Falling Off The Wagon

Today was a momentus day in my life.  You wouldn’t have thought so at nine o clock.  The only thing that was different is that I still felt the anxiety about the draconian bug patrol tht will be unleashed soon.  The previous two days my morning anxiety had faded and it wasn’t noticed the whole rest of the day.  Today was different.  I had Stephanie Miller and then Thom Hartman on.  As eleven o clock approached I made my way down to lunch.  Then there was another announcement about the bug spraying.  All rooms were required to bag their belongings into throw away and keep by Sunday night.  I was under the impression we had another whole week before the spraying started.  My body was telling me of the problem before I knew it.  We had unbreaded fish for lunch and brown rice and mixed vegetables.  I had lost my appetite but managed to eat it.  I don’t remember the dessert.  I went to the liquor store and told myself I was only going to look at liquor prices.  But when I saw the Tacotte beer at $2.19 for a 24 oz can I decided to buy it.  I took it home and popped the lid.  It was the first time in eighteen years that beer had passed my lips and I tasted the taste of it and felt its soothing effects.  I wondered why I hadn’t done it much sooner.  I decided to drink at a leisurely pace.  I went out and told the others I had ended my eighteen year ban on alcohol.  I also looked over the areas to be considered trash and figured I better “feed the kitty” so to speak.  But I’m still unsure about just what I be left with when the spraying is done that I won’t have to wait literally weeks to have returned.  I don’t get that.  I listened to Gary and Shannon and watched Days of our Lives.  Victor ordered Zander to shoot and kill Ben but he refused, claiming he’s “turning over a new leaf” for his new love Sarah.  Brady and Nicole are reunited.  At two we learned that Dorthey is getting kicked out of here because she had a few Asperin and a few Benedryl pills.  Then I watched a “Dateline” I’d seen before but didn’t remember the jury verdict.  The second verdict was guilty even though the judge made it hard for the prosecution.   They were removing pictures from the halls.  I had previously heard they were going to do the halls and stairwells on Monday.  Joselyn also told me that no action would be taken without a personalized letter spelling out all of the elaborate instructions they had alluded to on Tuesday when I first heard of it.   Eye Witness news is on behind me.  If I post a blog today this paragraph will be first.  The Trump stuff can wait.  The human side of me things that surely President Trump sees the walls closing in on him. 

ABC network news says that Hurricane Dorian has officially hit land in North Carolina.  We need to pray for all the people ravaged by this hurricane.  Then they will retire the name so we don’t have to hear about Dorian any more, that had dominated the news for the past week.  President Trump draw an extra curved line around Alabama with a sharpie.  I guess technically this is some kind of crime.  It’s just another of the endless examples of Trump’s pettiness. 

Here is one for the record books.  A 73 year old woman gave birth by C section by in-vetro furtelization.  The husband was 80.   I wonder about the ethics of such a thing.  Now they are trying to tell us that it is the couple’s first child.  Un-believable!  

Brother Bart drove up in his car and I resolved to attend the Bible Study but first I wanted to cool down my system with Coke.  Last night I was hot and doused my head with water and also deliberately drank water and waited on the coffee.  Brother Bart was just getting going.  Some lady gave the introductory prayer in a firey fashion.  Bart’s message was on getting out inheritance from God because we are “sealed” with him, much like a letter or a last will and testament is sealed till the day death comes.  Although this time it’s our death.  This man inherited a fancy Bible but it was decades before the impoverished guy realized that there were five thousand dollars scattered throughout the pages of the Bible.  After a while I left when Cathy Knowell started speaking.  After a smoke it was time for the start of Eye Witness news.  But it was just fire coverage so I decided to shave.
