3:07 A.M.



When pain awakes you in the form of a severe headache and neck ache, topped off with explosions and gunfire, you sit up and pay attention; that is to what the heck the explosions and gunfire are all about!
Yep, fell asleep with the TV on again and this time what awoke me held my interest, but the time stamped in the corner made me think it was just fine to get up anyway…it said 3:57 and the reporter was saying that it came in an hour ago… Okay, five ain’t too bad with this noggin alarming me to get that neck brace on and coffee installed into my body to heal this brain wavering, ringing, a dinging- ing!
Only problem was… that was a replay of the earlier, evening one, at 3:57 P.M. news byte, not 3:57 A.M. and an hour ago this morning…oh well, java was poured and so I stuck it in the microwave for zapping and resigned myself to the fact that my day had begun at 3:07 A.M.!
Hard to go back to sleep especially after sipping at your brain relaxer oral medication of caffeine, and in reality I didn’t want to since I have a curious mind and we with those need to know what the heck was going on… And as all do know that the one suspect had been killed in a fire fight after he and his brother robbed a 7 Eleven and killed an MIT campus police officer and within that fire fight the elder 26 year old brother was killed and another police officer was shot and had to have emergency surgery. One million people in the greater Boston area have been on lock down since the whole night began basically and day they have been trying hard to locate the younger brother, the 19 year old, and any other bombs or people involved in this whole terrorist plot that appears to be growing as time marches on...according to the law enforcement agencies.
As of tonight’s writing the city and surrounding towns are entering their nineteenth hour of shutdown, with specific interest in a Watertown neighborhood.
No resolve has become of it all as of yet.
The father says they were framed the uncle calls them losers and their old school friends and coach think they were very nice young men and are shocked.
Law enforcement officials and family members had identified them as Dzhokhar, 19, and Tamerlan, 26, Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechen brothers who had lived in Dagestan in southern Russia. They had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived near Boston.
So many questions and no answers yet…
Just in: the lock down of the area has been lifted.
But they should remain vigilant.
Later in the day my left eye misbehaved to the point of severe pain and a bit blurry, but both symptoms came and went, so to the eye doc I was whisked away to and he found that my eye was working just fine, i.e. lefty, except for a couple of eyelashes stuck in my eye that were removed by the tech… GEEZ how embarrassing! But he recommended moving up my neuro appointment it probably isn’t, but might be another bout of Optic Neuritis if the symptoms last longer. I still had both eyes checked thoroughly with dilation and some other drops, eye chart and testing with those weird spectacles affixed to the machine, with the tech questioning/commentary, is this better, or is this better, or is this, this? This makes me want to scream! I give hand signals, not vulgar ones, but not so sure ones and whatever is suggested by the tech, I have learned over the last fifty-five years I have had to go through these insulting to my in- decisiveness on such things as this, is as too close to call, I tend to agree with whatever they say… okay, a wimp, yep, me too sometimes. Over these last, almost three years now, though, I must admit with only one working eye, it is only half as stressful as it used to be!
On that note of not that un-noteworthy, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with everyone who needs them and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!?
