The Sleep of the ReNarcoticized

The view from my chair – cool, no?

Whoa Dudes and Dudettes, I am WAY groggy+++ on this late November morning! Jen increased my meds to what I should be taking. Now I’m remembering why I asked her to cut the dosages. This grogification shit is temporary but molto annoying. This is temporary – gotta keep reminding myself of that. The very good news is that I’m walking better and, right now, my back doesn’t hurt. Yea me!

As I was making the coffee, feeding the cats, sifting litter boxes and all that other mega fun morning stuff, the Bow Wow Wow tune I Want Candy began spinning on the old internal turntable. Naturally I wondered warum and was gibt and shit. I LOVED this frothy little tune, by the by. Just looked at the lyrics and NOW I get it:

I know a guy who’s tough but sweet
He’s so fine, he can’t be beat
He’s got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire

I want candy, I want candy

EYup!

TEN!

In this case, my candy, (AKA Ten) will be setting the winter, not summer, sun on fire when he arrives in just a skinny hair over three weeks.

Guess what?! I’ll be back to my usual fluorescent abby-normal, NOT woozy and ultra weak state by then too. AWESOME!

In other good news, Crooks and Liars summarized this week’s interesting events:

1. Robert Mueller blew up Paul Manafort’s cooperator agreement, calling him a liar. Part of Manafort’s crimes include money laundering and failing to report payments from Russians Manafort stashed in offshore accounts.
2. Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to one count of lying to Congress, admitting that negotiations for Trump Tower Moscow were ongoing even after Trump won the Republican nomination.
3. German police closed in and raided Deutsche Bank in relation to the investigation of a huge money laundering operation where employees set up offshore accounts to launder funds on behalf of wealthy clients. Deutsche Bank is Trump’s go-to lender, loaning money for Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C. and Trump Tower in Chicago, among others.
4. Chicago Alderman Edward Burke’s offices were raided. Burke worked with Trump to mitigate property taxes on Trump’s Chicago property.

   

   love my bedroom BUT I SO need a new view!

Are they related or are they coincidental? I don’t know. But it sure seems like there must be a bigger picture here that we just can’t quite see. Yet.

I believe I’ll need to stock up on popcorn  and Jamo (once my taste buds return to their usual whiskey loving state). Shit’s about to get real and fun!

More good shit – Jen and I will be motoring down to Pawtucket, Rhode Island tomorrow morning for the Foundry Artists Holiday Show. We go every year – it’s spectacular. This will be my first post-surgery time outta the house, aside from walks with my visiting nurse/physical therapist.Weeeeeeeee! 

Jen wonders if I’m up to it. There’ll be lots of wandering about, looking at beautiful arts and crafts. I’ll bring a cane or maybe even my walker. Might not need ‘em but it’s a useful way to signal crowds to make way and give the fuckin' crip some space.

Yup, if I can’t use my current, TEMP weakened state to my advantage, what the fuck good is it?

My father says that there is only one perfect view — the view of the sky straight over our heads, and that all these views on earth are but bungled copies of it.
