243rd day sober. I went to bed last night before midnight, because I was so sleepy I was actually starting to fall asleep in my chair.
I was awakened at a quarter to 6 by noises and yelling and curses, and looked at the video camera monitor. A zombie, with a zombie car that was a "luxury" car at one time by the size of it, was by the dumpster enclosure that has a dumpster in it. I should mention that one dumpster is very popular with all kinds of characters and even I use it to toss things in when it's the night it's emptied (Thursday night) and I'd put trash in there and got a couple of really nice boxes out of there yesterday.
The zombie car had a zombie at the wheel and a zombie wrestling with something, not sure but probably something heavy, that they wanted to throw away. Eventually, with much noise, they got it done and cinched down the trunk lid with a ratchet strap. Even that took a lot of time and lots of cussing.
Eventually there was a squealing sound as the zombie car limped away. Most zombie cars can barely move under their own power. I went back to bed and heard the zombie car, some distance away now, have its horn on constantly. I heard what sounded like the horn running down, then start up again, then the car move possibly closer as the horn/battery ran down again, and perhaps park in the alley between the two halves of the complex here. That alley's popular with zombies and there are often epic fights in there. That's what I think caused the horn honking continuously; there being two zombies in the car means an inevitable zombie fight (this is where the movies get it wrong, in that zombies don't leave each alone out of some kind of professional courtesy and only attack humans, no, they attack any living thing that's nearby including and especially other zombies.
Eventually everything settled down and I went back to sleep until 11. I'm headache-y and the cold has been bothering me. I thought about this and realized that last winter at this time I was still a drinker and if I wanted to warm up I just drank.
