savers opened november

i'm feeling blessed.  first i drove to redwood city, then 3 in san jose - rose garden, moorpark, almadenn,  milpitas 'til it closed.  and now it's in my own neighborhood.  

i picked up cup 'my big fat greek wedding 2' and 8 others.  discarded idea of gas station.    came straight home and did domestic.  cleared spoiled veg garbage and put out bin and recycle.  I ate potato salad and crab cakes and slept 2 hours.  

i've been looking for anthem prime books and i stuck them next to my tv chair and couldn't see it.  i didn't get my new card.  nowhere does it mention my $600 otc allowance.

joy ride 2023

surprisingly funny.  sometimes gross, frequently ridiculous.  and all of them so cute and funny.  the first truly free A Z N women.  i celebrate their lives.  i hope they connect with awkafina (i just read her controversy when whites have appropriated asian culture forever)  and margaret cho.  

the $2.75 argan oil shampoo is a thick gel that makes my hair so soft.  i thinned beauty argan shampoo so probably why bottle leaks.  i swam, puzzled, bought 2 more clearance crab cakes and home.  cooked one package eating all day.  doing what i want.  

10 pm watching wheel.  heaven.

i'm remembering to love my boredom

dino said no bingo.  i didn't ask.  i learned to avoid punishment by keeping a low profile.  or maybe mom's proverb 'the standing nail gets hammered down.'  she punished me plenty.  must be why i hesitate getting involved or being singled out.  susan asked to take my picture for the continuing education magazine no way.  my life is comfortable.  except for my neuropathy.  as i heal the nerves are coming alive and more feeling more pain.  

besides i figured out putin invaded ukraine because he was bored.  murder is entertaining on this planet.  life isn't tough enough, make trouble.  

showered and annoying female second day at puzzle table scrolling through phone trying to provoke conversation.  i already have an older annoying sister job's filled.  senior old enough to know better not doing better i used to think i had to put up with it i never did.  i was so wrong.  they don't learn.  my family over and over.  like trump followers.

so home early taking out the trash.  baked 5/$2.99 crab cakes college safeway clearance and 3 lb $5 egg potato salad perfect dinner with 99 cent sprouts green salad.  

Thursday, January 25, 2024

only 11 months 'til xmas

i'm actually looking forward.  my neuropathy is better.  my legs, hips, feet are stiff, swollen and sore.  i have more feeling.  they call it peripheral neuropathy as if naming it makes it somehow better.  and my muscles in my back have relaxed so my stomach is huge.  oh well.

mr skeffington 1944-excellent

truly a love story set in a history lesson of the first and second world war.  special features and extra content.  unseen footage edited to fit tv time slot.  no great depression.  i wonder if it encouraged world war two.  the lack of resources.  the poverty. 

i woke and realized it's Sunday I have a free day.  i mapped out i can save 3.5 miles driving from cup directly to sunny library.  Savers opens 10.  yippee!!  doing what i want.  i've never been so free!  free to be my autistic self!

watching a national geographic program about spiders the outer atmosphere is positive charge, earth negatively charged spiders use electricity to fly on spider silk.  heaven is positive.  kind of spooky how it works out.

i folded and put away wash, mended, organized my library week.  and i'm raring to go.  i drove to cup drop off pick up then to sunny book sale i found 'bowfinger' so i filled a bag.  feeling good i took art masunaga library delivery info.  visited half hour too warm.  atria open 8-8.  driving home thinking of dinner i remembered i wanted hot pockets.  detoured to lucky's and $2.99 hungry man chicken.  mom always said we couldn't afford them then she went out for lunch every day.  how she got fat.  hypocrite.

my legs, back, neck

letting me know i need to move.  my body is protesting sitting at bingo.  i don't know how people do it.  

heaven is learning how to get paid for what you enjoy doing, and would do without payment.  i enjoy puzzles.  order gives me pleasure.  making a picture from chaos.

i was so naughty.  dyed black success permed chinese female left her things in shower to reserve it so after 10 minutes i took the towel on the curtain rod.  when she came back she saw it peeking out from my case as i was spinning my suit.  i made her work for it pretending i didn't know what she wanted over the spinner noise.  but i did.  i told her i thought she abandoned it.  eh, i gave it back.  another woman smiled at me as if she knew.  now i understand the deep feeling of satisfaction of depriving another.  so what if mom and alien never loved me. 

main library sitting eating sprouts' mark down beet salad.  using chop sticks kept in my car easy to avoid raw red onions.  beet juice can dye them to look like beets.  i'm eating excellent.  i bought sale books and 'mr skeffington' movie.  

i fixed sweater inge gave me.  full of perfume.  i stitched lining easier than i imagined.  i'll wash it.

water is my favorite medicine

to soak in and drinking eliminates toxins.  scientists need to study digestion to understand fission and fusion.  our bodies do it all the time.  our bodies make energy without knowing how...  

lego 's-olomon, h-ercules, a-tlas, z-eus, a-chilles, m-ercury; '  teaches that being a hero is making the world a better place not super powers.

i went to prune ridge lucky's for free soda, picked up $1.99 chips cheapest.  paid gas bill wall mart found clearance 3' ice stick with snow brush i can use for cob webs 75 cents and orange hostess cupcakes 2/$1.58.  sprouts 10:30 2 special no added sugar blueberry pies, 2 half rye loafs, cherries $1.99/lb.  i gave toki pie, banana, half cherries.  i want to give inge rye bread.

mom must have been a secret eater to remain overweight.  i only saw her dinner time.  she never ate b'fast, worked.  ate lunch out everyday.  unless she drank her calories in alcohol but it was dad had cancer.  

bingo secret to winning=surrender.  won twice when i let go.  picked $5 snack bar and small red dress bag i'll offer to inge for her b'day.

heaven is having what you want when you want it

i'm learning and growing.  watching 'life with father' i realize for the first time it's a highly prejudiced depiction of 1883 new york.  all white people time capsule of life.  wow.  

non whites didn't exist.  the trades people are irish catholics the rich are episcopalian or methodist.  

seniors i waited 9:30-10 for parking reading and organizing my day.  between classes.  10 am a dozen spaces opened.  i swam and had lunch.  went to crowded laundromat perfect weather for washing.  walked sprouts can of curry chickpeas.  home i easily unloaded and hung clothes.  

cooked 2 hot sausages in micro high 3:33 and simmer 12.  cut into small pieces and made omelets.  topped with lentils and leftover arroz con pollo lunch with beans.  because of basketball i stayed up 'til 10:45.  i didn't watch jeopardy the ken jennings show..

oh, i don't know. anthem blue downgraded me

woke ready to go.  still i took my time.  i got to seniors 9 and i swam over an hour.  i took my time.  i'm living mindfully.  lunch was just toki and i.  eddy came and went.  we were good and cleared for dancers.  toki always remembers.  after lunch i went to savers.  i looked all over.  found a basket of hair dryers.  i bought 2, 'life with father' movie, microwave 700 watt like new $10.  i forgot rewards I looked online an hour and finally called store, they can add i can't.  i'm not stupid.  

home 3 pm i called to check my otc benefits only $30/quarter.  what!!??  i called member services care lon no more.  phone is south cal.  i received no info.  81 minutes to join new coverage cory bruffett.  like filling out a marriage license.  

i wanted to go sew but i finished phone 6 pm so next week maybe.

progress is perfection-mallory made puzzle bookcases

it used to be 'progress not perfection' but now i realize progress is perfection.  i'm gradually becoming happier.  easing into heaven is much more comfortable than all at once.  

i'm ready to bingo.  well, i didn't win.  3 pm i was leaving walter was outside with his rooster.  i told him i had to get to safeway friday deals.  i got the last cooked beef and egg potato salad, and 2 clearance argan oil lavender shampoo.  score!

6 am mashallah! thank god! (hot spot)

watching Pakistani 'what's love got to do with it?'  better than i hoped.  i watched 'fool's paradise'.  'bowfinger' better.  just thinking about it makes me laugh.

i swam.  i have to change my timing.  all schedules changed.  i forgot sewing machines at sunny library.  went completely out of my mind.  oh, well next week.  

i turned in sunny hot spot the 4th not even a week without.  i went from 29th in line.  tygj.

wheel on after basketball.  football now basketball.

taking time off

i decided i wanted to puzzle.  a new experiment on happiness.  premise:  if i'm happy then everything falls effortlessly into place.  

they purport to have potato salad bag lunch.  and i remembered i want to check prune lucky's for leg warmers and green burritos.  

11 am sitting lunch room i'd estimate most people are not happy.  not sad.  right on cue my allergies kicking up.  so dusty.

i puzzled a bit 2:30 i went to post office.  i was told i had to write from and to on box.   strange rules.   because it was book $4.67.   

i walked prune lucky's checked leg warmers, they may not be marked down by vendor.  green burritos 2/$1.  stopped walked homestead safeway burritos 79 cents.  bought chocolate parfait $3.49 and got cash used wi-fi.

9 pm i'm awake to watch 'only murders in the building.'  'embrace the mess.'

roller coaster

up and down.  i drove as slowly as safe.  seniors 9:30 i went upstairs to puzzle for an hour to warm up.  showers not hot.  i took my time stretching.  lunch was ok.  chef salad and i waited to try extra bean stew.  

upstairs i puzzled walter and mini showed up 2 pm.  he rehashed November inspections and anxiety.  i realize he enjoys his anxiety.  he's closed off his feelings so all he can feel is anxious.  he chooses not to grieve.  he can't feel happy.  he's loyal to his dad's misery.  i had to stop 5 pm and then went back to use wi-fi.  took me half hour to check settings.  i'm ok.  i feel like i sacrificed 2 months of life listening to walter's tapes.  

Sunday, January 7, 2024

epiphany

i'm celebrating the 3 kings.  i watched health hacks movies.  i'm surprised they recommend oat meal for b'fast rather than protein.  

sprouts after seniors clearance $1.99 apple cider baked 9 doughnut holes $9 regular price, sandwich, 3 egg white mini quiche.  decided to check st just lots of clothes and food.  i parked under main, returned movies picked up one, ate my sandwich and watched people.  felt tired.  went home took 2 hours to sort food, cook pizza, partially defrost garage freezer iced shut.  used hammer, slot screw driver, bucket for ice chips.  reminds me of the 'monk' episode.  

Friday, January 5, 2024

bingo! and 'crumbles' cookie

inge left a specialty cookie butter cream scoop looking like a scoop of ice cream.  very good.  sidney gave me a cottage cheese salad.  i ate the cheese and lunch left overs.  i'm tossing the green beans and cantaloupe to the birds.  bingo i won late, 2x used beige boat neck sweat shirt.  i went to city bank paid cost co and hunted free lucky's peach reign storm.  i saw a lot of seniors in the store.  

i'm feeling happy.

Thursday, January 4, 2024

i stayed up to watch wheel

i surprised myself.  i usually fall asleep.  i took a beet pill.  it says 4 a day but it has so many extra vitamins i only take one when tired.  works gentler than caffeine or chamomile.  i already take a multi with my supplements.  

i'm getting excited.  i'm going to return spot and check out sunny sewing.  diane pooh poohed it which i expected.  i think it's an amazing opportunity.  i love new safe quiet adventures and this is right up my alley.  she didn't even know the make of the sewing machine.  i'd like to repair art's jeans.  hand sewing is not for me.  too much.

i'm watching 'christmas angel'.  one of 5 angel movies from main.  so far 2024 is going very well.  

Wednesday, January 3, 2024

stopped at sprouts

 99 cent cheese.  i didn't feel the duck liver with pork morsels and cognac.  inge  said she loves it.  she gave me dirty mohair sequin black sweater.  eh, foie gras gone when i went to credit union.  i'll give ger cookies.  i'm feeling successful.  swam 45 min.

i puzzled at main 'til 6.  yay!! me!!

Tuesday, January 2, 2024

seniors i swam.  it's good to get back.  full body massage and stretching.  i walked sprouts no bargains.  i'm so glad i'm done for the day.  i forgot bank card.  i forgive myself.  i learned chase flora has changed its limits.  i got home at 2.  getting ready for tomorrow.  

rain was pounding at 5:30.  i'm finishing fun projects.   i cooked some onions, potatoes, carrots to add to frozen stew.  cooked sweet sour red cabbage.  ate pie and muffin.  and chips.
