Sadly South Carolinas fires have taken 90 homes at this writing, and they appear to have a cause, someone burning trash in their yard, still blazing in over 20K acres.
Our fire in Florida Big Cyprus Preserve has also spread to over 10K acres and moved up to encompassing route 29 north and jumped to the west of the Alligator Alley. Creating some, believe or not smoky odors are here nearly 100 miles from the action as the crow flies from here.
So I’m staying inside, besides the smoke our heat here has been ungodly in the 90’s, but oddly enough with low humidity, if it was high the fire chance would not have been so high! It has actually been below 30%.
Our news locally reported when they went on air that a grocery store in Englewood, in this county had a suspicious package and it has been evacuated and they are waiting for the bomb squad from our Lee County to the south of us, Ft. Myers territory. Update: 6:17 P.M.: the bomb squad robot is on the scene now!
Interesting how now they, the FAA, released the numbers of bird versus plane strikes just today the tally has been 109K since 1990, who counts this stuff, and isn’t that scary? Only less than 30 planes have actually been destroyed, well, I’m reassured, not!
My slow return to pain has begun unfortunately, shoulders, thighs, neck and chest, my inventory has been taken of where exactly. What I just found out is that what it is called is the MS Hug that is occurring, oh so that’s what it’s called when you feel like someone is strangling you or doing the Heimlich or putting a tourniquet at the top of you thigh, well at least now it’s got a name; no one told me before. My Baclofen is being used for spasms, and I hope it will also help this. The steroids are getting less by the pills graduation weaning. I don’t get to see the doc until 5-6-09 at 9 A.M. And I am starting to panic about what her charge will be, and yes she is a young female neurologist, but informed me I will be seeing her P.A., physician’s assistant also a woman. I hope that means it will not be as expensive for me, and then there is always the fear that they will shock me with a big bill after, or not let me leave without paying, boy…I’m scaring myself again! I have got to stop this!
I am still grasping at straws I have emails or snail-mails to the world at large about my dilemma, who knows it could work, one could only hope, can’t one?
When it gets down to the nitty gritty, as us children of the sixties used to say one gets going and never gives up without that old college try. You may ask yourself just how many useless old expressions she’s got in her arsenal, well, who knows, my brain aint what it used to be. As you might of noticed by those old clams not being quite on target, but you get my point for that I am sure.
So with that ludicrous reasoning I will bid you all good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
Remember in all insanity there is usually a smidge of enlightenment and lucidity.
Be careful of the swine, flu that is, shocker! 20 dead in Mexico and 8 cases here in the US.
And Jay Leno... please be well.
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
