Scatter-ranting
8/21/07 - 3rd Day - After Breakfast. Well, I opened up the day with a rant against Fred Phelps on BA, and I don't see it getting any better. So this blog post may or may not include random rantings - also, my mind is a bit partly cloudy, so bear with me.
Comments on recovering from a Black Widow Spider bite:
One of the interesting "effects" on me of the bite is that I have shown some Alzheimers like symptoms over the last few days. This morning was the worse. I don't know what it feels like to have Alzheimers, but this morning I was unable to clear my thoughts for an hour or so. I was in this cloud and I knew I was in it, and I could not remember things that I had just thought only moments ago, and I was perfectly conscious of the fact that I could not remember them. Very frustrating. I was planning on giving Danielle the last of our money to make a supply trip to Santa Anna, and I was going through it in my mind laying out the money on the bed to make sure there was enough. She was eating cereal on the porch. I laid down a twenty for two bags of pig feed. Then I laid down $35 for two 5 gallon cans of gas. That left $30 for whatever things were on our list, and the rest for the gas tank in the truck. Easy. Then I looked down at the piles I had made, and I could not remember what they were for. I knew they were for Danielle going to town, and I knew what I was doing - but I could not remember what the individual stacks were for. Then, I had to sit there and laugh because I knew that I was forgetting and that my mind was cloudy. I had to work back through it. "What could I want Danielle to pick up that costs $20?". "What do we need that adds up to $35?". So I finally got that figured out and I walked out to our solar trailer to check the reading - and then I forgot why I was out there. I knew that I was forgetting things, and that my mind was obscured, so it is not like I was an old man standing on a street corner not knowing where I live. I just stood there and could not clear the fog enough to remember why I was there. It has gotten better as the morning has gone on.
What was I saying?
One of the other effects of the bite is that I can now climb walls and spin webs - which is nice.
Oh yeah, so again we are dead broke. My vehicles are all in need of repair. My computers are all down, with the exception of this one, which fails repeatedly because of a bad power connector. I still owe on those tickets and they'll probably send me to jail... but, look on the bright side...
The name of my favorite jazz artist in history (Bix Beiderbecke) sounds like BIG SPIDER BITE if you say it real slow.
Right now we are looking at mild temps (low 90's) for the next several days, followed by a general cooling trend into early Sept. Wow. I hope that holds up. Y'all still need to pray for rain for us. I couldn't afford to buy water.
Enough.

"Joel Osteen discontinued receiving his $200,000 salary from Lakewood Church in Houston after his first book, Your Best Life Now, sold more than 4 million copies. Some sources have reported he could earn up to $13 million on the contract for his second book. (RNS photo/courtesy of Lakewood Church)"I, personally, have also discontinued receiving my salary from (mind goes blank. cannot remember last salary. spider bite symptom) now that my book has sold more than (cannot remember how many hundreds) copies. My next book is expected to sell 10's of copies.
