On a Scale of One To Ten

Do decimels count? Exponentials? Remember this crazy dude, I'll surely only get crazier as I age. And I'm doing that fast. Got some catchin' up to do. The soap opera around me grows ever more bizarre. And worrisome. And I don't mean me. I spent the night over a cousin's house. Didn't realize the mistake till too late. It's hard to be pleasant company when you feel withered and adrift. Read a complete book last night, then two children's books. Well, at least I read the pictures. My doctor told me don't buy any green bananas. Cardiologist not so subtle, but I got a sense of humor. I love to spar mentally with those who take me for as dumb as I act. Usually they don't even know it. I'm likely the only person in the world with a giant console organ in the middle of his tiny kitchen....barely open the refrigerator... whose 7 watt bulb is brighter than me often. Rosie worried, knew not what happened to me. My troubles pale next to hers. I don't know how she deals with it all. Vicodins, aspirins, voodoo spells all as useless as M&M's to a diabetic. Pain relief or sleep? I chose pain relief, then realized if I was asleep, I would't be aware of pain. Now I know a few things I never had to ponder. Someday all will be sunny again...or not, I haven't a clue. Enjoy your turkey sandwiches. tom
