Independence? weekend

 
Not a lot happening in my corner; Carolyn went to doc for her quarterly checkup and is doing very well except for some sugar problems.
She found out that she will be losing another two jobs, one definitely in September when one of the branch banks she cleans will stop operations, and another account building is changing over to one company to take care of all facility services nationwide. She has been with both places for more than ten years.

Heart doc says my chest is carrying too much fluid and it is causing my breathing problems; hell, I already knew that. The fluid pills I take sometimes work and sometimes not, and when they don’t work correctly, I become dehydrated and feel worse than ever. Now he wants me to take a larger dosage but only every other day. The condition is commonly known as “dropsy”. Well anyway; I’ve lost 10 pounds of weight since May.

Another Independence Day weekend for Americans, but for some reason I just don’t get into the spirit of the most important of all our holidays like I used to do. I’m watching my country flush itself into the money cesspool and not enough of us recognize the fact to force out government to be responsible for itself. Also, reading Albert Brooks’ new book adds to the helpless feelings.

Jonesborough Days are this weekend; Tennessee’s oldest town celebrates the 4th. Johnson City will have its annual fireworks show, and the United States of America will be 235 years old. We are naked in the world.

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
