DOING WHAT I DO

NOT KNOWING WHAT DAY IT WAS I AWOKE AT 5:36.  WATCHED THE END OF THE YEAR CH. 5 SUNDAY MORNING.  ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED 2017.  I WENT TO G2, WALKED AROUND SAFEWAY.  NO $ BACK.  AT LEAST AT SELF CHECK.  ONLY @  WALMART. 

ON TO LUCKY'S I FOUND A JERKY I MISSED AND BOUGHT A NEWSPAPER. 

I'M FEELING SO BLESSED.  I HAVE TONS OF FOOD.  THE CAR IS GOOD.  I'M CURRENT WITH MY BILLS. 

AND I HAVE TOMORROW, NEW YEAR'S, FREE.

I GOT IT

T IS HIS MOM.  WHEN HE'S LEFT BEHIND HE FEELS ABANDONED LIKE WHEN HIS MOM WOULD LEAVE HIM TO VISIT THEIR HUGE FAMILY. 

HE BEHAVES JUST LIKE HER.  TOO BAD.  HE MAY END LIKE HER.  WILL I TELL HIM?  NAH!  HE WOULDN'T HEAR ME.

I AM A SURVIVOR

I SURVIVED THE EFFECTS OF MY FAMILY AND I AM SURVIVING.

SELF CONTROL=GOOD STRESS

MAMA (DELORISE LUCAS) ACKNOWLEDGED I HAD EXERCISED MY SELF CONTROL.

I HAD TO BE A SELF CONTROL NINJA TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY.  TO SURVIVE.

SO TIRED

T IS FAMILY.  EXHAUSTING.  I WENT OVER YESTERDAY AS PLANNED AND HE WAS PRUNING THE FRONT ROSES.  VERY QUIET.  ROB WAS TAKING A WALK AND LOUISE WAS AT WORK 'TIL 7.

I WENT INSIDE AND STARTED HEATING THE HAM DINNER.  THE SCALLOP POTATOES, CANDIED YAMS, GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE.  I CARVED UP THE HAM AND PUT IT IN QUART ZIPLOCS.  I CALLED HIM TO EAT AND HE FUTZED AROUND.  TYPICAL MOODY T.  SO WE ATE AND I STARTED TO FIX ROB A PLATE AND TALKED ABOUT MAKING ONE FOR LOUISE OR I'D JUST LEAVE HALF THE FOOD.  HE GOT VERY UPSET.  HE BELIEVES THEY DON'T LIKE HIM AND TOLD ME TO TAKE EVERYTHING HOME  I LEFT HAM.  THEY'VE BEEN GOING AWAY WEEKENDS ON ROMANTIC GETAWAYS AND HE'S JEALOUS.  EVERYBODY HAS TO LOVE HIM MOST.  OH WELL.

SO LAST NIGHT I WAS EXHAUSTED.  COULDN'T SLEEP 'TIL 11 AND AWOKE @4.  SO I DROPPED OFF THE DVD MLIB AND CAME HOME.  FELL ASLEEP 2:30 WATCHING J. PEPIN. 

I'M TROLLING MOVIES AND RESTING MY BACK FROM PRUNING THE LEMON BUSH.

THE NEW ME

G2, TD NO ONE HOME.  HE TOLD ME WRONG.  HE WAS AT WORK.  AND DIDN'T CALL TO TELL ME.  SO I CAME HOME 1 PM AND TOOK APART THE TURKEY, COOKED THE MASHED QUITE GOOD MADE SANDWICH, HEATED SLICED TURKEY WITH ORANGE MARMALADE, ATE POTATO/BUTTER, APPLE PIE.  I DON'T HAVE TO HEAT TURKEY.

I HAD THE CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD AT LUNCH.  LOVELY LADIES BACK FROM TRIPS.

CLEANED UP EMAILS.  I HAD OLD ONES FROM LAST YEAR.

GOOD DAY.  COSTCO GAS TOMORROW.

BETTER & BETTER

I WENT TO G2 AFTER 8 AM.  I FOUND CLASSICAL STRETCH ON 54 @ 7:30.  PLAYED, SOAKED, EXERCISED. TOOK MY TIME TO B-SRS.

I GAVE GERTA THE CANDIED FRUIT.  SHE OFFERED TO PAY ME.  I TOLD HER LAWRENCE LUCKY'S, MERRY XMAS.  IT WAS ONLY $4.  ON MY WAY TO MLIB I THOUGHT I'D TRY SARATOGA STORE.  I GET THERE AND LOOK AT CARTS ANTICIPATING...  I FIND A BRAND NEW CAKE PAN W/NOTE TWO DAYS OLD SAYING CUSTOMER LEFT IT, MAY BE BACK.  DIDN'T COME BACK AND WHY WOULD THE STORE LEAVE IT OUTSIDE UNDER A CART IN THE LINE UP?  I PUT IT IN TRUNK.

I GO INSIDE AND BOUGHT 4 JINGLE BELL NECKLACES $.50 EA, 2 SPATULAS /$1, 1 LB. RED CANDIED CHERRIES $6.  THEY DIDN'T MARK DOWN YET.  SO THE REWARDS BALANCES THE DIFFERENCE.  AND THE CAKE PAN.

I WENT TO LIBRARY AND DROPPED OFF TWO DVDS, PICKED UP 1.

I CAME HOME AND WATERED PLANTS, PICKED AND TRIMMED LEMON, ATE ASIAN PORK CHOP FROM LUNCH.  GERTA GAVE ME HER EXTRA.  DELICIOUS WITH BREAD.  I COOKED BROWN/WILD RICE WITH EXTRA H2O AND LONGER COOKING TIME.  THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOX ARE WRONG.

TYGJ.

WATCHING DOC MARTIN

IT TOOK ME 45 MIN TO GET INTO BLOGGER.  I THINK BECAUSE IT'S SO COLD.

THE DOCTOR IS OUT:  WATCHING DOC MARTIN HAS DRAMA, MYSTERY, SUSPENSE, COMEDY.

JEOPARDY AND WHEEL ARE ON LATE TONIGHT.  (FOOTBALL)  I HOPE I CAN STAY UP UNTIL 9.

I CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN THE SPIDER I BOUGHT YESTERDAY AT LUCKYS AND THE RED EYES LIGHT UP.
