Yer gonna laff

So..
I keep journals, you know that, right.. Present tense, plural.. @ the relative present I've got four annhaf journaling docs going. The one which is today's topic is the em (machine) jour.. the electronic one. It's the easiest to access and, so, the easiest to compile. I have a lot of fun playing in the electronic archives. The topic, imean the point.. over the course of the past however long it's been since 1992 I've managed to lose a considerable amount of text to a variety of sloppy and malicious acts; I've also lost a lot of paper and ink stuff, but that's not the point. Yeah, there's STILL a point looming here.
Something else you OUGHT to know about me is that I have.. lessay a history of recreational drug (ab)use. I woulda NEVER have believed, the first time I smoked pot, as Easter dawned in 1972, that I COULD or would ever go joy riding w/my brain more than once or twice a year, but three years later I was crispin' up li'l sections of rope (hemp, y'know) every day. The next year I "discovered" psilosybin mushrooms and became an evangelist for hallucinogens along the lines of Aldous Huxley or Ken Kesey. My adult avocoation and situation has mostly precluded the opportunities to indulge that, um, recreation. Why was I surprised to find that I'd be inclined to "explore" off-label use of the various prescription meds which came w/my diagnosis of bipolar disorder/affective schizophrenia? I'd never used pills before, unless you count those little "purple barrel" hits of acid.
Relative lately, I've been taking my superfluous sleep aid, Ambien for "fun." I'd noticed, a couple or three months ago, that if I was writing @ bedtime (after taking the pill) I'd often return to my page or screen and find lines I'd writ but had absolutely no recollection of setting down. Hmmph, THAT could be fun ! !
Here's the point. I got up WedAM, opened the em journal and made the surprisingly quick trip to the bottom of the file. "Say what," I said.. that was TOO quick. And it was. The file which was 97 or so pages when last I remembered seeing it a scant six hours previously had only a single page of text in it.. headed thusly:

some freaky stupid thing wants to be messing severely w/the text. I may hafta do the restart.. something else the box seems not to like.

And I said Whoops.. or somethinglike that.
Yeah, imagine my chagrin. But surely YOU saw it coming, eh.

peace and hope
