Just another black spot on a white sheet
Another Sunday ? Why ? I digress. Seriously.
in the house where I live, 4 alcoholics live. They started at 15 year and are now 45. They are as children of 5 year old, don't eat properly and can not even cook an egg. But they drink 10 to 15 cans of beer ( 0.5 liter) and start in the morning though ( no, I did not know this when I rented the room ). They all have self-inflicted debt's between 10 and 20.000 dollar and are in the " debt restructuring " program of our municipality and have a monthly social benefit while they can actually work best, they are notphysically ill like me. It means that they have about $ 50 per week living allowance, and after 3 years it is intended that the debts are gone and / or remitted. Meanwhile they just boozing on. The worst of them, finally got some help, it took me and the landlord a lot of effort and time ( over three months ) to get through the walls of the addiction-center in our municipality. The municipality is responsible for the addiction treatment and responsible for the care of the chronically ill. Isn't ironic ? Right. This alcoholic will leave our house within a month but has finally received a weekly food package. even though I don't like these alcoholic's cause of their trans-boundary nuisance and filth, I made sure that he has divided the bigger products into portions, in a responsible hygienic manner. So, they are potentially rewarded for bad behavior with food, which they now don't have to buy themselves. AND that means; money left over for .. Beer .. Right. That they are drunk three times a day, fall over or down, or poo and pee in their pants is not the worst. They have no idea what I do, every day, to keep the house a little livable and free of pathogenic bacteria And then the same municipality goes investigate me ??. Right
A few weeks ago one of the seven counselors of these four alcoholics asked me why I did what i do. Cleaning, taking care and enforcement of house rules. Simply, I want to save lives, and not live in a mess while doing so. I also had to call in the police for nuisance or fight several times, but I find that this notorious alcoholics can not be helpedprofessionally by the police. Unless they are locked away for month, maybe. She also asked what should happen or was needed. Unfortunately, these guy's have too much freedom, their behavior and screaming have turned 3 streets against them already. They need 24/7 monitoring. Other people ask me why i stay here. The location suites me fine. Nearby the center, old trees in the neighborhood and i learn from these alcoholics. Or how the municipality / counselors treat them. Did you know an alcoholic can use them for 3,5 hours every week ? I can not even see my doctor for more than 10 minutes.
This week another incident @22:00 hours there was a knock on my door;
alcoholic; someone peed on the toilet seat.
me; Oh. Someone? I know who it was. It was your visitor.
alcoholic; Oh, well yes, I wanted to tell you it is dirty again.
me; He you know what, would you clean it for once ?.
alcoholic; Huh, no I'm going to clean up the mess of others.
me; Aha, what do you think I have done here in the last seven months, several times a day?
Followed by a heated discussion, briefly, cause i threw the alcoholic out of my room. Literally. After this he discussed to loud with an other alcoholic about how outrageous it was that someone made the toilet filthy, for about 10 minutes, I really had to turn my music louder. I usually clean the toilet in 30 seconds with mob and medical - anti bacterial soap. The Other alcoholic eventually did clean up the toilet, not the one I asked to do it 'just once'. Today he had another 'accident' ; poo in his pants and on the wall.. Sigh.. and Speaking of alcoholics ; After the disintegration of our foundation last weeks, my ex girlfriend, who i have not seen for 10 months was pestered by a board member while myself, again, is the object of research - related to my social benefits - by the same municipality neglecting the problem caused by these alcoholics. These officials are part of the system, the same government that regulates medicinal cannabis in the Netherlands. Stop bullying of patients before we go crazy !. My worn out spine and damaged intervertebral discs really will not heal spontaneously, as I know every morning, and several doctors have said to me. Finally they are right for once.. Right. Well, we go through, but in which direction, which path I'm going to walk? .
Speaking of walking, still no progress with my free and green medicine, which should have arrived sometime last week. What is arrived, is this waffle fry machine. It works. First I tried a basic recipe. We will soon make the first savory waffles and then with meat, cheese and "herbs"
Just can not help it, got to love it :)
