Kelly (groans)
Pearl (shakes her head): You came home awful early last night, hon.
Kelly (nods): I couldn't breathe. I rushed to a clinic ... but naturally the lazy donkey butts wanted me to go to the ER. I'm not rushing to the ER to pay thousands of dollars so they can prescribe me an inhalor or something.
Pearl: So what did you do?
Kelly: Went to the store and bought an over-the-counter inhalor, some vapor patches, and those warming pads that heat up when you expose them to air. It helped, but trying to sleep was difficult. *smirks* Thanks for letting me sleep in your bed, Pearl. I didn't want to sleep alone what with having breathing problems and stuff.
Pearl: Oh, that reminds me, sugah. That doc called an' left a message sayin' they don't open 'til two. Won't be able to see him 'til then.
Kelly: Grrrr --.
