Shouting's Over

YESTERDAY NIGHT I seemed to be shouting comments all over the place. I'm sorry if I seemed a little loud. I certainly wasn't drunk. (I drank 2 cans!!) I got really excited about some wild terrapins in Vancouver (check down the pictures; you'll see 'em ...) -... and a few other things ... Having done all my shouting I spent today in retirement. I really have to go out and get those antidepressants/ or just go out and do something. Each morning when I wake I run through what I've procrastinated, run through the mimimum I can get away with doing. And make a compromise based on doing as little of the second as my conscience will allow ...

No news for now. I've decided to tell the story of my boo-hoo childhood. That can be my self-justifying excuse for my present junkiehood. (Well, it will be in the eyes of people like Pat-Rick.) Otherwise, for me and for you ... grown up people, it will be background info and not an excuse. I don't believe in using the past as an excuse.

But still I want to tell it ...

PS The difference between butterflies and moths in a nutshell?
It's not just that butterflies are more colourful and tend to come out by day. This is is unequivocally:
Butterflies rest with wings closed together together. Moths rest with wings open (like a pinned down butterfly specimen)... And that's it.

    You don't need an excuse for anything, it's all a journey.

    Re my uncomfortable childhood (it's not THAT much of a story anyhow; I'm no Dave Pelzer II) ... I sat down with pen & notebook last night to tell all ... and all the sands of time suddenly piled up on me, like a huge chore. I will tell it all, when I'm in the mood ... it will not be a chore ...

    & I shall ensure the mood hits me within the next 7 days !!

    Having experienced a sketchy childhood myself, I suggest you write about it when you can. It can be a wrenching experience. Take care.
