glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER It is 3:31 PM Monday afternoon in the Death Flow. I just cleaned up after mowing our lawn front and back. Who says they do not believe in miracles? It is a cool cloudy sunny breezy afternoon in the Wasteland. I have been feeling sick all day, but I force myself to live in the Dead Zone. I believe in the Resurrection of the dead. This morning weird dreams and sweat drove me out of bed. When I stumbled out our bedroom I found Carol sitting in the living room reading the Bible. I got a bottle of ice mountain sparkling cold water and sat near my wife remembering all my past deeds. Finally I got up went to our kitchen and pour out a bowl of cereal for breakfast. After breakfast I wrote in my paper diary and messed with our main computer. I left for the library around 9:10 AM to check out the Friends of the Library used books sale and to volunteer at the Book Nook. I brought home today from the Friends of the Library used books sale and from the Book Nook these used books to ADD to our library- 'On Booze' essay by F.

When not helping people I read 'Nineteen Eight-Four' a novel by George Orwell. When I got home from the Book Nook I found Carol gone. She got home around 3 o'clock PM and is now sleeping because she works tonight. I am sick and I believe I am at the end of my rope. I will close to feel sick and to read some more of the book, 'The Ministry Of Truth: The Biography Of George Orwell's 1984' by Dorian Lynskey. 3:59 p.m. - 2019-07-22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
