Talk about your day thread

[Ello Sailor]

Spent the whole fucking day buying stuff just like Paris teached me to.

I’ll relax a bit in the pool and later go for dinner.

Tomorrow I’ll travel for a nearby beach.

Please post the beach you decide on so I can enjoy it vicariously.

My boyfriend is in fuckin Thailand in a beautiful little cabin with its own private little beach. Keeps calling me to watch the sunset n bullshit of that nature.

I’m sitting here in freezing cold pissy rainy Dublin and still sick.

Life is not fair and sometimes vicarious is forced on you and you don’t want it!

Make an exception for VG and his travel stories though cos he’s a legend.

Man, I'd love to be in freezing cold, pissy, rainy Dublin right now

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

You really wouldn’t. It’s so grim when it’s like this.

Dime have you seen a doctor recently

I did. Last week. This is goin on since January*. Went back to the doc last Monday. She sent me straight to A&E. there I sat for 12 hours in a mental waiting room full of other sick people.
Eventually got seen to. Xray all clear and no problem with blood. So it’s a mystery illness.
Back for more bloods on the 25th. Not to be a moan but it’s agony and I’m eating painkillers like candy.

UPDATE: I ONLY HAD THE ONE

[dad]

woke up this morning to a freezing cold house. The thermostat stopped working, basically in both zones of the house - Wyze thermostats are trash btw.

Schools and most businesses are closed today due to weather - ice and snow - though no snow yet. I drove to Lowe’s to get a new thermostat. There’s a store less than two miles from our house. It was a little slick in some spots. By the time I got a new one and started back home the roads got progressively worse.

We have a tech looking at our heater now.

Glad you were able to get someone there today!
