*sigh* That annual yard sale where HUNDREDS of people loiter around from 8am-3pm is this Saturday. My condo complex is 60 acres, so there's a lot of residents selling their wares; and endless people looking at the stuff. I have this thing about crowds loitering near my place. It makes paranoid! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! Strangers hanging around for hours, and it makes me crazy. I'm a very private girl and it makes me feel trapped. Mind you, my place is roughly seven yards from the busiest area. Also, right after that, several neighbours with small children have an ENORMOUS birthday party outside near my background. There's always about 20 kids under the age of 10 screaming and running around; and of course, their parents. This goes on for about 5 hours....it's a nightmare!
But I had a wonderful idea! On Friday, I'm going into a drug detox place until Monday or Tuesday. Actually, I'm kinda using it as a free hotel. 😇 I've been there COUNTLESS times and I know the routine. I get a menu for meals, a GREAT bed, and this time I'll fake withdrawal. Plus, I get to steal several of their fluffy towels. Yay! But I WON'T go to those lame AA meetings. They're such bullshit! They always ask you when was the last time you used...I'll have to take several Tramadol tonight so it's in my system on Friday. They draw blood to measure what drugs you're coming off of, so I HAVE to play along.
Anyway, that's my solution to avoid this weekend horror. I love that these hospital beds are adjustable and SO comfortable. I'll have a roommate 😬 but whatever. (At least there's curtains to separate us!) I'm not going to be in bad shape like some of the other problem coming off heroin or meth, Thank God. They can be REALLY annoying but I just ignore them. Such is life.
