’s where I’ll be in two weeks:
Wednesday, June 6 at 7pm ~ Montclair, NJ
Thursday, June 7th ~ Blogworld NY
Friday, June 8th at 7pm ~ Brookline, MA
NEW: Saturday, June 9th at 12pm ~ Chicago IL (Center Stage at Printers Row Book Fair)
Sunday, June 10th at 2pm ~ Chicago, IL (Sold out)

So now, time for the weekly wrap-up…
What you missed in my shop (tentatively called “Eight pounds of uncut cocaine” so that your credit card bill will be more interesting.):
What you missed on the internets:
This week on shit-I-didn’t-come-up-with-but-wish-I-did-because-it’s-kind-of-awesome:
- I got nothin’. I’ve been depressed all week. Your turn. Entertain me, y’all.
and humor, a memoir about becoming a doctor that’s unlike anything you’ve
ever read before. I haven’t finished it myself but I recommend you check it out here.
