It's Halloween.

THE ROBBERY WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAY.

 It was one year ago today that one of my pigs died. 

IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO LAST MONDAY THAT I TURNED IN THE KEYS TO THE CONDO.

One of the most awful days of my life.

A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF THE UBER.

 It was the closest I’ve come to one in a long time. 

A GUY SAID TO ME "I LIKE YOUR SHIRT."

I had to look down to see which shirt I was wearing. 

I wore a shirt that looked like this yesterday. Unfortunately you don't get the guy with it: 

Some days I feel I should have an IV in my arm.

TALKED TO MOM

 Got in two days' worth of fitness walking. 

PICKED UP MY BALLOT

Didn't go to work at my second job.

Such a beautiful evening, too nice to go to work.

Didn't go to class.

RIP Conchata Ferrell

I haven't felt this way about a celebrity death in a while:

It never rains but it pours.

I FORGOT NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY.

But really, it is NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS if you are gay, straight, bi, trans etc. And NO ONE should be forced to come out, either.

BORING DAY

 And I have been working as usual without a break. I am yawning like a hippo: 

ONE METHOD OF SELF-CARE

 I watch videos. Some with no educational or cultural value. 

BROKE MY SHOE.

 Fell flat on my face. 

JOHN LENNON WOULD HAVE BEEN 80 YEARS OLD TODAY.

 Sometimes I think I would rather be dead at 40 like him but then I think of the things I MIGHT miss in the future.

"TOOK A BUS TO CHINATOWN..."

Actually it was an Uber. It should be re-named "Ghost Town." 

OH. MY SOUL!

The average American supposedly has a 64-hour weekend. Mine is 41. Maybe that's why my soul is tired? 

SPENT THE NIGHT AT D'S

He's lost about 35 lbs, he says from eating more vegetables, less greasy food and walking 5 miles/day.

AM I A BAD PERSON BECAUSE I FIND THIS FUNNY?

Less than a year ago marching bands were playing this song in the streets. Before a bunch of whiny liberals were convinced they'd die of the Coronavirus and spoiled everything.

I HEARD A RADIO SPOT ADVERTISING FREEZE-DRIED (OR WHATEVER) FOOD IN CASE OF A FOOD SHORTAGE

 Wondering if I should buy some. 

My landlady is out of town, at least til tomorrow, hopefully longer.

President Trump is back in the White House.

WORKED 12 HOURS YESTERDAY AND 17 HOURS SATURDAY

 Spent today "recovering." 

urbanexile@mail.com

IT DISGUSTS ME HOW LITTLE SOME REPORTERS KNOW ABOUT MEDICINE.

And how hateful people who have been screaming"love trumps hate" for the last three years can be. 

I don't know if I should even trust the very media for which I work.

BIG BOSS MAN

 

MY HAIR NEEDS COMBING.

 And washing. I look kind of like Proud Maisie. I wish.

"How consoling it is to know that we have a spirit, who from the womb to the tomb, never leaves us even for an instant, not even when we dare to sin. And this heavenly spirit guides and protects us like a friend, a brother."
~•~St. Padre Pio

Today is the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. As St. Jerome said "how great the dignity of the soul, since each one has from his birth an angel commissioned to guard it."

May we all remain close to our Guardian Angel, and invoke them often. pic.twitter.com/wfts06xgAN

I was hoping for a nice, quiet morning at work.

The president and first lady have both tested positive for Covid.

FULL MOON TONIGHT

 And I forgot Yom Kippur. 

I GET THE FEELING I CAN'T PLEASE ANYONE.

  Not my mom, my boss, my landlady or my teacher. 😠

HOW MUCH SHOULD SCIENCE/SCIENTISTS BE ALLOWED TO DO?

And what rights do "the rest of us" have?

 

TODAY IS THE FEAST OF THE ARCHANGELS:

Saints Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Archangels, pray for us!#Catholichttps://t.co/PJr5sF05C9

Today is the Feast of the Archangels. Raphael the healer; Michael the protector; Gabriel the messenger, the only angels to be mentioned by name in the Scriptures. Today is a reminder that God is our protector, our strength and our healer. #Feastday #Archangels #CatholicTwitter pic.twitter.com/o7hqbFDRSI

Holy Archangels, St. Michael. St. Gabriel. and St. Raphael, and all ye Angels of the Lord, intercede for us that we may share in thy burning zeal and glowing love. Help us to become worthy messengers and true servants of God to proclaim His holy will.

Amen. pic.twitter.com/5pUj72uOmV

I have met two people on my fitness walks--an unexpected benefit.

SOMETHING I'M FUCKING SICK OF HEARING

"We'll get through this." There is nothing to "get through." This is not a world war, this is not the Great Depression, this is not a polio epidemic of any of the great plagues. This is a purely political thing, man made. 

Uber fares seem to be lower.
