But For How Long (POEM)

But For How Long
David S. Nicholson
Feb 7, 2015

 Long and twisted desert road.
Faded photo with burned edges.
Clown that smiles and cries inside.
Voice screaming, fractured and tormented.
Desire to be happy and the reality creeping in.
Pain of the flesh hides the pain inside.
Distant memories so like yesterday.
Waters run for wild to calm.
The sun warms my face.
Flowers, not sand beside me.
Happy once again, but for how long?

July 11, 2022 - My Day in Photos

Image
Had a shower in my ancient bath tub. I have a clear shower curtain, as the light in the shower is not great with a normal non-see-through curtain. Noticed how many crumbs have gotten into my cup holder on my easy chair. Needed to wash it out. Don't want it crunching as I get my glass of whiskey out of the holder now do I? Eat a batch of curried veggies and loved it. This came from Amazon and DANG is it tasty coffee. Need to change my sponge. Need to wash my stove. Need to clean my kettle.

OneDrive is Toast AGAIN

Image
 Well... OneDrive is messed up yet again. Every time I turn on the PC it does the processing changes ting for 2 hours, then fails to download any of the stuff I've sent to the cloud in the last 3 days. I was downloading it in the browser from the OneDrive site, but not it is NOT downloading either. The photos I have to view in the browser then right click and save them, then put them in their folder. This is a pain in the butt, as I use it daily for tossing files to other devices. Now it won't download anything from the past 3 days on any device. What a pain in the butt this is becoming. I see other people have the issue as well, and are complaining on Twitter. No replies from the OneDrive account on there of course. Being that close to a billion people use this service, you think more people would be complaining, but only a handful are. Would be nice if they fixed their dang shit soon. Switching to Google Drive would be massively expensive being how mush storage I am using. I

What A Noisy Day

Image
 Well it was an annoying day yesterday (July 11, 2022). First it was the garbage trucks at 7am emptying 2 dumpsters outside. Then it was a woman blowing her horn for 15 or 20 minutes to try and get her son to come to the car. Thing is, her son is in the same apartment with her, so WTF is with this. Next we had the recycling dumpster emptied. Followed by a guy down the hall literally pounding on the door of another resident and yelling to get his attention. Seems this guy has no concept that it takes about a minute for a disabled person to get to the dang door, not to mention any common curtesy for the rest of the people on the floor. Followed by the same person blowing their horn again for 15 minutes in the parking lot for the same reason. This time a bunch of people yelling out the window to "STFU" and so on. The son came out and was told off from a window and did not like it. Entitled twats don't tend to like to be told they are disturbing the entire population of the b

Last Week in 4 Photos

Went to the hospital with pain I was unable to tolerate. I am very hard to get blood out of, so they take it from my hand as the arms are next to impossible. I seem to always have a bruise on my hand after they draw blood. They shot me up with a pain med I'd never heard of and I forget it's name. They then gave me a muscle relaxant and waited to see what happens. I knew there was a cyst on my right kidney and I thought it was that acting up but the doctor was certain it was a muscle. I found out the cyst is 5cm (1.9 inches) in size. That's kind of big. I thought it was smaller then that. The pain meds made it tolerable and I went home to sleep. I went to Rexall the next day to get the pain meds and they where not covered and I was full on not going to give them $58 and change for 5 days of pain meds, so I skipped it. 2 days later the pain was almost gone, so I'm glad I did not waste money on the medication. Been not feeling well this last while and music and a good cup
