The Last Two Months

This is the first blog post I have done in nearly two months.  The whole bug spraying saga we've alluded to before takes up to October 11th but after that I came down with one of these multi week virus.  However the virus started later and ended sooner than the five week virus I got last year.  But it still made me mentally disorganized.  Let me walk you through the chronology of events before and on October 11th.   It started September 3rd when the original bug announcement was made.  I said I "fell off the wagon".   I had five 24 ounce beer cans in the space of a week.  I don't call that falling off the wagon.  All five beers were Tacate, in case you are curious.   It was the following Tuesday, which would have been the tenth in the afternoon where we were expected to separate out our "trash" or things we're going to get rid of.  Cathy Larson's room was invaded and all sorts of her stuff ended up in the trash bin.  I was luckier than that.  I just had a big trash bag.  This was a Tuesday afternoon.  That Thursday two days later in the late afternoon I became aware that they were clearing out people's rooms of all posessions.  This occurred with me on Saturday morning.  I also put more stuff in a trash bag I wanted thrown out, and it was.   That was Saturday September 14th.   The actual spraying was Wednesday September 18th.  We had to take a shower in public.  That was a little strange.  We were given new clothes because they were that paranoid.   I did not get to go back into my room till nine twenty in the evening.  The antenna reception never seemed the same after that. On Wednesday October 2nd I went with my brother to Wall Mart to get a shaver that I needed because the other one was barely working.  Also I didn't have any shaver because everything was taken.  I didn't have any checks to pay the rent and we had to go to the bank to get these too.  This next sentence is out of sequence. The next event of import wasn't till a week and a half later on Saturday September 28th.  This is the day the TV and the computer were taken away in case bugs got in the electronics.  There is one more incident.  On Monday September 16th just about all of our clothes were taken.  We did not get the clothes back till Saturday October 5th.   On September 30th, which was a Monday, we had our usual resident's council meeting.  We had stuff "explained" to us.   On Tuesday October 8th we got our TV's and computers back.  On Friday October 11th. we got the rest of our stuff back.  All of this probably means nothing to you but I just thought I would include it as a token of what's been going on the previous two months.  I honestly thought it would take longer to go through.
