My Drug Rehab Retirement Got Exciting Today

I Did Cheer Dance and Made Up a Yell For Hot Noodles

The most exciting thing happened to me today; I spilled a whole bowl of ramen noodles on the floor of my apartment on my rug. It was interesting because I didn’t know those things could string out soooo far. I had taken the pains to add a few spices to the mix, such as cayenne pepper and chili powder. That stuff will make the little white towel you grab to wipe up your mess with into a reddish one.

In addition to being sad, because I dropped my lunch, I also made up a cheer dance because the liquid and the noodles were still hot from the microwave. The dance was hip-hoppy on one foot because the liquid only got on one house shoe. I wear house shoes inside my apartment because my friend, who also has type 2 diabetes, said never to go barefoot under any circumstances.

So I hopped around and did my cheer which contained too many unusual obscenities to write on medium. I cleaned it up, and I’m still looking around after an hour at dried noodle bits that I missed. I know I will experience the odor of the chili powder and cayenne tonight while trying to sleep. Oh well, it’s Texas “perfume” anyway.

A retired drug rehab counselor’s life does not seem dull. But it seems to involve cleaning up, fixing up, and ‘fessing up. Also, a different cheer dance called “fixing more.”
