countdown to surgery. 1:30 tomorrow. last night i had company. no, not with me, (get your mind out of my back seat lol) but in the lot i park in. a u-haul pulled in, the guy took a blankie out of the back, and proceeded to cop 8 hrs sleep in the front seat. i may just try that instead of messing with the cramped back seat and the mess of blankets.

i woke up oddly enough, not needing to urinate. when i got out of the car, i found out why. due to the necessity of being near a restroom, i have not been drinking enough water, so my urine is highly concentrated, which can also mean renal failure if left unchecked. i knew that was it from the pain in my lower back, and the color of the urine when i did go. what else do i need to have go wrong? nothing, but it will. deaths and disasters always come in 3's don't they?

i have 2 of those long body pillows in the car, and i have found they are quite nice for two purposes. if i stuff one in the back window, not only does it provide privacy from the rear but also holds back the cold radiating from the windshield. the other one i wedge behind my air mattress and it provides the same function for the left side windows. i use other things to block other windows, an create my own lil hell on wheels.

this is sunday, my food stamps kick in tomorrow, yay me!! not that i can chew anything solid yet, but still...

i found this in my mail today. Time exists so that everything doesn't happen at once.
Space exists so that everything doesn't happen to you.
what does that say about my current condition? i'll have to examine that question.

and with that, i'm going to post this and go try to line up some things.
