What a week I'm having-

-and it's only Monday.

So we received a call from Mary Belle last night informing us that once again, Jean (the woman that stole her from Mary in the first place) had gone off the deep end. Considering that the woman takes a constant cocktail of high-end pharmaceutical drugs including OxyCotin, Percocet and Methadone I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

The police came out and told Mary Belle that they were going throw her in drug rehab (Mary Belle not Jean) if they had to come out again. Being that both Mary and I have some experience with people under the influence of mind-altering drugs and given the fact the Jean was speaking to people that were not there as well as threatening suicide if Mary Belle tried to get any help for Jean, we called the police in Edmond ourselves.

I spoke to the dispatch officer and she informed me that the police did indeed realize that Jean was the problem and not Mary Belle. I told her that Jean had threatened suicide and most probably needed to be under a 72 hour evaluation.

The officer informed me that they would send another squad out and they would call us for verification. They did send out a squad, they did not call us for verification. Apparently unlike the rest of the country the police in Mayberry can make psych evals without the benefit of medical school. God save us from podunk Oklahoman police.

On top of that I spoke to my ex-wife this morning after ten years. I get the feeling that this is going to be one of those weeks.

On the lighter side I did get an email from an old friend this morning that also has a web log. Check it out here.
