Washington In September?

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.
