3:05 AM in Hello

Ma and I did some errands today. Actually got her up and out the door by 10:30 this morning. Go me! Paid car insurance, put cash in the bank, got her ‘scripts filled ( and some Doan’s for my back, didn’t work) then groceries. $401! Granted we were out of everything. Good thing is we’re fully stocked on meats, veggies, lunch meats and soups. She’s trying to reduce us on going out to eat, which yeah, we’ve done a LOT lately.

Tomorrow (today?) I HAVE to mow the lawn. The weeds are up to my knees. Guess I’ll get that around ten or eleven. It’s going to be in the low eighties today so I proposed (since we have nothing to do) bust out the lawn chairs, sit outside and read. Get some sun. It was cool enough and breezy today so it should be just as good later on.

I’ve got a little over one hundred pages left to book five of the Dresden series. I like Harry Dresden. A wizard who still embraces the fact he gets terrified of what he’s up against but uses that energy to fuel his magic. Plus he’s a natural wise ass. Right up my alley. Earlier in this book he made a summoning ring to capture the spirit of an oracle for an interrogation. The binding agent he used to trap the spirit was a Cabbage Patch doll. Even the spirit called him out on it. I laughed till I had tears in my eyes. See, good fiction!

I’m getting a bit hungry. I did pick up a can of sardines at the grocery store and I do have crackers. 🤔 I can here the collective of you throwing up now. Papa (grandfather) got me hooked on them when I was little. Love that stuff! Then again a sandwich does sound good. I dunno, I need the energy to get up and do it. I’m tired.

Lastly, whenever I go to Circle K now for an icee I pick up a roll of Sweet Tarts. When I crave the sugar from booze I pop a few of those bad boys and let them sit on my tongue. Mmm

Speaking of cravings, I’m doing better now. Only if I’m in a foul mood or have had a bad day does it creep into my mind. Any other time and I’m not even thinking about it. Still wanna get stoned, though. Learning to live with that.
