I’m thrilled to be featured in the December issue of The Laughter Rx Newsletter,
the newsletter that gives doctors, nurses, patients, and family enhanced power to heal.
The holidays can be a rough time for many.
Let’s remember that caregivers need a respite from burnout, too.
Special thanks to Karen Lee.

Feeling stressed?
Battered by Frankenstorm?
Fatigued from all the election hullabaloo?
I feel your pain. Laughter will soothe you, and maybe get you through November’s other Fun Fest – “open enrollment” for health insurance.
Here is a collection of humor on health by a bunch of entertaining comedy writers that will cheer you up!
I have an essay in it called “Your Recent Stay With Us.” It concerns a hospital stay. You will relate.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
The ebook is available on Amazon for $2.99 – do it for your health.
Your liver and your pancreas will thank you.

Did I say… she’s five?
As daughters become older, they become increasingly brutal entertaining and wise – especially with their advice.

What’s 1) short and sweet 2) fast and funny 3) a collection of one-liners and quotes on love, sex, life, pain, health, aging 4) like a friggin’ box of tasty truffles but less fattening and only $2.99 on Amazon for heaven’s sake 5) an “entertaining little ebook you will treasure!”

1. Location. Location. Location. You are reclining in a cozy donut pool float, gloriously buzzed on Jamaican rum cocktails, drifting in the balmy blue Caribbean… but a hungry shark has a hankering for your pricey, dutifully applied 70 SPF face lotion.
2. Politics. You’ve stopped screaming like a banshee at the election year coverage on the cable news channels.
3. Loss of thirst for your favorite wine, Chateau St. Jean French Chardonnay. Say it ain’t so.
4. Sex. You no longer consider vaginal rejuvenation a viable option.
5. Money. Compulsive couponing has lost its charm. You really can’t take that extra 15 cents with you? Damn.

Woo hoo! It’s my birthday today. I was due on Labor Day. Ouch.
I love jelly beans – especially oddball flavors like “peach bellini” and “kiwi blast.”
Jelly Belly flavor or Yankee Candle scent? Mental Floss Quiz by Josh Halbur.
Info you can use… How to win a jelly bean guessing contest.
Did you know that “Jelly Bean” is a Japanese pop band?
Yes, there are “Jesus Jelly Beans.”
Fun video. The Lazy Song (Jelly Beans Music Video) Do you like Bruno Mars?

July is National Boredom Month, and so I celebrate boredom. Come on, cultivate your ennui.
And may the force be with you.
Arrrgh!
1. READ A BOOK. WTF why not – How ’bout a clever book about boredom?
ANATOMY OF BOREDOM – Boredom: A Lively History by Peter Toohey (via BrainPickings!)
2. PLAY OLD SCHOOL SCRABBLE – or a “bored game” of your choice – ‘TIL YOUR EYES BLEED or ‘TIL NOBODY IN YOUR FAMILY IS SPEAKING TO YOU.
3. Catch up with the 21st century. Go electronic with Scrabble Flash.
4. DRINK, preferably with friends (FB friends don’t count) and when in a jolly mood. Wine away.
5. Join a club. Hmmm, here’s one!
7. HIT the “celebrity news.” Reading about how bored senseless Paris Hilton and/or Lindsay Lohan are – with all their money, glam, beauty, youth, personal assistants, movie star friends, toys, talents, trainers, and resources – will help you focus on your own blessings…
like “Thank God, I can’t afford a cocaine habit,” or “Good thing I don’t have to worry about totaling my Porsche Carrera 997 S,” or “Darn, I don’t have anything to wear to my court appearance today.”
