Mjshroomer's Horrible Weekend Nightmare

[boomer2]

Another Tale of the Shroom

I have just gone through the worst weekend of my life.

I was robbed twice since Friday.


Friday morning I got up and turned on my computer.  After a half an hour of editing digital images from my new camera and from the old one and cd-images from last summer, the thing crashed.  First time my computer ever crashed in 9 years, at least really went off with a black screen and cursor.  When I was able to get it up and running, I lost all of my bookmarks on the Mozilla Browser.


The Windows XP Home edition automatically sent reports to Microsoft, but the bookmarks disappeared completely.  I lost a lot of site info and data for several papers I am in the process of writing.  Then I took a shower and when I came out, I had a horrible face rash that was eating my skin all along my hairlines and on my face.  See attached image.  One of a few I am going to post about this horrible weekend.  I called b my doctor and got an appointment for 11 am on Saturday morn.

Okay, then I went shopping with my friend Grant.  He came form the north of the city to take me grocery shopping.  Then I accidentally left my groceries in his car, in the back of his jeep. He went to Olympia.  I called on his cell phone and he was not available and did not respond.. Called him about six times during the day and a few in the evening and could not reach him.  And I was hungry.

 

Friday night I took another shower and when I came out, my face was worst and completely covered with a flesh-eating rash that burned like hell and my face was as pink as a beet.  Even the benydryl I had did not stop the itching.



So I then again tried to call my friend about the groceries.  However, he was still somewhere in Olympia for the night and I could not get him on the phone.

So then I called my doctor, made an appointment for Saturday morning.

Then on Saturday, I went to the post office to check mail and found I had an overdraft for $18.00 caused when I closed my old bank account.  I never had one of those in my life.

 

 The reason I closed the account was that Net-Zero Internet was taking money from my bank for up to six months after I canceled and discontinued their service due to the accelerator which distorted my art images and resolution.  So my bank told me to close the old account and open a new one.   They also contacted net-Zero and my money is being sent back to me that they illegally withdrew.

So I put the mail in my back-pack and caught the bus to go to my doctor.  Another problem came on me when the bus took an hour to go for a 15-minute ride.  There was street construction going on and that is why the bus took an hour almost for a 15-minute ride.

Then I got to the doctor as she was leaving because it was Saturday and they were only open till noon.   My appointment was for 11 am.

 

And the rash on my face was just as bad as the day before.  IT really does not itch.  IT burns. It feels like something is eating the flesh off of my face, and it is a horrible rash.

 

My doctor gave me about six prescriptions for the medicine for shampoo and salves and creams.  I also had several allergy tests on my arm where bumps appear when you are allergic to something.  She says it is a rash elderly people get. IT is in my ears, along my nose. The medicine when it dries makes my facial skin feel like scales of an alligator or lizard. IT is disgusting and unbearable. I told her I really did not want to spent the next 20-yeasr of my life with my face feeling like St. Anthony’s Fire.  She said it wouldn’t go away but it would not be as bad as it was now.

 

When I got back to the U district and I went immediately to my bank and the bank returned my money due to the overdraft ($18.00) back into my account.  So then I walked down to the pharmacy and found they were closed for the day.  But that was no problem because somewhere between the doctor’s office and the bank I lost the prescriptions from my coat-pocket.

 

So then I rode the bus to a second pharmacy in downtown Seattle and found out that they could not reach my doctor who had left the office after I did a few hours before and she obviously not available and was not answering her beeper so the pharmacy could not get the prescription order over the phone. Meaning I would have to wait until Monday for my medications

 

Now it gets worst. I go home to my downtown condo and find my friend Grant had apparently finally got my dozen or so phone messages about my groceries, but he had no way to leave them for me since the buildings offices were closed for the weekend, so he left the four bags in front of my door at my condo.

 

Only problem is that someone stole all of my TV dinners and Swiss cheese and left me dry (not really) with four gallons of water.  Yes, I live in America the Free and I have to buy water, and that is because after living in Hawaii for 12 years, I find the water in Seattle to be disgusting tasteless and flat.  So I spent a miserable Saturday night with no food except Campbell’s soup and Eggo toaster pancakes with cheap syrup

 

Really pissed me off.

 

Now come Monday.  I get the scripts rewritten and go to the U district and drop them off at the pharmacy.  I then go to my favorite Chinese Restaurant and buy me a $9.00 Chinese dinner, wait for it and then go back to the pharmacy to pick up my medication. Now the pharmacy lady tells me that the Salves and crèmes for my rash has to be ordered from their warehouse over night so I will have to come back on Tuesday morning to get that and that the shampoo for my scalp is not covered by my insurance and that will cost me $60.00.  I kinda got an attitude and told her where she coup lp put the shampoo.  Kinda shocked her that I got mad.

 

After getting the remaining scripts, the antibiotics and some cough expectorant.  I went to Tower Records and bought the first season DVD set of Serenity.  Never saw the series but did see the movie.  So I carry my back-pack and my lunch to the bus stop and while waiting, another problem begins to gather dust at my feet, soon exploding into craziness.

 

I keep thinking is there a full moon somewhere across the earth that I am not aware and I am only minding my thoughts while miserably waiting for the bus.

 

Suddenly I hear a scream and there is a drunken lesbian and her drunk girlfriend. The little one is like 90-pounds with pox-marks all over her face. She is throwing up and then lying down on the sidewalk by the curb next to the bus stop. They are fighting with words, calling each other cunt and bitch.  The other woman is about 400-pounds. They are arguing and screaming at each other. And the little one kept leaning over on her side on the sidewalk vomiting her guts out.  Luckilly the wind was bliowign the other way, but you could smell it.  The big one wa trying to get the little one to stand up and they are being vulgar with each other.  Everyone waiting for the bus is irritated, yet fascinated at the action enough to watch.  SO I decide to pull out my camera and take a few pictures.  

It was then that I sat my bag of food on the bus stop seat and decided to take some fotos of the incident.






In this next image, she was chasing me and so I could not get a good still shot.  Then my friggin battetry ran out, but I rpetended to keep on taking pictures.

Before I new it the big fat one was in my face telling me to put my camera down.  She was screaming at me calling me a punk-faggot and that I was violating their rights by taking her picture. She came at me in a threatening mood and I backed away, walking backwards and laughing at her at the same time. This only irritated her more. Kept calling me fat-punk, so I responded with the line, “Talk about fat, you look like that hippopotamus from the movie Madagascar.” That pissed her off.  And she kept trying to shield her girlfriend from my camera threatening to hit me and break my camera. I told her if she did she would go to jail and she laughed and said that was only three meals a day.

 

By then her girlfriend got up and started screaming at me that I was violating her rights.  She came at me and for several times, tried to spit in my face, missing each time because I stepped away from her as she spit at me.  She did spit on a guy walking by and that was actually meant for me. She chased me around the bus stop and I was laughing and so were all the other people waiting for a bus.  Then a third lesbian woman (they are very obvious in the U district) who was standing there told me to quit bothering the girls and leave them alone. By then I was getting more pissed at the other two so I turned my camera to this third person and started to take her picture and she turned around and left instantly.  As I turned back to face the double-trouble girls, the little one came and bumped stomachs with me about four times.  Then I noticed the bus coming and jumped back.  They got on the bus and as I turned to get my Chinese food bag off of the bus stop, this street punk reached over and grabbed my lunch bag from the bus stop seat and proceeded to run down the street.

 

All of a sudden two bicycle cops come by because one of the storeowners by the bus stop had called for assistance for the girl on the ground.  I told them the drunk girls o got on the bus and while that occurred this kid grabbed my Chinese food bag and made off down the street. I briefly described him and they went, lickety-split on their bikes down the Ave.  Within a short period of time (about five minutes or maybe ten), they were back saying they could not find the person I described to them.

 

Then when I finally get downtown on a bus, the bus breaks down and we cannot move so we have to reboard a bus behind us.  But the guy in front forgets to unhook the trolley so we are stuck for another ten minutes in traffic because the 2nd bus cannot back up enough to move.


What a fucking weekend.

 

And to make matters worst, my rash came back from all of the stress.


So how was all of your weekend?

omg, what a story ... maybe it was something you ate? j/k ...
but, hey! Try aloe vera for that rash, its just the best thing for skin troubles and sure worth trying. The most goodies are just under the skin of the plant but the juice is so soothing in itself. A rinse of plantain, achillea, nettles, lemon balm and sage (all or any of these) might also bring relief.
Hope you're having a better weekend this time.
