Drago's Adventures at the Vet Home

 

Day one arrived about 1030 in morning and started in here. After answering several pages of questions.  I found that the pee testing was also a requirement. Thus the body and their time did not agree. So I was put in a waiting area. That turned out to be the common seating area and where now the chairs have been removed and the sleeping cots set.

Meals I have found are 730, 1200, 17oo you stand in line and sign a roster.  Pick and choose food then sit eat throw away plate and return to what you were doing. For me it was sitting in the common area most of the day.

Showers are mandatory for cot allowance it seems.  Simple folding metal cots with a grey plastic covered 3-inch mattress.  In addition, a sheet and blanket are given out as the settings for them are done.  My pillow is my highway coat and liner stuffed in my hooded pullover.

Perhaps on the morrow I will be told more of how things are to progress. If one leaves they must sign out. Then back in when returns. Must be back by 2300, will find out if that is when things close down then.

I also have been told that when the medical clears you and a bed is available up stairs you are moved from common room to a 6 or 8 person room.

Showers to use right now are on the 2nd floor. Know nothing of the third at this time. You are given a simple shower kit. Moreover, right now no big towels are viable so got two what I would call dishtowels and two hand cloths to assist and dry with.  Currently they hang off the edge of the cot to dry overnight.

This eve in the common, area is a big TV it is ran with a vote with what is watched.  So far this eve true grit and a dvd movie that stuck in mid play so now we have the basketball game weeeeeeeeeeee.

Everything here is sign in sign that and if one messes up he sheet we have to refill out and resign allover that just happened with the cot list. Is first in line get the metal cot and mattress.  When those dozen are gone then mattress on floor is what is left.

I have reshuffled the bag contents. Now all the clothing and black bag of stuff is in the new brown bag that found this winter on a trip to the market in Dec it still had the red holiday bow on it when I found it.  New still folded up and ready to be given.  The back pack has the rest of things. Like meds laptop camera and other things that are small and easy carried. Been told where to store the clothing bag in a hallway with the other ‘common roomers’.  If important then keep with you hence why the shuffle to ensure if something goes it is clothing and not the other things.

So far some seem friendly. I have already been tagged with it is the Viking by the director here.  In addition, by one of the staff Hercules when I helped move the benches out of the common area so cots could go in.  Because I picked up the metal one in the center by self and moved them.

The outlets are limited, also in demand. Many here have some sort of cell phone that needs charged.  I was quick enough to get near one so could pug the laptop in to type this eve. Moreover, seemed to upset someone else that had sighted and planned to be where I currently am.  Nevertheless, was doing other things when the chair to cot common area shuffle started.

There are two resident dogs here an older white muzzled black lab, which has been dubbed ‘Sarge’.  The other is a cinnamon Shepard dubbed ‘Major”.  Very friendly and tolerates many things I see throughout the day.

I figure that after the 1700 meal I will sign up for shower and get it out of the way. Will at that time change into the track paints I have brought to sleep within.

A 1930 bible class in the mess hall was also called for those whom wanted.  Not mandatory that is good.

Oh desert has been called must go see.  To put that into perspective.  It is now 2157 and a lemon crumb like square just was consumed.  Lunch was two hot dogs with a bean mix and French fries.  Eve meal was meatloaf, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes with gravy.  Hell this is more than I have been eating per day at where I just came from for several months.  I did have one last pkg of the Italian sausage I have grown to enjoy before I left this morning as well.

All the items that were walked away from were stacked in a neat and orderly way in the room I was within. I do not know what or how he is to react nor do with them. After two weeks I have had no place to be. This place was the last resort for me to be at.

 

It did bother me that within he questions the drinking was repetitively brought up and hashed about.  How long did I, how long have I not, And other questions of it.

AN Hour left till pill time and their sign in dead line. Then I will find of what happens then.  I will see if I can do this each eve, the next step is finding a hot spot or open wireless system to get things going in that area as well.

With fewer today of attendance. As well as many of the one's yesterday. The only line was again as the vultures circled upon the give me stuff. Seeing the same ones there over and over makes one wonder of things. One where do they put it all and how many of one thing does one need. There is only so many tolietries one needs in only certain amounts why the over and over collecting of them I do not understand.

 

Storms on the way as well me head tells me. Broke last pair of glasses yesterday as well. So now the light will be a bother when I go forth outside once again. Also learned one of the meds I take enhances the photosentivity. This will be not a good thing. Already have started sneezeing to light to day.

This day also brought prayer to the meals so far. Well once again subjected to beilefs not followed.

 

Messages done and things left in places so doing well it seems on that idea.

 

Still have not faced Isabell's message. And more bad and questions of Dad's health as well waiting for answers from mom.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well I have hurt all day. Broke last pair of dark lenz and now I have to live with the bright day star hurting the eyes. I even found that one of the pills that I take also excel the photosensitive.

 

Redid the find which picture that goes with what item I have in the locker this after noon. One small pile left to do so with. Then on to featureing and setting which are avaiable once again.

 

Will see what I can do on the morrow.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well today the eyes were dealt with. After reading the letters on the wall and looking through the lens thingy. The conclusion was: 20/25  20/30  which is from 20/10   20/15 last time checked so many years ago first out upon the world. Then the fun begin with dye drops bright lights and dilation drops and brighter lights. Then retina pictures with really bright flashes. Hard not to sneeze when happening but was successful.

 

Then for hours afterwards. Lights were over blurred and a fog like haze was most of the day. Just now at 1900 is the focus almost normal. Reading could not be done. And depth perception was flawed. The appointment was at 0900 got out of there about 1100. So you figure out how sight was most of the day.

 

Head pounds for the light that pounded sight and forth of those machines. But better. Also glasses are not required. But with a very minor prescription I am to get Tinted lenses in a month hence they reconcile the photosensitive to light and have allowed me once a year a pair of glasses. They are to be the darkest tint #3. Metal frames. The Lady picked them for me after she had me try three types on and chose the best looking upon me.

 

MRS and Dentist on the morrow.

 

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Today brought the AUG buss pass to get around and the telling of setting up an appointment to judge my job skills. TO me that means they are to ask of what I know to do and things like that. Most likely it will be testing and baqsic placement level style items, seems they like doing that.

 

Bent out of shape at the center because of the childish immature and over you mindless of one in charge towards me. This is the nice of me typing these words of this.

 

The Dentist trip was a quick one with just a small filling put in. And upon the 12th of Sept I start again with them again after the break period. Told it takes two weeks ot make up the parts that will be needed for the 'hole' and the front tooth. This will be interesting.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well pictures are featured. Now is to ensure well and correct words and things under them. Also to finish the bag of stuff. After finding I lost the MayFaire made item photos. As well as checking stone on forks and sppons and hair stick to ensure correct ones.

 

Weeeeeee brain is mush but hope will be better after sleep.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well yesterday was long hot muggy hot humid hot harsh glaring light hot and interesting. Did I mention it was hot? When on a 'job' of passing out flyers at a voting site for the Candidates of Southfeild City council. It wqas a long day standing out in the parking lot and as people drove in passed out to flyers for the two that are helping the Vet Center.

 

I still have the talent of voice as well it seems. One other Candidate came and stood with me and talked of things in general. Then it lead to advertiszeing which lead to me putting forth some of the knowledge I had on the subject of what was done for shows and things. These she liked enjoy to want to emply upon hers. I was instructed not to tell anyone else of these ways. I told her I would not but she had to come visit me at the Center. Hence I 'blackmailed' A City Couinclwoman with for my silence she must visit, if she does nto then I tell things.  I still can make things intresting.

 

Got some more pictures done and will be getting them up and running as well when I get to them.

 

Today is rain attempting  cooler but still bright haze light hurts eyes. Seems they hurt more after the eye doctor put drops in them during exam.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

A week past and things are moving. Got into the Pagan Pride event on the 13th. Working on biz plan by having someoen read over it and let me know how to fix or think of it.

 

But the year of screwed is not over yet either. Dad has entered in Cemo for cancer. That is the simple statement of thing.

 

Another Family Friend has died as well.

 

Waiting to hear of paperwork for things still. dentist 12th of Sept, glasses first of Sept, appointment with an employment Vet service on Monday. And waiting on things to come into being with all that have filled out and signed.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Dad is doing as good as Dad can do with cemo

 

Got to show was smaller then I thought it would be not much doing on the table as far as going to happy homes.

 

Tired not well and jsut checking in to messages/.

 

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well made the appointment this morning. Filled out a pile of paperwork and have another next Monday at 10 am as well.

 

Got a letter this morning telling me of an appointment I was to have LAST Friday. Called places and got ti for Wed 10 am this week. The first response was that I had to wait for another letter and next week. Instead just a call or three and this week instead.

 

Again was forced to sit to listen to "God' this and 'God' that walked out and irritated one of the staff after stating why I was going and they still had to have me explain it three different ways to understand.

 

Have a Job Fair in the area on the morrow and will see if can get to it easy on foot.

 

Will return soon to center and read book till meal then will see if once again forage out and annoy the internet.

 

 

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well after the appointment on Wed I now have to be assessed next week tues.wed.Thursday. Appointment as well came in for next Friday for Medical also. A full week of appointments it seems.

 

Seems getting out and doing things will have to wait till after those times. Also as long as head is good {yesterday it was not} things will be fine to go things once again.

 

So far I have not gone nuts but it is getting closer. From being  'put in my place' and the below hum,an level I have been treated with this week I am still going.

 

Dad is using a walking stick to move around, buffy to be upont he Flat road with Uncle Gene.  Cori packing for school.

 

Was able to send out a box to Powder Monkey should have been there Wed no sounds nor knowledge of it form that area. Guess that is the normal. Silence dealt with the one out of sight out of mind simple to forget of that way.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well another weekend down and I am not very happy with the new room person assigned to the room.

 

Friday night/sat morning 0030 or so he came in and flashed the light on waking the room and at the same time was agureing with the security guard for over 20 minutes.

 

Then Sat morning we found he had reached over to another person's bunk and took their blanket to wrap himself up in and sleep with.

 

Not happy of these events will see what is happening of this on the Morrow. Rumor is he will be asked to say sorry for doing so that will not carry far with me.

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

Well this morning was taken over by the fill the paperwork out department it seems. Answering many of the same questions over once again. Six pages worth of them.

 

As well when did the manager session this morning the events of this weekend were laugh at by them which did not set well with me.

 

As well the assessing of my work 'skills' has been changed from 10-3 to 12-4 now. According to the telling of things this day. No letter of notification arrived yet either as was told would be so. Will see what the next three weeks bring as well for this is a four week assessment of this ideas.
