Hmm..where to start..have worked at the library all week, Henrietta is back home as of Thursday evening...Her cancer is back...she's handling it like she does everything...chin up...tits out..!
She's a tough ole bird and I expect her to beat this battle just like she did 8 years ago..She's got her blood sugar down to 82..which is great..and will start doing her chemo this coming week..I don't know what she is going to do, or what the Library Board is going to do...
but told them I would work it as long as they needed me and they decided what to do..
Gee...what else...oh..! I know...Babs is here..She called Wed and told me she had been in the hospital again..I kinda figured that out on my own when she didn't post and hadn't got an email from her...So I told her to 'come on down'..(now all we need is Sooner to come on down too...and by the way Sooner and Texlahoma..congrats on your win over Texas.)
West has magical healing powers..The first night she was going out on porch to smoke her nasty fucking cigarettes(sorry Babs).she committed on how she could see the stars..I said,'go get in the truck'..so took her through town to show her how cute West looks at night with all the lights.(they have the clear ones on most all of the buildings)..and she was amazed and how many houses were decorated for Halloween..wait till Christmas..about every other house is decorated..and I mean really really decorated..
Then took her to the country..as we were driving down the road..I turned the truck lights out..she freaked out..it was pitch black..couldn't see a thing..ha.It was like the entire world disappeared..then I stopped and we got out and you could see every star..plus the milky way was just beautiful..this is where I used to take my granddaughter Jamie when there would be meteor showers...normally there wouldn't be any traffic out there..but I forgot it was Friday night and the kids all go out to the country and have keg parties..and then I got lost...I used to drive out there all the time when I drank but it was hard to find my way around while sober..Then yesterday I drove her around town at day time so she could see my little hamlet..
She maybe able to rent an apt here...Not the ones I am in the ones next to me..the 2 story ones, where you can have kids..They are only $295 a month plus electricity..here they go by your income ..but these are just options for her..Least she knows she has someone and a place to go..It's been great..I get to cook for someone again..ha...Green enchilada's for dinner last night..and eggs and sausage for breakfast today..I bought some Dublin Dr.Pepper for her and some Nemecek's ring Bologna...You just can't believe how good it is..it's $4.00 a lb. but is like no bologna you have ever eaten..ring bologna, rat cheese and crackers..Czech lunch..
I have to figure out if the Library is going to be open tomorrow..as it is Columbus Day..but think they are open as we close on Texas Independence Day...We're more apt to honor fighting Texans then lost Italians..
Annie is most happy to have another adoring cat lover..she is running up and down the hall way playing with Babs...She doesn't miss little Asshole AT ALL....What else..? We got some rain..and expecting more..I knew it was going to rain..I left the window down in the truck..so had wet ass for 1/2 a day...
I am pissed at blogger..I did a great post on Freegans..(and it ate it)about people who scrounge around in garbage/dump cans for food..not because they are poor or homeless..but because they want to minimize the support of corporations and there impact on the planet, and to distance themselves from what they see as an out-of-control consumerism...
some of the stats were interesting..
29.4 million tons of food thrown away by Americans each year.That's about 12 percent of the solid waste produced in the U.S. annually.
6.1 pounds of solid waste produced by the average New Yorker each day.The average American is 4.5 lbs..
But I think if individuals would use less and eat more left overs(my son and his wife will not eat leftovers...didn't learn that from me..that was Friday dinner..leftovers) and compost it would be better then hanging upside down in dumpsters getting your dinner..I think those people are a 5-ball short of a rack...
OK..that's all the news from West, by Goddess, Texas...Babs and I have managed to stay out of trouble..but she doesn't leave till at least Monday..so we have plenty of time to mess with the Christian's...We did find out some interesting information about one of the check out girls at Community Grocery..her and her boyfriends legs are too long for her back seat...
