Everyone gets to where they are going

 When I buy a few tools, there is always a decision of whether to get a full set of them at a slight discount. 

A month ago, I bought an arm sling. I need a new knee brace. Ice packs are a recent purchase, as well as monthly shoe insoles.  Now I am looking at ankle supports hoping something will help me walk without a limp that will take its toll on my back. 

But there is no full kit of braces that will save the perpetually broken a few bucks.  I know I am going to eventually need one of everything in that aisle.

(Time Lapse)...Foot does not fit ankle support. It says it fits "Most".   Suspicions confirmed.  I am not "Most".  Limp back for the return tomorrow 

Conceptu Vivus

Some believe the abstract exists but does nothing...

The numbers were there before we were...

Concepts exist somewhere unseen, but have no power on the concrete?  

 The abstract "nothing" beats matter to dust on a daily basis. 

The great weapon, BELIEF (BELIFE), liquifies the concrete, or steels it. 

Do we will the concept to life, or does the concept manifest us? 

We are spacedust. 

Blank Pages

Ezekiel, do you know in a story, when the character is dying and heading for the bright light, do you know what that light is? 

No, Author, I don't. Please let me finish my work? You created me for good reason.

That light is merely blank pages, waiting to be filled. 

Goodbye, Ezekiel.

Typo and all

 

Occam's Razor doesn't finish the job

Questioning weaponized absurdity only feeds it and makes it stronger

-------------------------------------------------

 I woke up on my bum left shoulder. Not good. Haven't slept on it for a month and a half, at least. Maybe my body was trying to get away from the back pain. I said to myself, "Self, ('cause that is what I call myself) -my back doesn't hurt. What's wrong?" ...but like that dog that gets lost on vacation in Florida but hitchhikes all the way to Anchorage to find its owner, back pain always finds its way. It's in the name.

We spend our lives putting a face to a voice and call that reality. (Flimsy)

Not everyone was meant to fly...but now they can

Autoimmune disease. Immune system attacking you by mistake. What if it isn't a mistake?

--------------------------------------

It is hard to get something out of a system you are discovering you are not a part of

----------------------------------------

I feel like using the word extrapolate in a sentence.

You never know the hell someone else is dealing with.

Lens falls out of my glasses again, (still rigged up since I sat on and bent the frames , months ago.)

I, being virtually blind WITH the glasses, look for hours with a flashlight in the dark for the tiny brown screw on the brown floor.

Wife wakes up, I explain, and she tells me to get her repair kit. She then tells me the screw is still in the frame and she is glad I didn't get on my hands and knees to look for it (cause I probably couldn't get back up).

Anyway, I can see some things better than others now.

Now for a Greek yogurt breakfast smoothie with my favorite live active cultures, and a handful of prescribed medications.

Mmmm. A good Monday to ya.

-------------------------------------------------

Some people think it is deliberate, but the trick is an artful life chooses you. There is no escaping.

Wife just asked "How is your life going?"

I said, " It has been as the legends foretold, my love."

Too many bridge burning incidents are assumed accidental when they are, in fact, well planned arson.

Fragility is apple and cinnamon instant oatmeal, made with water instead of milk.

Tragedy is adding the proper amount of chia seeds, after I misread the tablespoon/teaspoon thing for 2 weeks.

But it's good for me.

----------------------------------------------------

Just when you realize there is no more time for fuckups, you realize that is what time is for.

----------------------------------------------------

Legend in my own mind. Earnest. Never do the easy thing. Trade off...wound that never heals. War stories.

Quality of life? A man's just got to live long enough...

-------------------------------------------------------

A few days ago, my wife opened a box of crackers to find the individual tubes unsealed and not full.

Tonight, cooked a pot pie for an hour to find it empty and with no bottom crust.

Quality control runs amok

----------------------------------------------------

I woke up in the hospital, not knowing what hospital I was in. I did not know if I was transported to a bigger hospital for a surgery.... for all I knew, this was the afterlife. Some believe life just picks up in the same place after we pass...

You are eating at the right burger joint when you watch a delivery from the butcher shop across the street.

Today I will be sporting , to the best of my abilities, a newly refurbished can-do attitude.

Today, the whole world smells of new car.

Feels like it would be foolish not to feel a touch depressed over current developments

 But one has to laugh at the preposterous 

Captains Log-health diary

 Pain still in left shoulder, but now right big toe swells up and joins in.  At least this is an old pain. It sucks, but I know what is coming. Probably the whole foot will blow up, and I need to go get a cheap size 12 4E shoe and cut out the toes and wear it with no shoestrings.  I normally wear a size 8. 

Can't use the walker with the shoulder and elbow and wrist iffy...crutch sucks.  May be time for a walking stick. My wife has suggested a motorized scooter. (Not happening, yet.) 

Psoriasis has been unusually subdued, but the layers of skin on my feet that are growing in and falling off is amazing.  I suppose that is psoriasis also. 

Do diets cause flair ups in various arthritic conditions? No need to answer. I will research it myself.  

I have been asked why I don't go to the doctor for all of this?  Because in a stretch like this, I would be there three times a week. Surely, it is the same thing, just moving around. My wife suggests making a list for the doc.

Looking forward to a return to creative writing...perhaps something not as humorous as real life.
