Alcoholism Update
It’s really sad that this series of entries is called ‘Alcoholism.’ Maybe I’ll change them later.
Today: I woke up, drank some coffee, did some stuff while waiting for the ex-housemate to call. He called and said he was waiting for a guy to show up to show him an apartment, which I took as a good sign.
I went out to make some more coffee, and my back went out. So by the time he called again, the large dose of ibuprophen hadn’t yet quite kicked in, and I had to cancel on him.
Today’s been a day of sitting in bed, occassionally popping more pain killers, and watching lots of Popeye cartoons. A few days back I rented the recent Popeye Vol. 1, 1933-1938 DVD set. I’ve seen such brutality today, all day long…
The ex-housemate had to drop by, though because he had left his blood pressure medication in the suitcase in the car. And that’s how it goes.

I’m sorry your back went out–I know how debilitating back pain can be. And I am hearing how heavy your heart is right now, too. Remember Bob Smith, the Frugal Gourmet? He used to sign off his shows by saying “I bid you peace”. Well Homer, I bid you peace.
sad and tragic…
No good deed goes unpunished.
But hey… Popeye!
Sorry to hear about the back. Bet that could make you cranky. How’s Olive?
Man. Back pain sucks. I, too, wish you a day of peace. Emotionally and physically. Rest up, m’dear.
