5-28-09 – amy… so there was a double murder here yesterday and Jess/Hom had another “i’m in an alien land” experience *wry grin*
so there was a double murder here yesterday. it was a local guy our girls’ age who killed his pregnant girfriend – who was from the city i guess cause nobody knew her evidently. all the talk was about him anyways that’s all i know
and, this being a small town, like everybody either knew the guy who did it – whether they hung out together in high school or years since or not - or knew of him. not that long ago in fact, one of our family members took him home from a party cause he was drunk and they wouldnt let him drive.
anyway course i knew when the manhunt was going on cause just as i heard the helicoptors near my house, I got a call from _______, who lives in the next neighborhood, screaming into the phone that police coptors were all over the top of her house as she got home, so she ran in and turned on the tv – and saw this person flashed on the screen that the whole town here knows and the reporter talking about the double murder and manhunt going on in our area – which happened to be like right on top of HER house.
so she totally wigged out, called here and was screaming what do I do what do I do cause she had a little kid with her. I couldn’t even think so told ok hold on and John would be there in a minute, and she was like what good is that gonna do? and I was like um well I donno – he’s JOHN (like he can take care of everything or somehing – kinda funny in retrospect)
anyway so what she did was kept me on the phone, grabbed the kid, and ran out thru the garage door and jumped in her truck and took off over here. just as she got here, it was flashing on the news that they’d just found his body – in the trees behind her house. he had killed himself.

k this is the plains – no place to run, no place to hide. there’s like treees in the neighbors and along creekbeds – but thats pretty much it here except for the occasional tree or few along roads or in fields. and I remembered back several years ago when that truckload of illegal aliens got stopped by feds on the interstate just outside the far end of our neighborhood – and they jumped outta the truck, attacking and overtaking some of the cops – and then all took off – into OUR neighborhood and the one next to it. and for hours, our very neighborhood was on CNN and all them big news networks while the manhunt went on cause they’d hurt a couple them cops real bad.
and there was coptors and cops everywhere flying just over the housetops and stuff, and they was telling people on tv and stuff to get in our houses, get all our pets in the house too cause these people were jumping fences and trying to hide in our back buildings and pool houses and stuff and get in to houses. oh and there was police dogs everywhere and all the dogs in the neighborhood, including ours was just going nuts. and it ws really terrifying
i think ____ lived here at the time but was at work and John was too or somewhere or something and we was alone.
since there literally really aint no place to run or hide out here – unless your able to invade somebody’s house or something – and then the cops got you cornered anyways, about half them aliens ended up just standing on a street corner waiting for a cop to drive by and go ahead and arrest them afer realizing there wasnt no place to hide and they couldn’t even get a drink of water or nothing.
anyway i remember somebody here writing the list about it back before the online attack started against us and they punished us/”got” us by highjackiing the list – and traumatizing so many innocent people just to hurt us.
anyway i remember somebody here wrote the list that there was aliens everywhere and we was scared and how whoever here forgot to put in the note “illegal aliens” – and our friends laughed at us forever about the “alien invasion” we had. it was funny tho. good memory
anyway random
anyway so I was thinking and thinking, and i believe the last murders around here was like 15-20 years ago when ______’s sister and kids was murdered by her ex.
*
sooooooooo (sheesh can anybody here get to the point anymore?)
Jess comes home from work later yesterday and was all talking about how all she heard all day was about the murders and could you believe it?!?!?! and could you believe who did it?!?!?!?!
customers and just everybody was talking about nothing else, and she said it was kinda overwhelming cause she was like did EVERYBODY know this dude?
and I told her yeah that like never happens here and its been about 20 years since the last murders and probly 7-8 since the “alien invasion”
and how I’d been thinking about her and kinda laughing cause i figured she was there at work listening to all this goings on about it all and thinking so? since she’s from new york and all. and she laughed her head off and was like yeah exactly!
she said for a while she started getting kinda sucked in to the drama and then reminded herself where she was from, and that people get murdered and stuff daily there, and then had to struggle to keep from morbidly laughing about how this event was sooooooooooooo major here that that’s all anybody and everybody could talk about all day.
i’ll never forget that - poor Jess/hom yet again getting slapped upside the head feeling like an alien in an alien land. its a tragic situation yeah but her reaction was morbidly funny

5-26-09 – Drake… that’s the damn truth
It is the storm within that endangers, not the storm without. …Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
5-25-09 – Drake… wouldn’t this be nice?
sometiems i feel convinced we’re going to die still craving to just be accepted by all those we love so much.
5-18-09 – somebody. we’ll say sharon since she’s the only mom left tho we all grief. yeah we’re nuts. nuttier than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day our son was born. and died. actually Chris’ birthday is the 20th but we were in labor all day on the 19th and he was born right after midnight so to us the 19th is the day. that’s why Sharon’s 19 altho she’s always said she’s 20. well we almost were. our birthday is in a few days. our beloved baby had nothing in his throat. nothing. no esophagus. no trachea. he lived until the placenta separated with the docs desperately trying to figure out a way to save his life. he was conscious. when his life support – us – separated from our body, our belovd baby son strangled to death. conscious. god
5-16-09 – Drake… they shoot horses, dont they?
the pain today is unbearable. aside from our regular usual pain that we’re on kill an elephant-sized meds for, including a fuckng opium patch, the back of our head at the cerebellum region, our back and our llegs are on fire today. fire. like literally you could look down and see fucking flames. the agony is indescribable.
and thats with the opium pain patch dose increased several weeks ago. oh and the xanax doubled – we’re now on bars.
i didn’t even know xanax came in fucking bars. the hyper doses of xanax are partly to help our increasing probs with anxiety, spells of confusion and irrationality and hysteria as our mind/memory goes due to disease progression and neurologic hits from all those fucking surgeries and the cachexia and god only knows what else – and still having enough brain left to know we’re losing it (yeah that sucks ass for real). and its partly because xanax boosts some of the pain meds we’re chronically on. so xanax bars it is. fuck maybe i’ll take another. like what would it do to me? really?
i know some of the overwhelmind physical miserty today is the weather too. in spring and fall here when it rains so much (the rest of the year, our region is semi-arid), the mold count kills us pain-wise. also our damn stomach and colon which have been through so much and are so dramatically infected with our disease are working in perfect tandem to fuck us up and make every moment of our life one of misery.
we may have to go to specialists again and shit and see if there’s anything left that can be done but we know we could end up on bags – and that falls under our DNI papers. in other words, we’re not fucking doing that.
So we get told how dying in either of those ways is an horrific way to die. thanks. really. fucking sigh
i know they mean well. they want us as comfortable as possible in this end-stage, but we drew our line in the sand like we’ve had to do in other situations in our life before – NO intubation. we’re not backing off it. not. if God decides to be merciful He’ll spare us either of thsoe particularly gruesome deaths
also its three days now to our son’s death day. actually we were very sane last year. i think we were too sick to be too nutty. and we’ve been very sane for us in this time this year. until today. today I think a straight jacket might be in order.
if we had knock us out pills, we’d fucking take them. oh we have plenty of kill us pills by just taking a liiiittttttle too much. but no knock out pills. Sometimes our aversion and fear of meds sucks ass. this is one of those days. I’d give anything for a damn pill that’d knock me the fuck out today. and tomorrow. and the next day.
and then there’s the element of this morning’s melt-down over findign the back door not only NOT locked last night, but not even closed good. dude. the shadow people came in on us in thenight and took us through unlocked/open doors and windows. and i’m not revealing any new secret in saying it – that was taken care of a long time ago. fuckiing sigh
so the morning melt-down over that sucked what was left of our strenght – and we’ve already been on a walker mostly for days even around the house and essentially bedfast. and sleeping all the time.
what?!?! dude we have life-long sleep deprivation! what the fuck is up with the sleeping all thetime now? hell the other day we fell asleep during a hand of cards! and that’s just one example. oh my god. seriously.
the hom enurse says our body is essentially kinda inwig-out mode and thinks that sleep will “heal” us or some shit. i’m not sure that made sense. anyway evidently our body is tryng to make us better by knocking us whenever it damn well pleases. nice. actually now would b a good time for oneof those spells
oh yeah and so also tonight is a memory night. we have got to go. there is no out, no question about it. it doesnt matter one fuck how we feel or if we’re able. we absolutely will NOT miss ANY chances to make a memory with our loved ones with the time we have left.
did i mention our severe hypoglycemia we’ve ehad since we were like 20 or someting is kicking our ass? yeah that’s fun too.
ok i’m donewhining like a girl. i alreadycried like one today. figured i might as well whine like one for a while too.
at least i’mholding thefront so girls dont have to. I’ve been knocking myself out to hold the front as much as possible especiallys ince the last system colapse a month or two or whatever that was. the few of us that were left only some of us have made it back at least pretty functional and the rest are either still out or not able to front much so we’re like half down from what we had left.
ok i’m really done now. havent eaten a bite tdaoy and the inside shakes just hit. that gives us anywhere from like now to maybe 30 minutes to get food in us before we go down or pass out or whatever it is we’re doing.
are you passed out essentially if you cant talk or move? gawd i wish we had died this last time when we were supposed to. miracle my ass. now all we are is a progressing mess and burden on the two angels fromGod taking care of us.
i keep tellng myself, we all do thats left, that if our loved ones remember more good than bad about us after we’re gone then this hellish battle to live longer for them will be worth it.
oh yeah i listened to my music for hours today. damn but i’m a fucking depressing person to listen to his musci. in fact i changed all the descriptions on every one of my playlists to “they shoot horses don’t they” (if that makes no sense, look up the movie of the same name’s description) ok than was random. out
shoot me (homage to our sweet Kelli)
