10:51 AM Karen: Good morning! What are you doing today?
 me: bunch of stuff, seems
  might go into office but not sure yet
  finishing up (maybe) these two more important docs - book and film
10:52 AM just got deadline and specs for Deep Ellum piece
 Karen: i thought your dad went to arkansas?
 me: he did
  I don't really work for Dad
 Karen: well today is saturday -- who is there on weekends?
 me: is today Saturday?
 Karen: Yes!
 me: nevermind, then
 Karen: hahaha!
 me: just all the other stuff
10:53 AM I don't keep up with these things
  that would explain why I was invited to a party last night
  if you could run by with some cigs and Gatorade and maybe some of those juice drinks for the weekend, that would be great
10:54 AM Karen: What kind of juice drinks?
10:56 AM me: those Odwalla thing they have at 7-11 and everywhere else
  Naked is a similar brand
10:57 AM Karen: why, did you do drugs?
 me: are you now associating juice, gatorade, and cigarettes with drugs?
  no
 Karen: that Odwalla juice I am.
10:58 AM me: you're thinking of grapefruit juice
 Karen: No, you asked for that Odwalla after you'd had the big costly evening of heroin.
 me: okay, I did indeed do so
  I also went over to your house
10:59 AM and probably ate things there that I don't have at home usually
  anyway, no, I didn't do drugs
  I want real juice products because I've been working out at gem
 Karen: gem?
 me: gym, rather
11:00 AM less questions, more juice, pleasee
11:01 AM Karen: also it is Vicodin, not vicatin. I'm afraid you really have done permanent damage to your brain.
 me: seriously?
 Karen: Yes.
 me: I think it's more likely
11:02 AM that because I happened to misspell a word associated with drugs once
  that you've unconsciously made that association and now deployed it without good reason
11:03 AM also, doing heroin is not associated with brain damage
 Karen: OK, yeah! I think it's probably been a good thing for you!
  I will bring you juice!
 me: Okay, it's been a great start to the day
11:04 AM I know better than to ask for fucking juice now
 Karen: Allrighty then, I will run to the store, just call me if you think of anything else you want/need.
  I am coming with juice and cigarettes in about 30 minutes.
  Love you.
 me: love you too, thanks
  just, seriously
11:05 AM when we talk in the mornings
  I and ask you to drop off something like juice
  which I appreciate you doing
  nevermind
11:06 AM Karen: We're even then! My nights lately have been spent tossing and turning, worrying about you, instead of sleeping.
 me: maybe you have brain damage
  anyway, see you soon
