List Five

A Few Things Which, It Turns Out, Are Remarkably Difficult to Do 
While Taking Cyclobenzaprine Three Times Daily For Three Days, For Moderate to Severe Muscle Spasm In The Lower Back 

  • Hold a conversation in real time and not, as it turns out, five minutes after everyone else.
  • Concurrently blink both eyes.
  • Put on my socks without falling over.
  • Speak with my employer in a professional manner on the phone. I may have called my boss, the Division Coordinator, "a totally rad chick."
  • Prevent myself, based on the above, from time-slipping into a different decade.
  • Successfully manipulate a doorknob by the third attempt.
  • Make toast using the fridge, apparently. For, like, at least 15 minutes. Lucky I didn't burn the place down.
