Barbara Toomer called me a
couple days ago I saw on my cell phone and she actually left a
message. Barbara wanted to know if I was going to be participating in
the Washington DC action which is coming up the latter part of
September. But I heard this inquiry I sort of chuckled to myself
trying to envision me in Washington DC on a national strike. I almost
immediately shrugged off the vision I had as non-doable. It seemed I
had a handful of excuses which would prohibit my involvement in this
action. However I must admit the thought is somewhat intoxicating to
be in DC again, in the fall going up against the federal police. I
had other things on my mind and quickly the thought and request
vacated my brain.
Today was not much of the
exciting day. I messed around the apartment for a bit. I got to bed
way late and did not even get up to about 8 o'clock. I rented two
movies Yesterday. I was going to watch them yesterday afternoon or
evening but Lori Brock texted me and wanted to get together. Lori
sounded a little insistent So I figured why not? Did now have a whole
lot else going on Friday night except the rented videos.
By the time I got back
from the bus stop where I was waiting with Lori for her bus to go
home the time was nearly 10 o'clock. I watched one of the movies
anyway which by the time the movie was completed and I got to bed it
was nearly 2 o'clock in the morning! I felt drugged out this morning.
I felt I was moving in slow motion. However I did manage some
breakfast and got over to the markets to drop off of the videos – –
I watched the second movie this morning. I had planned to go over to
a wood pallet To pick up a few pieces of what delighted used to brace
of my tomatoes. I was amazed at how little running around I did this
morning and had been treated by battery was. I got what I needed and
return home it is when my phone rang or vibrated. It showed a local
number but no name. That's even warning about for me not to take the
call but I did anyway and was mildly surprised to find it was Barbara
Toomer following up on her phone call earlier in the week. Happily
she did not bring up the obvious snub that I did not return her call
but she was following up just the same as I going to Washington?
After some minor chitchat
we got down to the bone to the call and I just told her I didn't see
how I could go without attendant care to not only assist me in
toileting but to get in and out bed or whatever. I was a bit let
downpretty much left that response go and suggested that I consider
the May action instead. I should try to get all my ducks in a row by
them. And I mildly surprised by some even further by asking her to
follow-up on a comment she made to find out how much It would cost or
what was available for home healthcare in the DC area, but I might go
if something was reasonable. Then I realized that would go if
something was available and reasonable. I don't know how I would get
in and out of bed or how I would toilet myself but maybe we can work
something out. Can't believe I'm thinking like this but who knows a
trip to Washington DC and all it might be fun.
