blood is the rose of mysterious hi-pressure
...& the gang lies down on Broadway -- there is no Broadway in Invisible City, nor is there one in the City of Electric Light. Many night-satin wenches work the bars here, instead.
We don't even have a Kool Gang here.
Aside from that, yesterday morning when I checked the email, I found an "old manuscript" subject-lined piece of shit masquerading as a critique coming from some boy-chick, Chris Cooper, who "normally reads fantasy" & apparently flunked high school science. I skimmed the first paragraph, came to the line, "This is the worst kind of B-grade television sci-fi," so I complained to aburt, then deleted the file.
I called Car-girl, & being disturbed about the insults, she suggested trying something else, so I worked on my painting, "City of Dragons". I inked the pencil art.
Around noon, I walked over to Dawn's Drugs, just a block from Dawn's Highway, & picked up my Lunesta. On the way out, I stopped at the blood pressure cuff.
Sky-hi.
Dominique wanted to call an ambulance.
I finally decided to return home, so she walked me home, worried I might conk out any minute. I tried to relax, listening to music in the Captain's chair, but then felt some chest pains, so the nurse at the ER asked me to come in.
Car-girl came tooling around the corner shortly thereafter; got me there like a Rocket-woman. She agreed to pick up Trish while they put me on oxygen, started an IV, x-rayed my chest, gave me an EKG, & did some lab work.
I don't have heart disease. But I do need blood pressure pills.
I left the ER about the time Car-girl brought Trish up. She was changing in the bathroom when I walked out, so I waited around.
We went over to the Clinic for Trish's appointment with the foot doctor. He x-rayed her ankles, which have been hurting her, & concluded it's arthritis.
When we arrived at our house, after picking the stuff up at the drugstore, we ate the rest of the tuna casserole, some chips & dip, then over to Albertson's, to pick up $30 of groceries.
Trish did the dishes & made quesadillas. We watched a documentary about Star Wars on the History Channel, then went to bed around 10:00. Although I did wake up once, to go to the bathroom, I fell back asleep until 6:00.
The surgery is today. Right now, I'm feeling pretty hungry & thirsty. I'll be glad when this is over with.
