‘Hood on the alert
Well Amigos we’ve got us some Big Excitement going on in the ‘Hood today, and I’m not just whistling Dixie. Very early this morning the old woman Slow got a text from one of the Little Women of Worsham Street (ex-officio since she moved across Highway 105 a good while back but we still count her). She was sounding the alarm about two fugitive bank robbers fleeing from the law around midnight last night here in Montgomery and spotted at the Valero station on the corner of Highways 105 and 109 this morning at 7 o’clock. The Valero store is right around the corner from Worsham Street.

As details become available, The Red Man will keep his cyberspace Sports Fans updated. In the meantime, Pretty just called and told Slow she’s had a Gigantic Storm in South Carolina with major disasters along Canterbury – but thankfully not at our Casa. It’s a world gone mad tonight.
Get me outta here Percy…I need a Big Dog Beverage to calm my nerves…

Be safe….hope all is well.

Oops! I forgot that little detail didn’t I. I’m feeling real sorry for myself tonight, Sheila…last night too, come to think of it. Over the last 3 weeks I’ve been poked and prodded and drained of precious blood. I’ve been to 3 specialists and endured countless blood tests, an endoscopy, and 2 CAT scans. The lead theory why I’m anemic and hypoglycemic is the gastric ulcer discovered during the endoscopy. It and a bit of small intestine are being biopsied. Results are expected next week. The doc is fairly sure I have it because of all the pain medicine I need for arthritis. So, for now I’m take large doses of Prilosec and no more naproxen. I have other pain meds, but they don’t relieve the inflammation like naproxen. I’m bent over and hobbling like I’m the 90 something year old. I’d be happy to team up with you in your Battle with Pain. Maybe the two of us can knock the bastard on his butt!!!
Sheila, your book is awesome good!!! I cried and laughed and nodded and said amen. We are all broken people, aren’t we? And that connects us, brings us into relationship as we share suffering and finding a way through it. How hard it must have been for you to keep your mother’s memories for her. I have more to say, but this very visual girl has to figure out the words yet. (And yes, as a former Catholic I can say, the music is awful!!! Boy do I have stories to tell. 🙂 )
Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts!
Hugs,
Ann

Gosh, Ann, I’m so sorry for your battles against Pain and all of his buddies, too. I always love it when I find the reason I feel so bad is the medicine I take for feeling so bad. Swell. Luckily, there is wonderful medicine for the ulcer you have from the pain meds for arthritis. Plus, you can still eat ice cream whenever you feel like it. I have also had an ulcer from my shingles pain meds but you will feel better when you get different meds. I truly hope the biopsies are just pro forma for your doctors.
Please keep me posted…I mean it. I have thought about you and Poppy and the many visits to the Medicine Men. Sometimes I wish I had a Native American guy who could wave a stick in my direction and make me feel better. But alas, I think they may be out of the business. Magic wands appear to be in short supply, too. At any rate, please know that The Red Man and his pack at Worsham and Casa de Canterbury are sending good thoughts your way.
So happy you appreciate my book. Truly. I hope your ex-Catholic self hasn’t left any free-floating guilt around the house. 🙂
Take care,
Sheila

Now, see…this is why I found the quietest beach in the quietest country, in the sleepiest area of the world. My aunt was so freaked out, knows nothing of Central America. Insisted I would be machine-gunned by a banadana-faced revolutionary. While I was visiting her in her small town, a 76 year-old woman was knifed in the stomach coming home from the store, a wife shot her husband over some uncalled for sharing of his privates, and then…an eight year-old boy shot a girl in his class in the stomach with his father’s handgun, at a school two blocks away. Cops racing all over this small town…ambulances picking up the spare parts…helicoptors flying overhead for the school shooting story. I just stared her down…no words necessary about whose life was in danger. All her dogs are ankle-biters, so they’re no help. Cats dance on her fence, swing from her gutters, all with no pussy control pups to get the situation in hand. This is getting too long…

Well, I see the visit with YOUR aunt went well. Holy moly and shit house mouse. Your aunt must live in fear for her life. Be careful about your Costa Rica superlatives with her, though. You may find her and her ankle-biters moving to Costa Rica and how do you think The Philosopher Red would feel about having her in the ghost hotel? Just wondering…

No, yes, definitely, and never will I see my aunt in the deadly jungles of Central America. She’s a Washington webfoot, and it would take her away from her police scanner.
