I’ve been working this morning. I turned in my assignment for this week for class already and have already gone grocery shopping as well. I feel much better than last week and thank all of you for thinking about me.
I got a nice little ego boost–I had sent my short piece “Trade-In” to my professor to get her opinion and she had unreserved praise for it. Her only critique was to make it even more compact and make every word earn its place in it. So I’ve done a little tightening on it and am glad I sent it to her.

Hey CDC, “I’m not who you think I am!” – by Angelika
I’m offended by the CDC opioid prescribing guidelines, with their assumption that I’m stupid and lazy (if my pain is even real in the first place) and that my doctor is ignorant and negligent.
I’m insulted by the derogatory appraisal of patient behavior and appalled that the CDC has broadcast such a devastatingly negative stereotype of pain patients
Coming from the government’s “Center for Disease Control”, these guidelines stigmatize patients with the authority of the US government behind them.
