Weather and Health
December 12th 2008 00:46
The baby Koels cry outside while the rain trickles incessantly from above - the poor Kurrawongs no longer want their monstrous children - part of them seems proud to have raised such beasts, the other part seems terrified of what their children have become. They are devoted adoptive parents, returning, always returning to the frantic cries despite the fact you can tell, they are worried if they return without enough food, the enfants terrible will turn on them.
I thought, when I beat my latest sinus infection, I would feel better. You would think, that Id be used to the cycle by now, I have, after all, been experiencing these infections since roughly may. The infection started to disappear on onset of antibiotics, and I started to feel well, and pushed for it. Now Ive beaten the infection, the left tube connecting ear to nostril is still blocked and constantly irritated. All I have to do is take a deep breath and I need to scratch it from the inside out. Doing the ducks? The horses? Well, its agony, with all that seed dust flying around. The left side of my face is throbbing and moving down my neck. I constantly - constantly - blow my nose to remove the irritation, 4 times out of 5, nothing comes out. What do I expect? The tubes blocked. This is what leads to the next infection. I get the strangest popping sounds in my ears. Both of them now.
As you know, the doc wants my tooth out. I have only just gotten my wisdom teeth down, and she wants...I think its third from the back upper grinder, pulled out as it MIGHT be the cause of the problem. Theres no point subjecting me to nasal surgery or further exploration until that tooth comes out. She gave me a referral to the hospital clinic. Get this - I rang them right, said I have a referral from my doctor and need to go on the waiting list. She asked for my centrelink number. I told her I dont have one - Im unemployed, I have NO INCOME, Zip Nada - but Im not eligable for centrelink benefits as my partner earns too much.
She tells me without a centrelink number Im not eligable for the free clinic. I have to see a private dentist. I asked her just how I was supposed to pay for it, with no income. She simply repeated without a centrelink number, I could not go on the waiting list. End Conversation.
So Im gonna be stuck with this....Well, forever? Even once I get a job I cant turn around in my first week and say, "I need a few days off for tooth extraction" and the real kicker is that might not even fix the problem. Fuck living is just so much fun isnt it?
If, I want centrelink benefits, which would really help our situation, if I want this lovely christmas bonus Rudds handing out, which would help us even more, do you know what I could do? Its very simple, I have an option.
Let go of all my effort in staying sane. Open the doors, listen to every single screaming voice. Carve up my arms and thighs with a razor blade or pocket knife. Swallow whole packets of codiene. Walk into a centrelink office raving every world the little voices tell me. Say, I cant work. I need a medical benefit. And they will throw one at me. Id have my tooth fixed in a week, Id have my government bonus by christmas. So, basically, what the government is saying to me right now is....
"We'd like you to go crazy. Oh, yes, we understand that you've spent the last few years trying desperately to be sane, but at this point in time, we just cant see that you're actually in need. So we need you to go off the deep end"
As for the weather.....You might recall me way back in Febuary saying that the wnter would be especially long and cold. Jeez, not even I knew what that would mean. Summer has come, for a few days here and there, and then fled again under the force of the cold. I mean, Im loving it, I cant help myself, but this is obvious and complete evidence of CLIMATE CHANGE. No, not Global Warming - CLIMATE CHANGE. I dont just worry about the weather going on over my head - I see the patterns right across Australia and can predict what cloud patterns mean better than any weather man. Before the massive storms in Queensland, I saw the tight cloud spirals that were almost cyclones, sweeping over Australia to hit QLD straight on and lash NSW. The weather we are experiencing right now is another particularly tight collection of spirals, almost unheard of in this frequency, this time of year. They would normally break up over the hot dry of WA but that hasnt happened. They have stayed together to be fed by the tropical wet heat around the coast and north and been given a hearty charge to keep on raining on us. I mean, a summer without sun - its just brilliant, but it needs to be noticed in a more pointed way than, "Hey, wheres the sun?" We humans have to realize a climate change is occuring, and its not nearly as simple as the earth getting hot all over. That would be simple, easy. No, the earth doesnt do things like that. She's a complex system, and all of those systems - every last one - will disintegrate and break down in their own way before reforming in a new one. Heres the newsflash - she doesnt give a flying fuck about the humans crawling on the surface when she does this. I believe we are more likely to see an ice age that a wall of fire, even though some parts of the earth will burn. It may take up to 50 years, but it is happening, has started, and we need to be HUMANS, be the top of the food chain, adapt and change and be ready, so that some of us may survive in the new world.
Now, Im off to google The Simpsons having sex, I want to see if I get arrested too. So many people must be googling that thread right now the gaol cells must be full. Ultra cool, Ive missed some of my mates.

I've missed you sweetie....You know you look so cute in your new post pic dont you?
Eh, financially, Im used to that particular rut...That if I was just a bit more crazy, I could get benefits and what Kman earns wouldnt even be a factor. Its just hard to stomach at the moment when I need health care.
