it disappeared

I wonder where it goes.  if all the words end up somewhere.

I was too close to the prickly pear and tore off the cover on the left mirror.  I parked on the side and managed to carefully put the plastic back.  the electronics worked.  I went to lucky's for free Gatorade tablets and good nature healthy tea.  $13.50.  

lunch was good.  fish.  Toki, Fred, Mike.  I went to Carlos' and asked about gaps in hood.  new front end and hood.  headlights so shiny.  he glued side mirror.  

home I started taking things from back seat and trunk.  I'm using fabric wheel barrow.  5 years collecting.

mekennon 7:05 am

I missed 3 calls from Carlos yesterday my car is ready.  he suggested having Pedro drop it off at home.  I prefer senior center or Carlos garage.  I offered Carlos $100 to test drive and arrange pick up.  I have my check book with me.   

after many phone calls and much anxiety Carlos picked me up in my car.  home 2:30.  I paid him $100 check he didn't want to take I insisted.  I left Pedro's $2000 check and told Carlos $500 more not according to notes and conversations 3/20 and 3/26.  Pedro cashed $500 and $120 checks 4/10.

jane gave me syrup and cookie.  I sat with her waiting for Carlos.

I've become my mother

I'm afraid to drive.  well, afraid to be hit.  after all this time.  considering her abusive brother, i witnessed him brutalizing my cousins, it makes sense and it's what i learned.  I didn't want to be like the family.  I chose not to brutalize others.  her fear was karma.  

Mekennon to seniors and maybe cup.  nope, he cancelled, Marissa to cup and Kuben home.  lots of movies 2 bags full.  

Lhosa gave me 5 onion bagels so sweet, more added sugar than onion.  great dessert.  I've eaten 3.  

my legs, hips, feet ache.  I'm so stiff and sore.

my day of rest

I'm watching the movies I couldn't while caring for the family.  it's been so weird doing whatever I want.  the hardest part is knowing what I want.  it was always about them.  getting, doing for them.
