it's nice waking at a decent hour

it's nicer doing what i want.  waking at 2:30 waiting for the world to wake is like weekends as a child watching cartoons and eating cereal taking care of little sis while waiting for the older sis to wake.  

i'm wondering when senior pool opens back up what time i'll go.  with the center closed i'm driving a lot more.  

showered at 24 walked lucky's and got free drink and lightly salted lays.  bought b king for lunch.  ate fries on the way to cup.  i decided to go to ace hardware with coupon.  such variety.  bought 2 tiny phillips head sets.  toys and tools galore.  stopped at nob hill walked a lot.  bought 2 clearance dinners $1.99 ea.  i'm set for tomorrow.

i'm finally free to be me

i lay in bed 'til 10:30 when i remembered last library day of 2023.  i wanted to use coupon no volunteer for book store.  i found 6 movies.  drank protein shake for lunch feeling so good i went to walmart used medicare card.  bought supplements and shakes.  $94 for 39 cents.  then i remembered clearance frozen dinners at college safeway and walked store.  feeling wonderful home by 3.  fish dinner and double chocolate muffin.  

babies have the right idea

eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired.  that's why seniors don't sleep.  we're still growing.  just in reverse.  so i think we deserve to do what we want when we want.  we've earned it.  and anyone saying otherwise is a killjoy.  

i'm getting excited.  i washed my st just cat pajamas for new year's eve.  new socks.  new calendar.  i'm new.  county is open eve 'til 5 pm.  

seniors ok.  sprouts parking in front i felt so good i went to walmart patient young man clerk helped me use $80+ medicare money.  beet tablets, choc drinks, etc.  i still have $86.  i have a better idea of what i want.  and next month is 2 days away.  

now i know how sunny keeps spots current.  they bill after 21 days.  got an e mail 5:50 i called no one picked up.  they didn't subtract 4 days closed for xmas holiday.  and another 4 days over new year's.  

i'm feeling jubilant

after a lifetime of anxiety.  nothing has changed but me.   my allergies are terrible.  the threat of rain.  only barely sprinkles.  the fireplace burning is terrible.  says air quality good i don't agree.

today i showered and plenty of parking and 24 open on new year's.  go figure.  the janitor was hosing the floor then mopping.  less dust.  i found the little cuts on my hands are from the shower wand in the handicapped stall.  i noticed today it's messed up.  it's frequently occupied.  

i had 15 minutes straight to seniors.  i think my job may be to play subliminal music to raise vibes.  i can always go to sprouts after.  

my fishing shirt mobile storage weighs 2.5 lbs.  i need to wash it.  

sprouts 4 double choc chip muffins, broccoli clover sprouts, 2 chips.  feeling good and weather clear i did wash.  parked in driveway, hung everything easily, still feeling ok.  forgot to wash shirt.  i forgot i wanted to go to sunny to use sewing machine and return hot spot. 

book arrived.  checked it out.  matte finish not so good.  it's ok.  more expensive not better.  

sleeping to 'igor'.

still makes me laugh.  i stretched my back and my right hip is still locked tight.  

showered, walked lucky's.  considered big lots no.  walked safeway then sprouts clearance half cherry pie 99 cents, 2 yogurt cheese, almond dip, olive artichoke and chili honey hummus i gave to toki.  she thought i already left because no water at senior center no plumbing everything to go.  i walked prune ridge lucky's then ate at main library.  cathy called she got my card.  she needs money.  she likes to go out with her ladies and entertain.  

so good, so good, so good

after 24 hour i walked lucky's just in case.  returning to car parking lot i spy colorful toy solar hula girl missing skirt.  looking around i find plastic skirt carefully replace.  doesn't work.  i leave in sun and she recharges.  so cute.  

i walked sprouts clearance vanilla 4/$2.  good for 2 years.  got to seniors 11:30 lots of parking.  lovely lunch thom and toki.  and chinese people.  no coffee for 3 days weirdness explained.  then college safeway clearance lean cuisine $2.25 i bought 3.  checked st just, discarded cardboard box had veg supposed to rain tonight i saved it.  good sturdy storage box.  

i spoke my word.  all the poufs were taken in fireplace room so i walked and terrace room even better.  lovely 72 degrees no coats.  and much quieter.  more to explore.  

by the time my hair's dry the chrome is charged.  perfect.  i knew i was exhausted when i looked through my bag for my water bottle and couldn't find it 'cause it was in my hand.  

home 3 pm lean cuisine fish not fresh when frozen too fishy.  

i'm feeling healthy

watching 'chinatown' 1974 and how we're programmed through repetition to make the same mistakes.

watching super 'love again'.  i'm usually so skeptical and yet i found a great love movie.
