YES. A DRAB & EMPTY DAY. Every time my fone rang with people tormenting me I sank deeper under the covers. Had to go out, absolutely had to, this afternoon. So got it over and done with and got immediately back to bed & back to my coma.
I am depressed & empty & lacking of everything. I don't feel well. The world is horrible & cold & dull. The only thing to make me "laugh" in the last 24 hours was my awakening at circa 4:50am with a mouse attempting a stealthy escape job from sleeve via the neck of my hoodie. Ha! Your claws are too sharp, Mousey. You're busted!!! --& the Mouse was very angry indeed. When I threw him back in the tank his nest kept flying repeatedly up in the air. I don't know what game he might have been playing except "burrow under the toilet tubes, through the glass to a Sesame Street of freedom" ... well, I don't know.
It is dark and late and all snow has gone. I've no veins playing ball 2nite so the "gear" had to go in my arse. (Intramuscularly - IM.) A highly perceptive (yet debatable) BBC documentary went out a couple of days ago -- and I meant to post about it then. "Should diamorphine (pharmaceutical heroin) be prescribed by the British State?" To me this story is a wind up. Do it or don't do it. A painfully small number of addicts are given injectable, prescribed heroin. They say this costs the State £10,000 a year. Surely this is not just the cost of the diamorphine. I know for a fact that poppy-farmers, if they're willing to have their crops surrounded by electric fences/etc and supply the pharmaceuticals industry get approximately one third of the price the Taliban would pay them. Well, that is what they moan to journalists from the BBC ...
Click this link and you should get into BBC "listen again": the programme name is The Investigation; you can then get the entire show played in real time (not a podcast) via your computer. If you want to hear it, don't delay. I'm not sure it'll be available past next Wednesday.
Take care folks. I'm off to shove my head back under the duvet...
PS Was Anna Nicole Smith taking x or y? Postmortem inconclusive. Okay, maybe she was not on heroin. But the lady was an addict. Of that I am sure ...
Glad you found my blog. Your writing style is quite descriptive and entertaining. I wish you the best.

Why you feeling bad? You wouldn't if you were my roomate. Move to Seattle and live with me. But send me a picture first so I am sure you are a guy. If you are a girl you can live with me too.
ReplyDeletesorry you are feeling blah! Get outside if you can, even for a few minutes. It helps. I swear if I didn't force myself to get outside somedays, I would stay in the house forever. (well maybe not as my little one's need to get out too)
ReplyDeleteHey my sis said there is a drug she is using at the clinic she works at for the heroin addicts for getting off and they are reporting that it's really good and she's seen good result. Stupidly I have now forgotten the name. I think she said it's new?
Feel Better!
I'm sorry you're not feeling well. My comment in regards to prescribing addicts with their drug is that it should be done. I've seen in work first hand. It costs the state less to hand out the drugs than it does to care for addicts who get sick, who have to steal, who need medical attention due to bad low-quality drugs. It also works because the addict doesn't have the stress of trying to find the next hit. They can become more functioning people and take much better care of themselves. They don't have to use crime as a way to get drugs, they don't have to prostitute themselves, there are less break-ins and robberies and less victims of. Not only that, but the addicts have a safe and clean environment where they can inject and in Frankfurt (for example) the centre comes with counselors and medical staff in case they are needed. The list goes on.
ReplyDeleteI tell ya, sometimes being in bed is the best thing in the world. Relish it and get out on your own time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get out of bed until almost noon yesterday, and I had the best day!
a nudge gled....we miss you when you hibernate. today's a new day (or some bs like that)
ReplyDeletesesame street of freedom, that is classic.
ReplyDeleteMa always said get up out of the bed and make it, so you don't lay back down. This generally causes me to nap on the couch, but you get the idea.
I hope Monday is treating u better? :)
ReplyDeleteAnna Nicole Smith...poor gal. She was a tragedy waiting to happen.

ReplyDeleteJeffrey Archer (the parasite) spends more than this yearly on his bar bill in the House of Commons....
