Yesterday was spent reminiscing about my sister, her life and her death. She was a woman of extremes, at times generous to a fault and other times raging, Even she believed she had two personalities; I believe we all do. I recall the 4:00a.m. telephone call that woke me and her husband Eli telling me of her death; the feeling of unreality, fear and sadness. She wasn't buried until sometime in January. There was an autopsy to rule out foul play. Her husband was black and was definately a suspect. In all fairness the authorities investigating didn't know Eli, if they had they would have know what everyone was aware of who knew Peggy and Eli. If anyone in that relationship was capable of murder it was Peggy not Eli. Peggy's rage was well known by all who really knew her. Eli died 2 years ago, he died still loving Peggy.
Today is cold and blustery, whoa, how is that for getting off topic. Yet I need to get off topic. Peggy is gone and my grief and sadness is personal. Today is about my life and things I need to do to look after myself. For instance I still don't have my flu shot. I stopped into the drug store in the village where I now live, that is a whole other days story, and was told if I go to the clinic next Tuesday I will get my shot there. I have had the flu shot every year for so long now, yet I have reservations, there is a part of me that doesn't like shots. Not that I really dislike needles but I don't like the idea of adding foreign materials to my body, an idea that is ridulous when you consider that I smoke again and that I drank and used other drugs to excess for many years. Whatever, I will get the flu shot and stop the argument in my own head. I have decided that I will end every blog with at least one thing that I am grafefull for. Today I am gratefull to Bill Gates or whoever created the computer. It gives me much pleasure, it keeps me instant touch with family and friends, it turns days that seem empty into fun when I play games. It allows me to tell me my feelings to those I love even at 4:00a.m. if I can't sleep. Thank you computer creators.
