Apparently there’s a bear loose in town. According to the NJ.com (your one-stop shop for all things Jersey), “Police in Livingston have issued an alert to area residents to stay indoors after a large black bear was spotted near the high school early this morning.” Apparently it’s been localized to the Shrewsbury area now, but this town isn’t really that big. The high school is near the center, probably a mile or two from my own house. Nevertheless, the dogs (or, as we call ’em, purpies) are under close watch today.
Which is exactly what I’ve been doing for the last hour. My fourteen-year old dog (the little, white one…what’s-its-name) spent the last twenty minutes choking down and then puking up a Snausage. It was pretty hideous to watch the orange blob coated in mucus/pile to pour out of her belly onto the floor. It was sad to see, considering she’s got a severely arthritic front paw. She could barely stand up straight and she kept heaving and falling to the side. Kind of like watching a wino on anynight!
Yesterday I worked the closing/night shift at my place of business and today I worked the opening/morning shift. While both periods of time were indelibly boring, I was afforded the opportunity to gather more material for the book. Now I just need to figure out how to fashion all my creative writing clips in an interesting way to separate the longer sections from one another. It’s gonna be a neat book.
Oh, and speaking of books–I got booked on six counts of aggravated sexual assault. So I might not update this page again for a while.
