HEY THIS IS THURSDAY'S POST... I MISSED MIDNIGHT BY three seconds ... not thanks to my own dallying but thanks to Googles up-****ing. Thanxx a log Google...
EVILSTEIN, MY OBJECTIONABLE LANLORD'S AGENT came bursting in this afternoon, knocking my drink over, telling me the place is too untidy (he thinks I should dispose of all I own and subsist in an operating theatre. Even then, like the legendary military tent-inspection, I know he'd find fault enough with whatever I did to label the surgical blankness "dirty".
Evilstein's useless henchmen had to measure up in order to fit/order/install replacement windows~(??!) I cannot help but wonder what extremes they will be pushed to in the bodge-job stakes with this particular assignment ... What will go wrong?... Windows that don't fit? Ones that don't open (that's more Evilstein's style). PVCu monstrosities that go cloudy in the sun..?? Something's bound to go dramatically wrong!
I had horrible dreams all night last night. Some recurring nightmare of being under arrest in a giant hi-tech police station. Can't even remember the alleged "crime" but I've never done it. What I recall was that it was all symbolic of my giving up drugs. Seeing that no escape was possible I turned to plotting methods of suicide. Eventually settling on an undeclared hunger strike to weaken the body then to take a piece of metal, a shard of glass, plastic even or a paperclip or anything that is sharp or could be sharpened, anything that I could muster in desperation and lunge at, tear into my flesh deep enough to gash open a major blood vessel open in the dead of night and lie there quietly bleeding in rivers of my own blood wrapped in sheets trying not to sob or scream out, just to get through it right to the bitter end... and then... Sunrise.
Not to perpetrate Natural Justice upon myself for I had done nothing wrong (not, at least the major crime of which I was accused). But just to Go Home... finally. At long last. Just to Get Out of there and Go Home... Where I belong.
Woke up in a sweat and feeling sick for drugs. The methadone I'd taken had not been enough.
I've always been useless at detoxification. A big crying baby whose dummy has been taken away. (Only by my own choice!) Of course I've managed these past 33 years without a dummy but o! At the time, aged 2, I bet: the horrors! The pains I went through!!
Imagine if you can that we could all recall in detail the protracted agonies of our own babyhoods? The hot nights crying ill with childhood fevers, the horrors of teething, the constant upsets. All those hours on end we have spent lying abandoned and bawling our eyes out with curried nappies and nobody is running here fast enough (Mum is probably fast asleep and I don't blame her. Looking after me must have been so exhausting.) At 4am nobody hears your screams. And time, of course, passes ten, twenty, perhaps thirty times more slowly through the infant mind... only multiplying one's discomforts... What an agony life would be if we all grew up remembering all of that... And we'd all think we had the excuse to grow up into heroin addicts - addled by the sheer trauma of not having been coddled ...
Not much in the way of robo-news today. Last night I gave them Red Label 40 teabags box with tiny windows sniped into each of six sides. Itchy, once he got fed up of being loop-the-looped by the 2 heavier wheel-marathon-ing hammies, spent hours in there, washing his wet fur even wetter and attacking alien-fingered millet sprays...
Wow I'm knock-knack-knackered. I'm sure I've still got dregs of that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from eleven years past. As every time I physically push myself I end up oversleeping... hours and hours on end... for days and days at a time...

Thanks for visiting my blog the other day. Impressive digs you have here. Congrats. Authoring five blog must keep you busy. I love Sly and the family stone, by the way.
HI there. Sorry about the night mares. They suck and I hope you don't have anymore.
Can I ask you a question? Have you ever done meth. My moronic 18yo tried it and it sent him inot a manic tailspin and he landed in ER. They gave him lots of ativan and he feels better. I honestly think he scared the crap outta himself. He was the one who insisted his friends(not the meth people, kid thought he had tried cocaine)take him to the hospital. I was just curious if you knew anything about it.
Janice-the mother who would kill whoever gave her kid meth but he won't tell. Good thing. I'd hate jail.
I think Sinead O'conners version of sacrifice is one of the best Ive heard.
I sympathise with you regarding the nightmares, not pleasant, but I think there is something positive in your psyche coming through, hence the sunrise, not an easy journey all the same
Im really enjoying the daily adventures of the Robo hammys such different little personalities..lol
Hi Gleds
I'm answering your questions on my blog about the Northern Territory escape.
No, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, etc are in Far North Queensland...only about one-and-a-half to two hours' flight away from Brisbane, where I am. Great country...
Mark: Ah but I hardly put anything in the other four! Except youtube screens!!
Janice: short answer is no... in my day "speed" was amphetamine sulphate (here) not methamphetamine... all I know about ice/crystal/whatever the kids call it is it's meant to be v nasty
Audrey: I hope so!
Puss-in-Boots: How typical of me to get that wrong!! ... OK so Northern Territory is more to the left hand side, centre at the top..?
Love Sly and the Family Stone! I had a dummy til I was 5!
Just wanted to say thankyou for your lovely comment on my post yesterday about my grandson. x
Ake: A dummy till you were five..?? Did you? I can't actually remember having a dummy so I'd assumed I was "weaned" off at a v young age... on 2nd thoughts though maybe I got the age a bit younger than it actually was!
Nightmares suck. Hope you get your windows in nicely and they don`t mess up :)
I didn`t have a dummy and ended up sucking my thumb until I was eleven. One bad habit I was able to beat at least :) Good thing LOL
tea

Hi, Gleds. Well, at leats you have given Evilstein that name and I'm sure that must help! Hope you don't have nightmares tonight. Auguri
Totally off topic Gled, but I had one of the most awesome Japanese dinners the other night. During the meal I thought "this is one of those things Gled would take a picture of and blog". Didn't have the camera, but since I was thinking of you I wanted to drop by and say hi.
Take care of yourself.
but we understand what we wanna say!!!
HUAHUAHUAHUAHUAAA
Tea-&-Margaritas: My brother used to suck his thumb... making an annoying clucking noise... until he was far older than I was when I stopped... and his thumb had this enormous blister-type thing on it from all the wetness (I spose)... Also I do recall my dentist warning that excessive thumbsucking actually could lead to rabbit-style BUCK TEETH! (Hope you didn't get 'em.) (But I bet that's a lie anyhow. wouldn't surprise me. You can never trust dentists. An undercover investigation some years ago revealed many were prepared to perform fillings and extractions on teeth that were HEALTHY ... JUST FOR THE MONEY... which does not surprise me AT ALL
Welshcakes: I'd like to have called him something that rhymes with "hunt" styne.. but am snookered by my own personal swearing ban on this blog!
Discovering: If I had a camera I surely would have!
Looking after me must have been so exhausting.)
why did you write this...i feel there is something to think about in this sentence...and I agree with Audrey, things are emerging slowly but they are...i know it must be painful...hold on dear one...
