near record highs
Wish I had some more highs -- I'm outta pot, have been, actually, for years now. Were I Noncorean, I'd be pawning my stereo for the shit, but Trish & I are more responsible than that. Simply wish I could get it for medical reasons. Would also take away the need for Abilify; the mood-stabilizing properties/enhancement of creativity benefits of U-boat are tremendous. Farber will never rise from the dead until the source of inspiration has returned.
So yesterday the temperature was supposed to be in the mid-90s; mid 100s for today. Hot. Very hot. Upon completing a tale of duplicity & betrayal, I waited for Car-girl. Trish phoned home, to say she might be off early: Pizza Hut was having a very slow day. Car-girl called, I relayed the message, got to sit on the love seat a few extra minutes, that being the point closest to the bedroom a/c. Then Car-girl took us over to Pizza Hut to pick up Bumble Bee Girl. We stopped on the way home for bread & hot dog buns. Got some flaky kinds of whole grain stuff; no hot dog buns -- apparently, they had a run on them on the 4th.
So when Car-girl picked Trish up, following her shower (down in the basement), I accompanied her, to check out the a/c at Wally World. Trish got mad/paranoid once she saw everyone sitting in the donut shop, so we went next door to Kame-Apart, who were out of soft pretzels. Instead my Scooby snack consisted of a slice of really stale pizza.
We ate supper at El Taco Loco, where I had Crazy Nachos. Once home, I pretty much simply manned the phone -- Trish is avoiding Donna -- while Trish cleaned house. We also found a really big fan, & plugged it into the power strip, so now it's Super Kool down there, which is where I intend to spend a lot of time today -- not sure how much of Brad's story I'll read today. Also, am still debating whether or not I'll add a sex scene to my novel. I haven't really seen a lot of it in genre sword-&-sorcery, but I'm not really certain if it's "taboo".
Once I have this project sort of roughed out, I'll do an RFDR on it, & start work on Arn. When I was running the chapters one-by-one thru Critters awhile ago, it became apparent that the reason the SF fans didn't like it was that it contained "too many" hallucinations -- hence in the next draft, the sections will be framed with mental hospital sequences (& fuck I Ron Steele); & that it should deal less with religion, though I don't want to turn my characters into Laura Lemm clones: not everyone is a "straight Christian".
I'm also worried about Trish. She's been incredibly agitated & paranoid lately, & I don't know why. Hopefully, it won't be the Seroquel. I hate it when she's so wound up at night that she doesn't fall asleep until I nearly wake up. Since she was over-sedated, the pharmacist cut the pills in half, but then last nite she forgot if she took it.
Hopefully, Trish turning into Cranky Bear will turn out to be PMS. But I'm worried. She's mad at Donna, she's mad at Charlene Upstairs, she's mad at the whole world. I rescheduled my appointment with Joe until Monday, & hope that there'll be some benefit(s) to be gained there.
Also, today I woke up at 5:00. Which is a little bit better than 4:46. I'll give it until over the weekend, then see about stopping the Abilify. I think its stimulant effect is too great.
Well & I'm watering the lawn this morning. One hour on each section, then off once the backyard has been finished.
I hope we get our new a/c soon. It's only 6:35 AM & the temperature is already in the mid-70s.
