and now, the end is here...

This morning I was walking Eem-er through Nob Hill Park, "taking it back," or so the terminology goes..."use it or lose it." You know all the catchy phrases, right? But there were quite a few addicts right up on the knoll cooking up this morning...the most beautiful spot in the park, with the best views of the water and downtown. Of course that means the best views of any RCMP officers who may be coming to bust up the party, as well. It really ticks me off that when I am up early enough to be out there enjoying sunrise in the park, crackheads already have my viewing point...I admit it. It irks me. A lot. So, doing my part...making sure they know they've been seen, are being watched and acknowledged and all those things this neighbourhood has been told to do over and over again. Did it matter? Nope...except, they got so complacent that I was the only one making noise that they forgot to keep up a good watch...and just as I left the park in a big snit and a bad mood, RCMP Bike Patrol came zipping in on silent wheels... Thanks guys! Maybe I will go back and enjoy the view this afternoon...it is a beautifully crisp blue day...with snow in the weekend forecast. And today, as you know, is the end of one month of posting...NaBloPoMo. Whew. What a....hhhmmmnnn, after a month of daily posts, I can't think of the words...........

Gong Show, that's it! What a Gong Show.

I nearly gonged myself out a time or two just because I was sick of "listening" to myself whine. I did whine a bit, right? It was hard not to because the thing about posting every single day is this...I am not in a good mood every day. And this has been the most difficult couple of months living in what has proven to be a trying neighbourhood anyway. And it's not over. Not with a crackhouse operating just up the alley here on Milton Street.

It's the same old bad joke. Not that it's been all bad...we had the rally, the round up, the demise of Spanglish(finally), photo assignments(can I tell you all how much these mean to me? I love them!!!!!!), plenty of dog walks, and most important of all, Little Man is home, which is just exactly where he is supposed to be.

Wow, I just looked at all the good stuff that happened this month. What blessings. Truly. Maybe I should make a list at the end of every month, eh? Why was I so angry so much of the time? ***Note to self-Must remember to give more thanks.

So hey, I'm done. I made the 45 second mark(or, in this case, thirty posts) without a gong, though I bet Rex Reed would have gonged me, if he were reading along. So, Jaye P. Morgan, what's my score?

So, with that...I think I am taking tomorrow off...and maybe even the next day. See you all next week?!?

!!!!!!!!!!!GONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIP, Robert....you were a fun, crazy ride....what would the 70's have been without you?
