I LOVE PLAYING-93/65-70/52

I NOW LOVE LIFE!!  

Walter has made me the enemy.  and I don't care.  he's chosen to construct a contentious relationship.  oh,well.  

I got an extra lunch sitting up front.  he got one also.  my shadow.  

I finished the 1000 travel poster puzzle and Gail gave me 2 fun puzzles.

oh, what to want-Dollars ($) movie 1971-chrome froze

following spirit.  I'm resting watching TV.  Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn.  they work so hard at stealing money I'm feeling exhausted.  

I'm remembering to wipe off after picking up fruit, going outside.  warnings on air quality.  I'm hoping my allergies are part of toxin clearing from smoking.  I never had allergies 'til I lived on my own and started smoking.  my body missed the nicotine I was born with dad's chain smoking.  

I'm missing it now.  

I managed to retrieve pages.

Talk like a Pirate Day-Art and Wine

I was unsure what I wanted to do.  I waited 'til spirit led me.  24 hour #1 parking 8 am.  

I showered then sat waiting for further direction.  9:30 drove to St Justin blocked off for Art Wine parking.  I checked lunch pick up still happening.  then to decide park and pick up or pick up and park.  under library late opening 9:50.  one car stuck at bottom until gate unlocked.  so now I know no timer, someone late.  or passive aggressive.  

last year I avoided it entirely I think I went to Sunnyvale.  tomorrow special hours open 10-5.  hmmm...

lunch bag only one ham cheese sandwich.  no weekend bags.  I ate everything.  i stayed 'til 5.  I was feeling tired.  I remembered I had salad mix and lemon pepper tuna at home.

Nat'l cheeseburger day

a bright spot in an insane world of fires and floods about no one seems very concerned.  it's only getting worse and those impacted seem oblivious.  

Fred was happy handing out wrapped Grandma's cookies.  Melvin gave him big box of tea, Toki chips, little Gloria snacks. I gave him giraffe card and $5 for a toy from all of us.````

I went to Cup library after a contentious conversation w/Walter.  he thinks Fred and Toki's politeness means he's not disrespecting us by droning on and on his past of which we're too too familiar.  so insecure.  

I thought I was buying 2 salmon cesar salad when it was seafood.  eh, I was hungry from a tiny lunch.  low blood sugar to the brain.  my 3 pm snack.  half off $5.99 ea.  and pure sugar cafe strawberry cake quarter $2.99.  Lawrence super Safeway.  

had to sit cafe area.  copy room occupied.  

Sammie happy his wife back from China.

b'fast Vienna sausage

swam and soaked.  stretched.  lunch w/Toki and Walter.  NOT letting him dump on me.  I got myself 2 noodles.  Elizabeth picked the giraffe card.  Toki didn't want to choose signing on a giraffe.    

I finished 500 piece Grogu Mandalorian puzzle.  so fun.  

I feel like a queen  Fred and Debi brought me PB cookies.  I ate 2.

home at 4 pm.  The air is so bad I'm wheezing.

no rushing -PAID PGE

I took my leftover chicken noodle and ate at seniors.  lovely calm quiet b'fast.  I took EVOO and brushed my teeth.  I have other jars to keep home.  

Fred wanted help handing out his b'day cookies Friday.  I mistakenly thought Walter would want to support Fred.  no way.  Walter started making excuses, no is sufficient.  

after lunch w/Fred, Toki, Walter I decided to pay PGE at Walmart.  in my car I looked through all my papers and found 1 b'day card w/giraffes.  

2 pm I stopped to pick up Lucky's weekly ad, found clearance 4 boxes Hostess chocolate cupcakes $1 ea, 2 drinks $1 ea, $3 peanut chocolate spread.  

I walked around Walmart and found a clearance Cobb salad for dinner $2.08, a third off.  I drove back to the seniors considering a second swim.  not today.   

home I finally remembered to look and found frog "Hoppy Birthday" card.

I ate the fish and potato I forgot I cooked.

I am Here Lord

I dropped and found my gym lock keys and shampoo.  

Nicole left her purse on the lunch chair.  I took it to Jon & Jennifer front desk.  she came back w/her daughter.  

I puzzled until Toki came upstairs.  I remembered to get copy paper to document the website.  she's going to write to them since there's no reply online.  

my allergy is better since I'm wearing a mask and drinking gallons of water.  every time I go out to my car the pollen gets me.  

I dropped off today's 4 oranges.

lovely cool found Atomic Habits

I picked up avocado, guavas gone.  wearing a mask less allergies and I wipe down.  nuked chicken skins.  

I drank strawberry Quick.  so good.  I have to stay hydrated because of allergies.  

the best is the library access to everything I need.  water, air conditioning, rest room.  

10 am 66 degrees.  LOVELY.

11 am 24 hour fitness.  feeling hungry I decided on Jack Box.  2 breakfast jacks 2 hash browns.  library arriving too early I parked, ate the potatoes.  funny how keeping busy I'm not hungry.  

interesting men bring their daughters to the puzzle table so they can ignore them.  they might as well stay home.  bad daddies.

feeling sad change insecurity-PAID Disc, Cell, Car-Bartolo & Adele

Discover to Cap One.  Toki and I are dealing with change.  it's nice to have conducive company.  I found 5 new cloth 95 masks.  

I decided no 24 at 8 am.  I'm being gentle with myself.  I may go later.  

hell seeker turned off my recording while I got water and took a break.  so I plugged in ears.  they have a right to live in hell how they choose.  

I'm finally eating the last cheddar almond crisps exp 10 may 2024.  such dry salty cardboard they must be so healthy.  I bought a box maybe 6? and this is the last.  the idea was better than the execution.

twenty five years ago-Hark

I woke 5:46 and turned on the TV being bed ridden since mom's death.  (I desperately tried to pull her from the bath tub and ruined my back.  took 3 firemen to get her out.)  for the first time I was glad she didn't have to see the chaos and destruction.  

I can't watch those enjoying the attention.  

lunch OK Fred, Toki, happy Walter.  2 extra meals.  Toki got another jury duty notice.  Walter said his last was received after expiration and never bothered him again.  we may handle it Monday on senior computer.  oh, I could go over.   

Fred's b'day Friday 18th then 2 weeks vacation.  

I'm comfortably in my original spot.  bottom copy room nickel upper occupied.  

Hark I can listen just for me and still fulfill improving the planet containing me.

most excellent warm morning-Costco $5.50/gal Sunny dime more-no heaven for u

the chrome went down to 46% I plugged it in crooked.  people use devices to avoid living.  I love improving my life.

lunch with Walter OK.  Sunshine and Ruben gave me desserts.  I'm eating allergy leaves and vitamin c until the fluffy plant goes away.  Walter gave me new box trader joe choc chip cookies.

I feel like I'm still clearing my lungs from ex smoking.  

old white female bookstore volunteer complained my recording started while I was browsing I shut it off.  I commented on white folks in the library talking at the top of their lungs.  she said I think so.  yes I know so.  she'd rather serve in hell than allow anyone else heaven.

Sunnyvale library open.  considered and discounted sewing lab.  I don't feel like working.  

24 at 9 am #1 parking spot.  maybe it's the time walking not the distance.  I love the unlimited hot water.

enough time for B King.  compared to Jack Box $1.50 for 2 med fries.  

I brought lemon pepper tuna just in case.  

people litter frustrated.  they're trying to express their hurt trying to project the hurt.  took 4 minutes for signal to left turn.  

Sunny water weird.  I used back fountain.

allergy plant and vitamin C-PAID CITIBANK

I'm feeling much better.  the 11 hour Louise states I'm positive.  I was born positive and they hated me for my positive attitude.  

24 hour unlimited hot water is delightful.  3 days sans brace.  

I decided to pay gasoline.  I'll fill up tomorrow maybe.  still $5.29/gal.  Banh mi OK not as good.  regular bread no cilantro.  I enjoyed cucumber salad.  Walter got one also.  coleslaw eh.  dinner is covered.

I drove around to Toki's car and loaded all the fruit since there is no seniors this week.  

The central elevator is broken so Martha security asked permission to take me on staff elevator.  she looks like she lost at least 10-15 lbs.  

I bought Beatles REVOLVER $2.

summer cold-Toki Arare

aaugh!!  took a 24 hr antihistamine not very good.  I'm OK.  I have vit C, allergy plant Tylophora indica.  resting, watching Love Boat.  sneezing.  sore nose.  

Toki left me Arare and my fruit box.  I caught an allergy cold.  the fuzzy plants blowing around.  I went out to pick up fruit and my sinuses are blocked.  eating allergy leaves really help.

funny how the mind forgets and the body remembers dad-Melvin chips

it's been 27 years.  maybe by 30 the body adjusts.  my body is reliving dad's miserable death because of my sisters.  they tortured dad, mom and me the last month of his life.  he was in excruciating pain keeping mom and me in agony with his crying and pleading.  

listening to 432 Hz Alpha waves.  quite nice.  you tube plays whatever.  it's working.

3 pm Melvin brought me 2 bags of low salt chips.  MIRACLE.  he went to seniors gym this morning missed me.  so I told him about dad's death day. 

I'm no longer alone.

Friday! Tyler from senior gym visit

working retail I always worked weekends.  since the family conditioned me to serve 24/7 I never thought about it.  NOW I have weekends.  

Gohan has been working for the city, well, playing since he was 16.  Gail got him an 'internship'.  they get paid to put on celebrations, festivals.  PAID TO PARTY.

Like my life with Eric Karaoke Kids.  Paid to party.  Hard physical work lugging 500 lb equipment box.

I Thank Louise for my improved Life.  I toil not, neither do I spin.  

MeMe came to visit.  she's still working early at Nob too.  city after 1:30.

seniors

I'm making the best of it.  nightmares of child abuse I'm trying to see through love.  

the angry child wants to get rid of everything.  throw them all away.  dad, mom, aiko.  mit came after.  throw it all away.  bad memories.  

I soaked and stretched over an hour.  I almost finished puzzle.  Jon came to ask me about some man in a blue cap.  I never noticed.  

lunch was bibimbap.  Fred and Toki took off early.  I told Walter I was moving to the front for leftovers and he decided to go.  after getting an extra lunch I went back to finish the pink and gold house.  

annoying ex came with his lunch saying I had made progress.  when I finished the puzzle he gave me permission to pick the next puzzle.  what a jerk.  I went downstairs didn't have my blue swag bag.  I looked in the cafeteria, went back upstairs he was sitting on my bag.  last week he moved my car keys from the chair arm but today the jerk sits on my bag.  

I went downstairs to charge my devices and listen to Louise.  

2:30 I was tired.  home by 3.  supposed to rain tomorrow.
