Need some inspiration.
Need some magic energy.
Need some really good reasons to not blow this damnable month to kingdom come.
Who thought old folks would cause such a rumpus? Five squad cars and an ambulance outside Elder House for almost two hours. One officer decked out in riot gear no less. Sleep was impossible; and so I tugged myself up and watched the show.
Many of our residents are veterans of various battles. They drink heavily. They suffer with PTSD. They are lonely, cranky, and hungry. Volatile combinations under any circumstances. Obviously I assumed one or more of them had caused the ruckus.
Ultimately the ambulance left empty and one tall, overall garbed young chap was escorted out. He was driven elsewhere after promising not to return. (When did officers become sympathetic?) The remaining uniforms laughed and talked for another half hour. Decompressing I suppose. It seems the overall boy was refused money by a grandparent and so tore up the lobby and carpet in the elevator. Also much, MUCH profanity. Amazed even me.
NOT the kind of inspiration I was hoping for.
