Coagulated Blood

Guess what? My sleeping patterns are all fucked up again. What else is new? And last night, I had the office phone forwarded to my 702 number. So of course, I get this call at 5 in the morning from this woman with an "emergency," something about her husbands antibiotic tubes having coagulated blood. I told her I would try to get in contact with the nurse and she got upset. I texted my sister in law but hello it's 5 a.m. and we are not a hospital. The woman called twice again and with each call she got more and more agitated, and her nastiness came out. I told her that she used the term "emergency" and if she thinks it's an emergency, then she should call 911. She got indignant when I told her that "I am not going to call 911! We just came from the hospital! " Well bitch, what do you want me to do then? I mean, I understand where she is coming from, she is probably scared. I learn later that it is the hospital's fault, that they were discharged without the proper information, and materials needed for the husband's condition. Well, la di da, bitch! So anyway, you can see why I couldn't go back to sleep after that. And now we come back to why my sleeping patterns are all messed up. 


There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks.
Most of the time we are simply not patient enough,
quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
