To infinity and beyond (Sorry Buzz)

I got my Risperadol Consta shot at my pdoc appointment yesterday. I feel better but a little "jumpy." It will go away. I asked my pdoc about that new shot that's out. I forgot the name. It is taken administered once a month. He said it won't be out until next year. I told him I wanted in on it. He also said that if it didn't work for me then we will go back to the bi-weekly Risperadol Consta.

I woke today to Eric Clapton singing Layla. The verse "you got me on my knees Layla" is repeating. I must have heard that about 150 times already. (I really wasn't counting)

Did someone mention pumpkins? Oh maybe not. Well since I brought up the subject, I am carving a fake pumpkin for my granddaughter. I cut her name in it yesterday. I'm gonna put a crescent moon and two or three stars and a bat (Margaret drew the bat) on it.

I cleaned the rocks in the big fish tank. What a chore that was. I also took care of the dead erchen and crab. Hopefully today we will take a water sample to have it tested. There's a pet store here that does it for free. I hate going there, the sales people are really "crabby."

I now have two major projects going. I am multitasking again (I mean always). I would like to say I can't help it, in reality I can help it. One of the projects is, I'm writing down memories. I've written quite a bit. I have a fear I will forget alot of it, and in fact I have some "holes" in there now. I can't say what the other is.

WOW! That helped my "jumpiness." Is that a word? 

Here are 2 poems I wrote recently that I'd like to share.

8/11/2009 "I looked up"

I look to the sky

not knowing why

there's impending dread

as hold my head

How often I hear

when the voices are here

viving to be

the only one for me

the echoes that ring

don't mean anything

I wondered why

its in the sky

8/12/2009 "voices of the sky"

Voices may come

voices may go

never quite knowing

the where and the why

they all are showing

if only the world could see

the way they wreak havoc

on any given day

you can listen

or maybe not

don't despair

or give up hope

that can't control

unless they have rope

to cling too close

I'm off to work on one of the projects.

Take care until we meet again,

Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,

Dave
