lucid dream

I'm driving up the mountain, a long line of vars and trucks when we hit a patch of unpaved highway.  a fool guns it spinning rocks and dirt, we hang back 'til the dust clears and proceed with caution.  I can continue or find another road.  

I may be releasing my attachments to life.  one less responsibility.  

I went to Consumer Cell website down.  

Tuesday, July 29, 2025

I'm still pondering

listening to Kelly Howell Super Learning I feel peace.  I so enjoy the Disney puzzle.  I soaked in the tub at 10.  it's so nice to have Bonnie and Judy back at lunch.  Toke came early and left early.  she feels obligated.  Fred was late and sat next to Bonnie.  everybody likes sitting next to me.  I think it's the music.  

I'm still considering if I want email.  

chase sent a letter about requiring two step security.  hopefully it's for online not in branch.  maybe I'll call tomorrow maybe I won't.  HAH! 

I feel pretty good on 5 hours sleep.  I'm excited I don't know why.  don't need to know.  although I did buy a copy of Course in Miracles 2007 for $5 at Sunny yesterday.  my copy from 1985.  

Monday, July 28, 2025

I'm locked out of Safeway

and the Lucky's page is frozen.  

I called Consumer cell @1030 am and texting is extra $5/mo I said I'd think about it.  I started looking at how to text in manual 2021 Link II flip phone online website.  not too complicated.  I think.  I'll print pages tomorrow.  

Wheel is fine, YouTube.  

Sunday, July 27, 2025

I'm locked out of yahoo

they want me to pay for help support.  I don't have texting so I can't retrieve a code.  I'll deal with it tomorrow.  maybe I don't need email.

chrome went dark mode I changed it in settings.  I did it.

ramen

it's been years.  it kept me alive 2001 when I couldn't digest regular food.  then I advanced to chili and rice after much experimentation and pain.  today I added eggs and spinach and minerals.  

I don't feel like doing anything.  I don't want to rest or do laundry.  I know what I don't want to do.  

baking soda+sugar = no cockroaches on 'common knowledge'.  

Saturday, July 26, 2025

even machines need rest

I heated the $1.25 tuna Mac from $tree for b'fast.  OK.  I'm feeling depressed again.  I'm feeling lonely.  I've spent my life alone amidst people.  they imprisoned me with their cruelty and isolation.  that's how I was trained.  I've been retraining myself.  I feel sad and painful.  my body pain is my family history.  it's a record of the pain, physical and emotional abuse I've suffered.  family pressure to perform for them.  Toke too.

I went to Walmart paid PGE and picked up beets and Co Q.  Prune Lucky's had lots of free hot sauce I loaded $ and it took my $.  The lesson is to load it in store.  new set up Walmart and Lucky's.  no clearance sections.  

Home Safeway I bought max 24 10 cent ramen clearance dark chock almond $4 and relaxing gummy $12.  then St Just lunch and library hot spot.  

group of 5 young people maybe 20's came to puzzle table no clue how to solve and frantic no esteem.  the beard and long hair forgot his bag of movies came back as I was about to leave saved me from tracking them down.  

I completely forgot my yesterday lunch salad.  hot chili garbanzo spinach.  

Friday, July 25, 2025

yippee! new Sunny menu up

I've been waiting and checking everyday.  I printed & gave Toke a copy.

Lucky's free hot sauce none I can check Prune since I want to get gummy  Co Q 10 and beets at Walmart.  maybe tomorrow.  

I went to Safeway 10 cent ramen gone I got chips.  home 1:10 for my TV.  last night I watched Diane Warren documentary her Aspergers made me laugh and cry.  

I put a battery in the Target clock and put it back in the box for protection.  works great.  it's the first new clock not a second hand store.  

Thursday, July 24, 2025

I'm busy living

waiting for teeth cleaning at 2 pm.  

I'm feeling depressed and I'm aware.  I want this over with.  half an hour to clean and polish.  Whew!

I went to Target looking for wiper blades none I bought a battery wall clock.  

Wednesday, July 23, 2025

early morning best internet

wonderful easy puzzle too.  I feel guilty.  I feel so comfortable and pleasant.  mom made my life hell to feel better about her life rather than change or improve herself.  cruelty is easier for some.  makes me feel sick.

Tuesday, July 22, 2025

expiditiously

I love arriving early and relaxing.  I didn't get this from my parents who traditionally arrived early, fought and immediately returned home.  if it wasn't so sad it'd be funny.  comically tragic.  

new menus yesterday.  Sunny not yet.  for my anniversary I want something special.  

I considered pizza but the college store doesn't stock Hawaiian.  and I got a left over weird tasting lunch.  

Monday, July 21, 2025

I use my car to store things I don't want the sisters Creepy or Crawly to steal-Bartolo

I bought things I need and must have.  Garage back door unlocked.  not me.

I puzzled, left 25 green pieces.

lunch was me and Toke.  Walter picked up his salad and went home to wait for his yearly apt inspection.  still no Fred.  I had extra tamale pie.  

Sunday, July 20, 2025

lovely cool getting a lot done

I've been so depressed for so many years.  I can see results with Walter.  he makes up for Eric.  

I used stair climber tote and practiced folding it up.  I brought in 2 loads of water.  I used shopping therapy to get me by.

mourning change-Bonnie and mom Judy

every change is a death of the past.  acknowledging is respect.  

Gym 2 - 150 ECR 94087, back end cap ethnic aisle 18 has Lilikoi Kombucha $5.  I found the frozen roasted sweet corn and Hawaiian pizza.

I drove to Homestead, Cup, looking for freebie too late.  bought orange cream coke uncommonly delicious, cornbread, mini chips 2/$1, frozen sweet grilled corn, Hawaiian pizza.  home 4:15 cooked pizza ate for lunch dinner.  added oregano.  

Bonnie was at St Just her mom Judy in hospital high blood pressure.  

Friday, July 18, 2025

love, peace, happiness-Bill & son Dan still truckin' from St Clare thnxgiving dinner

my achy, breaky body.  it's been a challenge re-habing my body.  every day a little bit.  

@ Lucky's I picked up free Culture Pop prebiotic soda and bought 2 clearance salads $2 ea, almond croissants, tortilla chips 2/$3.  came home to put groceries away.  seniors 7:30 am.

my hot spot is ready to pick up by 26th, Sunny due back 27th.  Yay!!  'Igor' pick up by 25th county.

Walter chose to have lunch with big Gloria.  so good to socialize.  

I stopped at a garage sale Fordham afraid I'd see some Aiko stole.  I'm OK.  Clear.  home 12:45.

childhood flashbacks

intrusive memories of mom burning me.  when I was maybe 8 one of the grandparents died and she suddenly became religious.  she set up a Shinto alter and used me to expiate everyone's sins by putting incense on my hand and lighting it in some ritual.  if I moved or made a sound she's start all over.  I learned to detach to survive earning her labeling me inhuman when she was the monster.  

so when Walter suffers I understand.  that's what hurts me regarding Eric's tragic death.  the torture he suffered as a child continued til it killed him.

I have such a stress headache from my neck.  

Tuesday, July 15, 2025

great to feel great

I'm so relaxed.  I started new puzzle someone set out.  one we did years ago.  like an old friend.  

watching commercials about homeless kids reminds me of how terrified I was to sleep.  I had a toy derringer I slept with under my pillow.  I was systematically terrorized.  mom would scream and slap me as a joke.  and I'm still terrorized.  my sister would lie in wait to ambush me.  Mitzi did it to her kids too.  

Monday, July 14, 2025

2 days rest my back feels great

cars are the downfall of civilization.  pollutes the planet, encourages obesity, false sense of superiority.  we can't live without them.  

pretty perfect.  Toke was very late.  Melvin reminded me Fred and Debbie drove to visit family up north.  the fish was OK.  dinner was lunch corn I added to cooked rice and 2 eggs.  Walter sat next table new friends.  I'm so proud of him.  

Sunday, July 13, 2025

watching my movies and game shows

I am content.  I have canned food and lots of chips.  

and city and county have 'Igor' again.  

I started cleaning up my major depression.  for the last 8 years I haven't done anything.  let everything lay where it fell.  I retrieved the bracelet hiding from me from 2 weeks ago.  my motivation.

'Millers' is so funny.  lol.  a wonderfully dysfunctional vengeful family not genetically connected to me.  ha ha.  

Saturday, July 12, 2025

I don't know

I just do the best I can.  I'm having electrical problems with the battery clock and slow internet.  my Safeway pages assume I'm a bot.  

I tried the Sunnyvale Dell chrome same problem with Safeway pages.  maybe due to Saturday freebie.   and I bless my Sunny Dell book ordeal.   I looked for my blog and couldn't find it on Google.  I had to go to blogspot.  

my back is demanding new behavior.  I never knew relaxation or freedom or peace.  my back forced me to leave my family behind or die.   mom always complained she never had nice things when she destroyed them.

Diabetes is all about not deserving the sweetness of life.  Diabetes = too much sweetness = death.  Diabetes and cancer feed off anger.

free Mela drink-new lunch helper Sariah

watermelon passion fruit.  

Good Vibes.   I feel good, do do do do do do do.  Aveeno wash makes me so smooth.  

1 pm no phone coverage must be sun storms.  chrome weird jumping weird.  

Thursday, July 10, 2025

'I honor my feelings'

I filled the tank @ Costco 50 after checking prices yesterday.  same both locations.  so much easier to drive.  

I'm paying more attention to everything or practicing.  I'm learning to take everything slowly.  I took pride in my speed.  

WHEW!!  Chromebook is safe.  The hold is filled and Cody brought my request and sent back the county movie.  I was resigned.

Tuesday, July 8, 2025

still feeling weird

like babies before next step.  I didn't sleep 'til after midnight.  could be the amount I did leading to restless back without discomfort.  

I may have to turn the chrome in 75 copies at central 36 hot spots .  36 chrome and 61 hot spots at Sunny.  amazing.

came home to rest.  wisdom.  weirdness continues.  'Community' listed as season 1 is actually 6th final season.   

my lifelong anxiety has run my life.  and I dropped the strawberries and didn't react.  I can make more.  I used squeegee to clean it up easy.  

Toke had a shiner she said she fell in the house.  that's why I don't walk to Nob hill.  I'm unsteady since the car incident.  

Monday, July 7, 2025

7/7/7

so far so good.  after seniors I drove to Cupertino library to renew my card and remembered Star 1 deposit.  I'm feeling anxious.  I've always felt anxiety just suppressed my feelings.   I realized at Cup I returned a movie to Cody.  

driving home I stopped America's Tires for air check only 2 lbs ea. woo hoo.  another onerous responsibility.  

ate Sprouts bear claw so superior to Lucky's I can't eat anymore.  I tried the lasagna soup too spicy.  

Sunday, July 6, 2025

I woke wondering I forgot my games-picked up new hot spot 6 weeks

never entered my mind yesterday.  I needed glucosamine bought 12 $anta Clara and white board and cheese puffs.  I forgot St Justin no lunch came home tired.  I ate entire cheese puffs.  good for my soul.  

and today I was 'don't think just do' so showered at 24 and 10:30 hungry  here I am waiting on Sunny open 1 pm.  I knew yesterday I had a spot but I wanted to stay home.  life is so easy in the flow.  

BK has wi-fi and crispy tacos.  so good.  my reward for paying Citibank and City's weird zero balance when the bill says $177.28 due in 2 days.  

I've been here Sunny an hour feels like 5.  

3:13 playing on Hindu puzzle man trashed it- time for something different.  

free Safeway drink I planned on Maria last second detoured to Gym 2 bought my 2 get 3 free chips and coupon free dip.  The checker gave me free drink only certain flavors.  Sprouts clearance half peach pie, almond bear claws, stevia.  

Friday, July 4, 2025

free drink at Lucky's

parked at 24 good because of holiday I walked store for sale almond croissants, strawberries.  back to 24 showered and internet.  back to Lucky's I used $2 coupon for ice cream and bought 8 PC/$5.99 sale fried chicken, 2/$4 frozen dinners.  lunch was chicken and fresh strawberries.  

Wednesday, July 2, 2025

still no spot

 I'm happy puzzling.  I played 'til 10 then soak and stretch.  lunch OK Walter and Salome holiday stressed picking nits.  I refuse.  

I decided to mail life insurance and withdraw Chase then home for games.  

Tuesday, July 1, 2025

I started QE2 puzzle

may be missing pieces.  

I'm still waiting for a hot spot.  I'd like to have it for the 4th.  

I'm wearing all denim shirt and skirt.  comfy.  

Monday, June 30, 2025

paid water

I bought my blueberry almonds limit 4.  I never noticed before.  I have 2 at home.

I'm slowly filling tabs regaining settings.

I snagged abandoned side salad and home I used buffalo chicken and Asian dressing.  

Saturday, June 28, 2025

I'm still struggling

on checking my Emails I forgot to pay Discover new due date 23.  12:37 pm paid.  

I came to library to enjoy the cool from projected 88 degrees.  I drove back way through Kaiser and huge dark SUV changed lane sped up to HHONNKK at me and I didn't care.  I had planned on chips pick up at Safeway but diverted to St Just for lunch pick up.  I was early enough for a weekend bag from Sandy and Chris.  

library online I had free soda at Safeway.  I went for pick up and I needed my phone to pay Discover.  and this morning I'm preparing for thank you to my Christmas cousins.  

I feel I've turned a corner.  

I sat for an hour before I remembered I brought my purple pillow.  

3:50 program crashed I successfully recovered Email and blog before having to leave closing.  

Friday, June 27, 2025

memories/flashbacks/PTSD

1976 I became agoraphobic afraid I'd kill myself and take out an innocent.  I didn't know about my suicide heritage I was just reacting to my abusive neglectful marriage.  

last two nights lucid dreams of castle/mansion with waterbeds and vaulted ceilings.  and a silent kitchen remodel while I slept.  I'm being cared for I need not worry.

Thursday, June 26, 2025

no Lawrence Lucky's eggs

none shipped no rain checks.  eh.  I bought cucumbers and tomatoes and clearance almond croissants.  

my back is so much better using the purple pillow.  lunch with Gloria, Fred, Toke, Walter.  it's nice Fred is giving Walter a remote control drone and solar panel.  

I was depressed the chrome sipped off my cart and was dragging on the pavement shaved a bit of the corner off.  I felt an idiot.  I continued on to Prune ridge Lucky's to check clearance and bought 2 dozen sale eggs and mini clearance lemon pie.  I feel better.  a winner.  and I redeemed tickets I have over $16.  

Wednesday, June 25, 2025

48/61 Sunny hot spots added 25

whew!  so I paused central 43/36.

I get to really play.  no rules.  my rules.  queen of my universe.  

Tuesday, June 24, 2025

7:09 am

thriving from surviving.  I woke to more paranoia about car insurance suit.  family fallout.  

I finished the geode puzzle.  all there.  soothing 2 hours with music.  

Monday, June 23, 2025

living

thriving or surviving.  I keep suggesting to Walter to journal.  the first step in releasing the past.  get the trauma out of the body the mind outside to separate, the first step to release.  he refuses to try declaring it won't help.  if you don't try it never works.   the only way to stay stuck.  his choice.  he wants to feel badly.  

Friday, June 20, 2025

Panera egg bacon $8

and $2 chocolate croissant.  Lucky's free Colombe 12 oz cold brew.  3 light salt chips $7.50 and 2 free clearance Cole slaw kits.  2 game tickets.  overcharged me $1 salads.

co incidence "keep calm and carry on" answer on both The Chase and Jeopardy.

Juneteenth=Freedom

freedom is a mental as well as physical condition.  

oh, I make myself laugh.  yesterday I walked all over couldn't figure where I put my rinsed lunch utensils and they were in my coffee cup the entire time.  retraced my steps, looked in the car.  I'd worry but I've been attention deficit my entire life a good thing I can't hold a grudge, impossible.  I can't remember it.  trauma is a body memory nothing to do with the mind.  

I'm resting my back.  using my pillow.  watching my game shows.  

Wednesday, June 18, 2025

Tuesday, June 17, 2025

I love the geode puzzle

very relaxing.  beautiful colors.  

I'm sitting in my car after lunch and still have internet.  

Sunday, June 15, 2025

guard was sitting in my chair I don't want attention

I decided last minute on library when I remembered Father's Day fewer people.  that's why St Justin's closed yesterday.  

I threw everything I need to repair sass skirt into shoe box.  I feel so efficient.  and I fixed the Velcro bite.

and I feel sad dad was not my father just a sperm donor.  I never understood why mom told me I was the mailman's child.  she said crazy things.  so when she told me I was crazy I knew she was crazy.  

just makes me sad.  

Saturday, June 14, 2025

unplanned day-all Sprouts CBD on clearance discontinued 99-$1.19

oh, what a day.  10 am I went to St Just closed.  I drove to Sprouts enjoyed walking store bought clearance kid's ham cheese $4.19, water, applesauce,  Uglies too much sugar BBQ chips, cookie and CBD grapefruit seltzer.  better bag lunch than seniors.  

Surprise!  since I was close I went to shower @ seniors and Aging Fair by Source wise.  I share CBD info and Young man's father just had knee surgery wanted to try.  got lots of info and toys.  talked to Toke, Trudy Kenny made Toke take a free insulated lunch bag.  

I just say things and someone needs to hear it.  

BLISS!  I'm installed upstairs at Central, feet up sitting on my purple pillow entering my sweeps.  I ate my lunch, puzzled a bit and now I'm digesting.  I'm using more of my toys having more fun.  Scary as it is.  I'm afraid something terrible will happen.  like the car collision and now insurance. 

3:30 started leaving for Safeway for sale fried rice and sweet sour chicken, salad mix, free propel 20 oz drink, and clearance $2.50 8 X 8 cornbread.  home 5 pm for Idiot Test.  

9 pm watching Lon Chaney Jr 'Son of Dracula' and James Brown biopic 'Get on Up'.  

Friday, June 13, 2025

free drink Lucky's

I'm still stunned.  our liberties are evaporating like in Germany.  I'm practicing my heil Trump.  and seniors are business as usual.  oblivious.

Thursday, June 12, 2025

7:10 am sore stomach muscles

the nerves coming back online.  Walter asked about my back and why I go straight home he was happy my back is killing me.  Sick!  no Toki only Fred.

Horrible.  TMZ doesn't get Trump loving people suffering in Les Miz.  Trump took over the Kennedy Center chairman of the board packing it like the Supreme Court.  how can they be so blind?  Trump loves people suffering all people.  in that he's democratic.  he wants to see everyone suffer.

and they're shocked to see Senator Alex Padilla disrespected.  where have they been?  Trump has been testing the country incrementally getting away with more and more a dangerous toddler in charge.  Trump is testing with California to see how much he can take over and dissolve democracy.  California is litmus paper.  I fear for Governor Newsom.  I'm very afraid for all of us.

Wednesday, June 11, 2025

I'm not happy

I'm waiting on mountain time.  Letter Of Representation.  2 voice mails Stephen Kohlwaeis said standard computer letter he'll let me know when he finds out anything.  as soon as I go to do something after waiting for his call he calls.  the collision makes me feel the universe hates me like my family taught me.  I'm unlearning.

lunch was interesting.  Fred packed his lunch and took off, Toki was late, Walter sat with Inge.  he's a pope always pontificating.  except for them I'd lunch at Sunny.  Toki said Yu Ai Kai going up to $5 on July 1.  

Tuesday, June 10, 2025

the pollution from Canadian wildfires hurting my stomach-CSAA letter

and therefore my back.  it's all connected as much as people compartmentalize to understand life in bits.  oh my nose, throat, stomach and back.  

I wonder how the Canadians are doing.  

after tub my back is screaming.  feels broken.  my stomach is cramping like 1972 and 2001.  I'm sipping grapefruit to ease the acid.  my feet are two blocks of ice from pinched nerves poor circulation.

and it's worse.  I got letter from CSAA Stephen Kohlwaies regarding last year's car incident they determined over 51%=100% fault.  what it means I don't know the effect on my insurance.  

I cooked noodles to pamper my stomach with broth.  my eyes are burning and I'm coughing.  

Monday, June 9, 2025

so sleepy bad air lack of oxygen

back to work.  I checked gas prices same 95050 opens at 5 am 95051 at 6 am.  

my toe nail appears to be correcting.  it looks spatulate like mom's.  only half so it's healing from car incident year and half ago.  

Sunday, June 8, 2025

amazing

I dressed and relaxed.  new behavior going to Nob Hill.  no clearance, none, nada, nothing.  I entered my contests and bought frozen green peas and 2 burritos.  

Saturday, June 7, 2025

9 am around end parking 24 hour

I had a desire for spaghetti o's bought 4 at $ tree.  

on to St Justin I saw Gloria whose dad died 2 weeks ago when he went into the hospital 3rd time.  she's hanging in keeping busy walking for her life.  

internet is spotty due to aurora effect.  frustrating.  

Sunnyvale library 4 pm pick up then on to Nob Hill 95014.  huge store.  they have more flavors.  bought sweet sour, pork fried rice, salad mix.  5 miles home 5:26 pm Idiot Test.  I cooked everything using the microwave it was delicious and easy.  I ate fruit tart while 'cooking.'  heaven.

did too much without my purple pillow in the main library.  back too stressed tonight.  

Friday, June 6, 2025

7:45 too early #10

#1 opened after I'd parked.  I considered re parking, nah.   

I have until 9:30 then Cup library for pick up.  I entered my games.  I walked Lucky's, redeemed 3 tickets and bought cucumber 99 cents.  I'm feeling mellow.

sitting waiting 9:53 Cup library I remembered I wanted to renew my car registration using the kiosk at Cup Safeway and I bought my$5 Friday  fruit tart.  and looking through Nob Hill ad I have 'til 10th for Innovasian sale fried rice $6.99 in Mountain View.  

11:17 lunch was OK.  Fred saved the table, Walter arrived before Toke, Salome was last.  we got ice cream.  left overs from some function so they can charge the senior program.  I know accounting.  

Thursday, June 5, 2025

bit by bit-yesterday seems a lifetime ago

I'm ready planning a new life.  I was overly tired last night.  exhausted and restless.  then I remembered how much I accomplished.  today I showered and stretched then walked Lucky's bought almond croissants.  started to redeem bonus points Rosemary clerk only 3 tickets at a time.  The checkout line got all backed up.  another day.  

I love meditating on world peace.  lunch was OK.  Fred gave me half of the Korean nasi goreng.  looked like dog food tasted eh.  Salome and Walter are the same flock.  Toke seemed happier than usual.  

I fell asleep halfway through People Puzzler.  I'm organizing my toys.  I love playing with my toys.  Watching Person Place or Thing Melissa Peterman and Leah Remini are so supportive of their contestants.  that's what I miss from Wheel and Jeopardy.  Ryan is easily intimidated and Ken is arrogant.  Pat likes people and Alex knew his answers were furnished.  

Wednesday, June 4, 2025

8 am good parking @ gym-mailed fit test-banking-laundry

I'm ambling.  I mailed my fit test, withdrew Chase, deposit *1, and Lucky laundry 1.1 mi.  $4.75 for 2-3 load machine.  

lunch better than usual.  at least mine was.  I got extra potatoes and later veg.  maybe she holds back because a lot of people toss food.  Fred saved table 7 miming to me he was so early.  they opened door 11:07.  they make it harder.  jen, amber, hilda.  they keep insisting no new lunch applicants when I know Sunny is still accepting.  

I took my time made 3 trips with heavy wet wash.  I just remembered i have chips in my storage.  

Tuesday, June 3, 2025

7:45 gym-Divine Order-DO

pondering laundry and how it's a 'new' concept.  all the 'modern conveniences' that are incinerating and poisoning the planet.  and making gymnasiums necessary.  and the subsequent distorted bodies.  

and thinking of neighbor Josie R not liking the senior center.  I felt an affinity because mom had Kaiser mandatory classes there after her suicide 'mistake'.  

I'm binge watching New Tricks.  I've gotten to the changing of the guard.  they went off to act in other projects.   


Monday, June 2, 2025

I took yesterday as my day of rest

I pondered many things to do and stretched and rested.  

today my new behavior lunch at Sunny.  never on a Monday.  my 3rd time.  so many garlicky people.  so many kind courteous characters.  so many Asians.  feels more like Hawaii.  the whites here actually like Asians.  Santa Clara feels prejudiced.  after a lifetime I know prejudice.  prickles my skin.

today I sat by the door to watch the procedure.  we get a place mat and metal utensils and Melmac coffee cup.  5 piece band at 10.  it's nice to listen to music r/t complaints or 'god ain't it awful's.  I feel so relaxed despite the halitosis.  lunch was good.  sole, couscous, roasted sweet and purple potatoes, mixed veg.  Unfortunately insanity Claus sat opposite thinking he's a comedian.  he insisted all he thinks about is food, what's for dinner.    

home 11:40 after music done 11:30.  plenty of game shows.  

Saturday, May 31, 2025

sitting at seniors-new behaviors for a new life

I learn so much from watching people.  the quest to be first in line.  I prefer no line.  

I was watching New Tricks and the segment on hypnosis reminded me.  the most productive gift I ever gave myself.  Palo Alto School of Hypnotherapy.  Josie Hadley as many others punish themselves.  it's what they know after a childhood of abuse.  she didn't unlearn, instead trying to conquer the past.  fighting never suffices.  fighting continues an opposing energy.  simple Newtonian physics.  Acceptance and Forgiveness for all concerned is the only lasting solution. 

I puzzled, pondered, entered my contests.  I decided no pool.  I showered and went to college Safeway for Saturday freebie.  I must have been depressed last week.  I'm living for myself.  family would harass and harangue me as selfish.

reading People magazine I know why King Charles refuses Harry and Meghan security protection; he's sacrificing them as Princess Diana's replacements.  Charles is being vindictive.  

Friday, May 30, 2025

I picked up free Ardor 12 oz energy drink and Pringles-paid Citibank-Sunny lunch 9:30 Armando

I don't know what I'm doing following Spirit but then I never have known what I'm doing.  and I've always listened and danced.  huh, I never thought of it before I've always danced to the beat of a different drummer.

I showered, parking 8 am #2 space at 24 hour wi-fi.  after Lucky's free drink, sale Pringles, almond croissants I drove to Citibank paid statement and ATM couldn't print receipt.  I tried 6 times.  

I never know what I want to do until I get there and do it now.  I used to have to report my plans to the family in case I was needed.  Toke grills me sometimes.  

today lunch isn't full.  maybe 55 people lots of empty places.  food so much better here I canceled Monday's pick up bag lunch for Sunny hot.

feeling anxious over tomorrow

today program of hazardous waste disposal.  important to living and breathing.  and the rude people who don't care talking so no one can hear.  so disrespectful.  I can understand wanting Chinese people to go back to where they emigrated from.  they come here to be rude.  I don't like it.

and I'm OK

I sat in the car writing bills.  I arrived seniors 6:40 am and people waiting at doors.  

I expect the worst.  I need to make it wurst.  I've been trained to prepare for disaster.  I was the first responder in my family.  

I thought today was Thursday.  once I calmed myself in the tub I realized I'm a day ahead.

new record 7 minutes to seniors

I woke with an empty space in the pit of my stomach.  I don't know if it's new or more likely freshly discovered.  discovered uncovered.  I think I've had it a long time.  not always.  I pondered taking my purple pillow try w/o it.  

stomach vacuum is a real thing.  I googled it.  it's similar to the Richard Hittleman Lion exercise.  3 weeks to results.  

lunch OK.  Fred and Toke got the alternate meal.  I waited 20 minutes for cucumber salad.  Hilde like mom loves playing food games.  

home 12:30.

Maria safeway

I surrender to due diligence.  didn't find anything I wanted so onto gym 2 Safeway nothing.  Cup still nothing.  after driving and walking 9:30 on to Walmart via Sunny.  I drove Fair Oaks to Tasman Grocery Outlet.  I used to shop on a regular basis.  after Eric died I lost all interest in everything.  it's like I died.

I figured out why Mission Walmart is a stretch.  I don't like driving the expressway, through town is more comfortable less boring.  I bought my Co Q and A reds.  home 10:30.

I feel weird.

leisurely library-forgot free soda

I'm learning how to live relaxed.  scary.  I'm afraid of losing my edge.  I slept 12 hours reminding me of the 8 years bed ridden.  The library is my heavenly haven.  I didn't bring eyeglasses so no puzzling.  

life's difficult without prior experience.  I've never had a confidante only saboteurs.  I have to learn this like everything else in my life alone.  

best memorial weekend 70-71 degree.  stores open tomorrow.  I will continue relaxing.  

home 4:22.  I used home Safeway internet.  I bought cheeses, olive bread, clearance drinks no freebie, no almonds flavors I wanted, salad mix.  I'm feeling rich.  I may check the superstore tomorrow.  

Saturday, May 24, 2025

I walked nob hill 7 :30-returned hot spot

too early for seniors.  I bought star kist chicken 2/$3 and Mac cheese.  I soaked seniors then St Just closed I drove to Cup and visualized shady parking.  success.  

I'm pondering what I want for lunch.  I'm excited for the Monday holiday.  I am unlimited.

Sunny library Hula dancers 11 am.  Twice.  Hmm..  my taste in clothing styles comfort = the hula costumes.  big school.  lots of kids lots of costume styles.  I returned hot spot.  

Sunny Dollar Tree I bought nugget and fries, glucosamine, tuna salad, mouthwash.  

home 1 pm I toasted Toke corn pudding bread and nuked nuggets fries.  2:30 nap attack I woke 4:45 from a lovely deep restorative sleep.  just in time for Idiot Test.  

Friday, May 23, 2025

I can be done

2 freebies at G Lucky's garlic I can't believe it's not butter and 16.9 oz recover drink.  I got watermelon this time.  I got ads for Toke and me.

I'm freshly showered.  I have my raw almonds snack.  I'm pondering what I want to do.  a mighty power is desire.  what I want.  

today's final health fair for this year.  so many goodies.  best water bottle ever, mirror, clip on refillable sanitizer.  lunch wonderful hula dancers I did the hukilau.  I answered the largest island question for a bag of treats.  Toki didn't want any gave us mini apple pie, Fred took a biscotti.  

I automatically tuned to Happy's Place-Reba McEntire.  

Thursday, May 22, 2025

feeling surprisingly well

I slept 11:30 pm watching "New Tricks" I missed 2003 first year due to my exploratory surgery.  I didn't have cancer Kaiser removed a 32 year old cyst encapsulated Ex bacteria that poisoned me.  part of my bed ridden experience.  and twice in emergency from dehydration.  3 hour IV and catheter.  

I figured out what upsets me with Walter he's like dad not taking his attitude seriously.  I'm serious about having fun.  too much of life has been a disaster.  dis aster=separated from the stars.  refusing heaven.  I plan for success.  he's afraid of failing and won't even try.  as long as you keep trying success is guaranteed.  you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

I'm #1

Walter is full of excuses.  during lunch he regaled Gloria with the horrors of his dad's death while her dad is in hospital again.  lunch is her respite from care taking.  I explained to him again if he cares for his friends he must use discretion.  he wants to remain a selfish child with no regard for others living a directionless life.  he has excuses and misdirection.  I give up.  

he prides himself on being smart and acts stupid as cuteness.  he doesn't want happiness he needs to be content.

Faith

 I explained to Walter the importance of spending time around conducive people.  our bodies evolved to live in groups.  we need proximity to remain healthy and sane.  chickens are no substitute.  he's not a chicken.  reminds me of Jonathon Livingston Seagull

Lisa's treat-Sylvia lunch buddy-BBQ Sat 31 at 6:30

half hour early I went to homes Safeway for free drink wouldn't load I asked to speak to manager who over rode computer $2.59 and I bought BBQ and classic chips.  

St Justin senior lunch and bingo.  Jane, Ron, Ed, Victor from senior center.  I felt at home.  Costco Alfredo chicken, roll and butter, Cesar salad.  I forgot about left overs for dinner.  I won $4.  2 two dollar pots.  I feel my hard work is paying off.  everyone deserves such happiness.  

I did it.  I used my purple seat pillow.

1993 Cheers end

I'd quit working at the church, Mit got $50 for my choosing to work for her marketing company and mom swallowed dad's sleeping pills.  i didn't know he had any.  I completely missed the end of Cheers.  TV was my life model.  the only example of loving caring relationships.  

even though Kaiser sent mom to Valley Med then to a hospital on Alameda de Las Pulgas family denied the entire event.  4 against me just like always.  saying mom 'accidentally' swallowed an entire bottle of pills.  it was a 'mistake'.

my life with them was a series of fires I was constantly putting out.  and now due to inattention or denial the entire planet is burning up.  

ironic.  and now to decide on lunch.  I have an unopened box of Ensure.  and a banana.  

Saturday, May 17, 2025

observing at the library-Charity and Sandy lunch

I'm still processing.  I haven't been this healthy since maybe EVER.  my body feels wrecked but emotionally I'm better.  

my allergies are terrible.  I was good at seniors, Valley Village Jumble, St Just and suddenly at central could be book dust from sale.  

I decided to use Sunny coupon expires Monday.  2:30 pm found $2 Herriot book, 3 DVDs.  tomorrow St Just lunch 1:30.  Sprouts pumpkin and cherry pies.  home perfect timing Idiot Test.

Friday, May 16, 2025

free Peace tea

Mauna Loa clearance at Lucky's and $3 cornbread under cooked.  I can cook that.  I went to Santa Clara Costco gas saved $2.50 and rewarded myself eating treat in car.  8:30 space #1 opened I moved my car.  I used hair quinoa mask all over face so smooth in shower.  

today's health fair handicapped parking half parking gone.  Fred came 10 smart.  lunch was pretend mash potatoes and pretend meat loaf.  Toki was happy all the oranges.  Trudy and Kenny, Fred last.  no Walter last.  walked 20 minutes all tables then talked with Walter.  home 12:59.  Idiot test.  

Thursday, May 15, 2025

at last-Kelly Howell Exalted music

better late than never.  I feel differently.  better or worse I don't know.

Thomas lunch buddy gave me a puzzle full of debris he gave up assembling.  I looked at it trying to figure out the difficulty and finally realized the pictures of the puzzle were printed backwards except for one small image on the back that proclaimed actual picture of finished puzzle.  Why would anyone do that?

I'm doing my due diligence.  

Valley Village Jumble tomorrow Fri 1-5, Sat 10-3.

Ron let everyone know Sydney Marchack passed 2/4 at valley med.

my happy childhood

never too late.  Walter is using TENS to manage his pain.  he's taking control.  I told him creating heaven is hard without prior experience.  hell is everywhere.  many examples.  heaven is specific and personal and hard because it's new.  

back to being late.  cutting it close Toki, Fred and Walter.  one day is better.

Tuesday, May 13, 2025

6:21 went to Nob Hill

mom's 24th death a versary.  woke early and walked the store like the week she swallowed dad's bottle of sleeping pills.  I didn't even know he had any.  I drove her to 3 grocery stores she walked and didn't buy anything.  driving home she asked if I knew dad's dad hung himself I pulled the car over and stopped.  she stared out the passenger window totally disconnected.  I never noticed before my parents were always disconnected.  from reality.  I started researching suicide at 16 without any idea.  

like people today.  the planet is burning up.  we're burning the planet and it's business as usual.  people are wasting and polluting like there's no problem.  no price to pay tomorrow.

Walter came 11:35 just after Toki.  awesome.  they beat Fred.  Walter complained yesterday he sat by himself when he came late and all the seats were taken.  I chose a different table today lots of room.  Toki and Walter appreciate how hard it is to sit together.  I consider the lunch company as important to good digestion as nutrition.  vitamin L for laughter.  I remembered to tell Walter about my improved sleep using purple car seat cushion.  he argued he had a memory foam topper.  I pointed out it wasn't working.  LOL.  he argues to keep his pain, doesn't work with me.  he can keep his pain and he can't complain.  I don't argue.  everyone deserves what they want.  

and now "Young Frankenstein."

Monday, May 12, 2025

getting close

watching Harry Potter helps me process my sadness.  a lifetime takes care.  I want clear total healing.  

9 am it was pouring rain 11 dry as a bone.  I cut my soak short to close my car window.  lunch with Fred and Toki forgot comics first time.  

BONUS!  I found box of dark chocolate liquors left at lunch line.  49/64.  exp 8/3/24 booze dried up.  still delicious.  

Bartolo and Della put in 2 hours.  

Sunday, May 11, 2025

moved my car for clean up

I was concerned Todds took up my space I couldn't see from driveway to back out.  van in front moved, black multi still in middle.  I don't want to lose my parking spot to go to the library.  10 degrees cooler today.

I prepped and cooked asparagus.  even more delicious after soaking overnight.  plump, juicy and tender.  I snapped into bite size pieces reserving tips.  nuked 4 minutes tossed in tips for residual heat perfection.  and I have stems for trimming or tossing.  my decision.  I trimmed some stems and ate them raw filled me up.

half an hour of heaven for breakfast.  creating heaven takes practice, commitment, dedication.  you have to really want it.  

I'm crying for the unloved baby 2001 when mom died.  they constantly betrayed and abandoned me.  they lacked the ability to love, resented me for their failures.  the days counting down fill me with dread.  

I just realized the cover of release guilt is the oil I painted before 1988.  reminded me of Nora Gemini Books and now she has Angel star.  WOW!


Saturday, May 10, 2025

depression as a way of life

my family traditions of alcoholism and suicide.  alcoholism is self medicating, trying to make living tolerable.  not knowing.

I kept watching and re watching 'Genie' Melissa McCarthy missing the message until Bernard sets her free.  thousands of years a captive genie.  me and Walter.  learning to be free.  

I'm feeling glum and today's daily word Joy.  I puzzled then soaked at seniors and decided to try St Justin early.  long line at 10.  I waited picked up sandwiches and weekend bag.  library lots of cars 10:30.  LEGO day.  

kids make me laugh.  

I stopped DNA repair and I'm listening to Kelly again.  puzzle here isn't interesting or pretty.  so I'm reading GUT HEALTH.  it amuses me that everyone thinks it's one thing when I know it's a combination that varies person to person.  chiropractics matters.  

OK I decided I wanted county movies parked in courier spot 4.3 miles.  then feeling good I picked up Sunny and walked Sprouts nothing for dinner I drove to G Lucky's for frozen fried rice and asparagus.  YUM!!  no parking in front I used my driveway.  I expected neighbors to take advantage.  I put out tom's lawn mower.

Friday, May 9, 2025

whew! started to panic

I picked up free drink and almond bear pastry $3/from 7.

seniors I didn't have the spot charger.  I started to freak out and calmed myself down.  I can buy another, probably at home which it was.  

I puzzled, showered, my legs and hips heavy, stiff and painful.  

lunch salmon was good.  weirdest wild rice I ever ate.  no asparagus brussel sprouts substitute yech.  mini Cesar salad.  strawberry ice cream no strawberries and cream.  Walter showed up early with excuses.  I chose a different table due to the early influx and Toki's late arrival.  Fred complained when he was late and missed the first serving and had to wait.  he thinks getting there at 11:30 when serving begins won't take him 10 minutes to clear the line silly boy.  

I walked the health fair and with the excitement I was exhausted.  I napped 3-4.  

13th coming up.  I'm better able to process and heal my trauma and sisters' betrayal.  

Thursday, May 8, 2025

I'm feeling guilty for watching my shows

and feeling happy.  Walter is calming down.  I asked him to back off Nahyoung as a favor to me he's thinking about it.  Toki and he held our seats I was very late 11:45 last bingo exercise class I earned 34 wins = 2 bags, car tool, motion detecting rechargeable night light.  I feel rich.  Trudy and Ken even later.  I was too excited to eat turkey gravy.  mash and veg, mash sandwich perfect.  

not wearing a brace my back is screaming.  it's OK.  it's motivating me to keep moving.  

Wednesday, May 7, 2025

good puzzle

 I soaked late 9:30 and easier.  fewer people, quieter, more relaxing.  

Walter did it again.  he annoyed Nahyoung and Jennifer ran front today.  he's making it toxic and poisoning himself.  he insists he's right bullying her and refusing to see it.  he's doing the same as his dad.  

wheel is not updating.  huh.  

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

feeling relaxed

I unbalanced my gym bag which fell over spilling my shampoos and I didn't care.  I'm getting back to being me.  I refuse to sweat the small stuff.  and most of life is small stuff.

Walter got into it with Nahyoung acting like a brat again.  he took off acting the bad boy as he was raised.  I've done what I can.  I let go and let God.

Monday, May 5, 2025

I'm praying Walter has a better life

 We deserve best.  praying for Walter, Eric, George is praying for myself.  

praying is constant.  electrical energy generated by our brains sending messages to the universe.  

destruction is chaos.  God created order.  Physics.

processing depression

this house has so much unaddressed sadness.  I'm releasing energy.  I had a neighbor at my Radio Ave apartment comment.  we are all electric magnetic fields.  

Saturday, May 3, 2025

WOW!! 7:49 done DW Guidance

I got in my car 7:37 decided to drive to Danny's recycle $5.11 then seniors.  I started puzzle, soaked 9 am.  drove to Sprouts chick salad .475 lb $2.42 and CU deposit Merriwest.  

I just learned I can charge my phone through the chrome.  I plugged it in and it works.  I checked deposit by phone.  

I rested my back 'til 2:30 went to $tree for chick nuggets crinkle fries and found chick sticks w/mac cheese.  bought 2 wire #2 glasses to replace plastic readers breaking from age.  Welch's 20 oz pineapple soda one time buy 163% sugar and 2 bad dyes.  delicious.  

I keep freaking out.  I woke depressed and hopeless residual family energy.  this house is soaked in bad feelings.  I'm calming myself.  

Epiphany-my mom blamed me for her feelings so she didn't live them.  she didn't take responsibility and doomed herself to always living with them.  this house is soaked in their fear and depression.  that's Walter's game.  he's so steeped in his depression he'd miss it.  he doesn't want to feel happy.  or he's happy with his feelings.

he prefers his pain.  I don't.  

Friday, May 2, 2025

done-my aching back

the pain takes my breath away.  I literally can't breathe.  from last year's car collision.  ricocheting up and down my spine.  I took 1 willow.  15-20 minutes better.  takes down inflammation.

I started exercising early, nothing else to do.  the tables are set up for the health fair for 4 Fridays.  so no room.  I'm hanging in the computer room.  I showered, biked 45 and stretched for half an hour.  

I'm looking forward to what today brings.  change is inevitable I may as well consciously choose my change.

Walter took 2 willow I offered.  works for me.  I stayed for the health fair playing vendor bingo visiting booths getting stamps.  

home for Idiot Test.  and picked up movies to return to Sunny.  

Thursday, May 1, 2025

Walter got mad-mom's b'day

Nahyoung pulled rank on him.  he was extremely late so she called him on it and he choose to make it an issue trying to get me to agree with him.  no no no if he ever wants to be happier.  he's behaving old school expecting a different outcome.  may 4 his dad's b'day.  then Hilde interfered of course it's what they do.  I told him to grow up or accept his life.  he complained he won't follow rules.

I want happiness.  I refuse to keep playing 'insanity.'  

my Thanksgiving miracle shoes are 5 1/2.  I thought I read 6 1/2.  

Wednesday, April 30, 2025

bingo exercise

my back is sore in a used way.  not feeling injured just fatigued.  I soaked, biked, stretched so by 1 pm I was tired.  home 2:30.  I napped watching TV.  

Tuesday, April 29, 2025

muscles unbound

I soaked, biked, stretched 2 1/2 hours.  

I located cover for CD.  I wasn't sure where I put it.  I put it in my glove compartment.  I want to keep it in chrome case.  

I can't believe it's Tuesday.  I'm freaking out.  mom's b'day and death day are here.  maybe Walter's OK.  he's had the benefit of my counseling I've had no one.  

Monday, April 28, 2025

I soaked stretched biked

my new regimen.  2 1/2 hours of fitness.  if I want to be pain free.  4 hours optimum condition Radio Av.  

3 pm after my games I went to Nob Hill and bought 4 blueberry almonds, 2 Mac, 2 meat, salad mix, chocolate drink I wanted, 4 Tina mini burritos.  

oohh, the chocolate drink is delicious.  I've been wanting chocolate soda.  I ate a green and brown burrito.  I had my beet and gummy.  

5-6 pm Idiot Test making my brain elastic.  

lunch I told Walter about the Gut Health book.  only about 5 pages of info and the rest repetition and case studies.  we all had sandwiches and relaxed.  I got a plate of leftover veg pasta glad I ordered a sandwich.   

I love that I don't have to watch Wheel unless I want.  

Sunday, April 27, 2025

Seabiscuit 2003-baby hummingbird gone

I missed it due to my fibroid tumor exploratory surgery.  dealing with the sisters criticizing and ambushing me.  threatening physically violent eviction.  then vowing to help me move.  CRAZY.  GOD knows I still feel brutalized.  I feel trampled by my sisters.  

I've denied my feelings avoiding thinking and feeling the constant pain embarrassment humiliation purposely created from my family.  I can't pretend anymore.  I'm forced to feel it.  

they made me the enemy to form them into a cohesive unit.  the same old blame game Trump and Hitler used to manipulate support to their causes to rally the troops.  fabricate a common enemy.  it works because of pack mentality, simple biology.  always has, always will.  

4 pm I put out trash bin and replaced the liner.  10 minutes outside I forgot to wipe off pollen =sinus headache.  5-7 pm Idiot Test.

I'll watch Tolkien 'War of the Rohhirim.'  

I'm feeling a little clearer.  

Saturday, April 26, 2025

I soaked and biked seniors (Mike's memorial)

I had no idea what I was going to do.  I brought in the lb of dried pinto beans and found 7 magazines to read on the bike.  I wore my mom's butterfly wings pin and moonstone bracelet.  

ugh 11:30 I feel sick like it's Aug 26 my anniversary.  waves of dread.  

drove to Legion debating where to park and Gloria showed up.  she spotted Toki who parked next to me.  we went in together it was OK.  I started to cry and composed myself.  they had a beautiful display of pictures of friends and family on vacations, a full life.  and a memento of a bottle opener just like Mike.  Party on.  lunch was by Gunther's restaurant on Meridian Av.  excellent BBQ Mike's favorite.  the music of our lives played in the background truly a celebration of life.  

at 2 I went to pick up holds at central and puzzled 'til closing at 4.  I remembered I wanted chicken nuggets from $ tree and batteries.  home for Idiot Test at 5.  I feel supported and nurtured for the first time in my life.  

Friday, April 25, 2025

it's raining in my heart

and today.  I picked up free 64 oz cucumber lime and bought strawberry hibiscus $2.50.  drove to remodeling Walmart a mess to pay PGE.  fewer OTC available.  my anthem card wouldn't work for beets so I called Felicia customer service.  she's checking and I can go to CVS, Walgreen, Safeway, Rite Aid.  it wasn't me it was the account.  habituated I'm so quick to self judge and criticize.  I'm recognizing and forgiving.   

I get to seniors and yesterday Mall let a woman take home a puzzle who chose Van Gogh.  left crap on the table.  I don't have to touch it.  I remembered Jodi's avocado perfectly ripe I shared with Fred and Toki.  left overs so minimal and not good.  Walter sat with Teresa I came home early.  hurray!  off the hook.

and Cup open 'til 9 I can take my time.  or tomorrow.  my shows preempted by NFL draft.  

I love my game shows more than sleep.  my peeps too.  Fred and Toki are just as anxious as I am about Mike's memorial tomorrow.  Whew!  makes me feel less wimpy.

Thursday, April 24, 2025

bliss

I do what I prefer when I prefer.

I'm noticing so much more.  as if I wore blinders before.  my autism. 

10 am I put my suit and towel in car Cody and bookmobile hooray!  car was covered in sycamore pollen I brushed it off and it kept dusting the car.  I fell asleep twice watching Idiot Test and woke refreshed. 

I drove to Sunny 6 pm Sprouts then library.  I considered Cup but found an interesting puzzle stayed 'til 9 closing.  

Wednesday, April 23, 2025

watching my game shows bliss

I'm finally living my life.  I do what I choose.  I don't take orders from family.  I'm listening to my mellow healing music.  and if I can't handle Mike's memorial I can leave.  

I started reading NOLO on wills and trusts.  the best part is going online printing pages.  

I soaked then biked half hour wanting more movement.  bingo exercise cancelled.  watching game shows is comforting.  

Tuesday, April 22, 2025

best ever trivia show 5-6 Sherrie Shepherd

I'm having a terrible emotional day.  Jessica at Discover waived my late fees.  

I'm crying for me and Eric, Mike, George.  Walter tried to appropriate my sadness.  Mike's service is this Saturday.  Walter tried to say he knew Mike.  NOPE.  not even close.  reminded me of Ella May.  

Monday, April 21, 2025

7 am Coleman Costco little traffic dime less/gal

I really am a new me.  I'm tired from fighting myself.  overweight people are tired from weightlifting 24/7.  the weight is our protection.  a moat, a barrier.  

fill up was so quick.  despite everybody left side gas tank.  

I washed the asparagus.  soaking overnight the easy way and leaving on the bands 'til I'm ready.  maybe cooked with sausage.  

Me Me Me.  

I'm teaching myself.  

Sunday, April 20, 2025

driving Easter Sunday even better than Superbowl

at the big cup Safeway I bought my chips and got my free water.  I forgot library closed.  I drove to Via Vico memories.

Saturday, April 19, 2025

I feel renewed senior center

Friday, April 18, 2025

55 degrees

Walter is very stressed and tried to dump it.  I'm not having it I refuse to keep him stuck.  

people saying it's going to rain but no forecast.  just clouds.  

I woman ed up and called Pandora Winn to offer help.  I was too sick surviving to process Eric's death.  Walter's problem May 4th coming up.

Wednesday, April 16, 2025

no more toxic situations

I've decided Monstro can have the nurses station.  I have the rest of the place.  I have the rest of the world.  people think Marie is crazy.  no crazier than the rest of us and she's basically good.  nothing like Monstro.  not mean or evil.  

Mallory fixed the puzzle blaming the cleaning crew I set her straight on Monstro bragging she does what she wants.  so I played.  bingo was challenging.  whew.  

Tuesday, April 15, 2025

my Monstro b'day

I forgot.  wow I'm better.  Monstro came looking for me when I wasn't at the puzzle table.  passing in the hall she called me a bitch so I echoed.  

Diane is not a friend.  she took Fred's seat then tried to trade for Toki's.  I don't like my loyalty being tested.  metro sexual offered her his meal she refused to let me have it.  I wasn't surprised.  she's consistently a provocateur.  an odd little ego game.

so home at 12:15.  Sunny has 'Wicked' ready.  I found Moana 2 too.  

I love watching people win money.  makes me happy.  

I cooked a pound of bacon very greasy 12 pieces.  I used the real estate newspaper section and 2 pieces of parchment paper 5 minutes on high and 25 on simmer to soak up the grease.    

I considered Sunny and I'm now full of bacon.  I ate tomato bacon sandwich.  so good.  I didn't miss the lettuce at all.

I decided to return county movies

beautiful full moon from sat.  and a lovely 54 degrees.  I drove up to the auto return and both closed.  I thought I'd have to drive around when I saw drop off .  so I got to the senior center at 6:45 perfectly.  

morning was good.  lunch I got extra mash and carrots.  then Witch was back on the puzzle table I left her saying she does what she wants.  fat SUV blocked me in I had to reverse to load my bag.  and on to my heavenly game shows.  I love people winning.

I looked up 8 Harry Potter movie collection.  Wicked available at Sunny tomorrow.  

Monstro at puzzle table after lunch.  "she goes where she wants."  I have a monster sister don't want another.  I went home 12:45 games I enjoy.

I've been journaling 50 years

I never had anyone.  and I can't miss what I never had.  yet I feel I'm missing something.  an emptiness.

I have things I plan to do get water from the car, put out the garbage bin, bring in fruit from the trunk.  I have to return overdue county movies.

I'm enjoying being.  I'm watching Hallmark movies about families comparing them to mine.  I never did that.  too conditioned not to question for fear of punishment.  

I tried to pay my city water bill online it said problem with the server.  I used my phone following instructions.  new behavior so stressful.  I'm exhausted.

umbrella light

Saturday I picked it up with a fancy glass perfume bottle at St Just lunch.  it works great.  3 way takes 4 AA batteries.  

I was locked out of my voice mail.  con cell changed protocol to Texas.  it was messed up.  I had to use spare to talk then Hunter had me shut off phone for half hour.  I don't know.  now it works no explanation.

I was soaking and a man reminded me of X

I was so allergic I started sneezing and my head filled up.  I was like that 'til my shower. 

I had tiny seafood salad and 2 extra pasta mine and Walter.  and home 1 pm for the kid idiot test.  so much fun.  Ben is gentle with kids.  he riffs on adults.

Library Shepherds Purse drying out

seniors I puzzled then I swam.  corner house by library yard sale again reminded me when Todd complained my 2 weeks.  I checked with city 6/year allowed.  I picked up St Just lunch.  Charity and Chris no weekend bags left.    I had completely forgotten rummage sale did a quick walk through.  

I finally realized I don't have to eat the bread I ate the meat and cheese.  and cookies.  I'll have turkey sand at home.

smoker's cough

I never smoked much, just enough to balance the absence of second hand smoke.  and now I have a smoker's cough.  I finally figured out the herbs I'm taking are removing toxins into my blood.  I have to remember to drink more water and get more rest.

I'm moving slowly

as long as I'm moving.  as Walt said 'keep moving forward'.  

I picked up salad 11:20 went upstairs group hung out half hour took my spot.  good SALA meeting, Bill explained CSAA responsible for insurance not me.  I don't have to hire an attorney unless I want to sue CSAA.  $2500 small claims.  accident guys shouldn't have threatened me.  

he explained courts charge filing fees for each motion.  that's why Susan Kanclier sent letters to Aiko re restraining order.  every year a new nuisance from the sisters kept me exhausted.

mourning doves

I didn't have the energy or inclination to process my family's betrayal before.  Glory has the physical ability to leave her family, I'm so jealous I can taste it.  I cried for us 'til 10:30.  I tried calling back Rosie at 8 when upset I wrote 9.  so I soaked to calm myself and called again at 9:30 to ask about 1) car accident referral to lawyers and 2) resolve inheritance advice.  Should I have held my sisters accountable?  would they go to jail for embezzlement?   

bread cast upon the waters.  I was sharing Ramadan dried dates and encountered 16 chocolate truffles.  YUM.

the vague sadness, anxiety, PTSD has been explained.

I feel sad thinking how many have blackened their souls

planning my lawyer meeting reminds me 2001 greedy sisters making my life beyond HELL.  Aiko standing over me claiming to be the devil.  CRAZY.

Karen Kuek reminds me of my greedy sisters.  I'll pray for us all.  I'm so tired I can't think.

first at G-Lucky's

I got the first free Garden 1 oz veggie sticks.  I walked the store.  they're so disorganized.  

I decided game shows are first, everything else scheduled around shows.  libraries weekends.  I love fun facts.  

Mallory is a Saboteur.  explains so much.  the b who trashed the puzzle was at the table after lunch, pieces thrown, coffee cup and phone, I asked did she read English she said yes and wasn't eating so she knew, then said she needed the outlet I pointed out the one next to the chair she sat in all morning.  a liar and ugly disrespectful cheat.  she's dead.  when I told Mallory she ignored me she's dead to me too.  like Jess not believing chuck over Louie.  makes my life simpler.  she's mean and only does the least- minimum.  she says she doesn't do anything she knows who to send them to.  I quit.  

where would I prefer to be instead of seniors?

saboteurs

ah, my family.  the puzzle was trashed, I don't care I'll start over.  so like my family.  unfortunately I'm used to it.   

met Fong and Aya nursing students.  they assisted bingo then BP.  

Glory came to lunch and is looking for housing r/t an attorney.  she didn't stay oh, well.  I can only do what I can do.  I called her mail to say I was up stairs she left to get gas no respect no heads up.  I will keep SALA info in car just in case.  she says she won't be back 'til next week.  

took me an hour to find my car papers looking everywhere and then 10 min to find SALA in chrome bag.  I put my Susan Cancilier case in trunk.

I deserve something special.  I'm having a horrible time processing the memories of betrayal and losing my entire family.

storm blowing in

it matches my upset stomach pain everywhere.  

I'm hating the replacements on jeopardy and wheel.  oh, well.  

last Wednesday Glory confided she's experiencing the same threats of physical violence and eviction I received from my sisters.  I shared my experience of retaining a lawyer and documenting with times, dates and conversations, anything written saved to substantiate the abuse.  hopefully it won't be as bad.  but unlikely.  when my parents died and my sisters betrayed me I shouldn't have been surprised.  I knew they only came around for money.  it felt like my entire family was dead.  I lived in a pretend world until I had to admit to myself how they really were.  I'm still suffering.  I can't tell anyone she's so ashamed.  she feels it's her fault.  

lunch good cooked BBQ chicken I got Walter's extra sweet potatoes, slaw, fruit cup, bread.  and bingo was the best ever.  Elizabeth came 10 minutes late and Mallory helped.  I've never enjoyed a class more not even kindergarten.

I released 6 lbs

I'm loving the Van Gogh almond blossoms puzzle.  I find it relaxing and calming.  I'm enjoying the journey.  

my body hurts everywhere.  my ribs feel broken.  from the coughing.  I'm drinking cold brew chamomile.  it's helping my breathing.

so sick from pollution

Friday the trees on the patio dropped pollen into my to go box and Saturday I was miserable from being poisoned.  I haven't been this sick since 1985-86 Gilroy's alfalfa harvests.  I'd always get flu like symptoms.  then I moved to San Jose.  

this morning I was going to call in sick then around 8 am I felt fine.  still a lot of chest congestion.  last week I started looking for my chamomile just because it's a cleaner stimulant than caffeine for me.  and today I remembered I had some in storage.  Ta Da!  when mom had bronchitis twice then pneunomonia her ob GYN prescribed chamomile as a natural expectorant.  she was already on a lot of drugs.  I had it growing in the back yard such a pretty plant.  

my stomach is so messed up from the mucus.

free Fiji water and a quarter-2nd day pollution

my eyes are burning my sinuses hurting the second morning waking coughing and congested.  the shower is the only place of relief.  

The new Lucky's format is not logical probably AI.  AI leen.  they try to cut costs by firing people like trump then they have no idea how to solve the glitches.  

trump is removing people and dismantling government for fewer witnesses and to create chaos.  he's creating a catastrophe to star in.  so tv.  

I discovered Idiot test is on 1-2.  I can do that.  

Inge gave me free ticket to BBQ one of her admirers had to cancel.  

feeling so sick from allergies.  eating plant fighting nausea.  I ate beef noodle lunch and picked up Costco sausage lunch.  Ken and Toki holding table Trudy in line I gave her first refusal on Splenda and we laughed I finally found it.  Fred and Debbie showed up.  lots of city people for Jessica's retirement.  I said goodbye to everyone like a social able. 

baking cups, glucose from $tree.

Walter's sis anxiety-Bartolo fixing Dave and Betty Todd fence-2 cop cars

3 panels blew down last storm.  I got home 1:45.  I went out with recycle and Bartolo threw 2 dirty cement bags and stick I put in garbage and moved bin to fence.  get it right.  I won't confront Bart 'cause he lies, he's tried excuses before.  ah, the skin cancer.  

2 cop cars and officers parked next to Todd yard.  huh.

Walter agreed to change his sister's car battery.  and he's stressed.  tried to use me to distract him instead of confronting his anxiety.  I suggested he critical path management his next major project.  he was testing me.  I passed.
