i worried about pretty near everything

yesterday's hot spot connection was weak i was sure i'd done something when it actually depends on how many are using the signal.  now i'm conscious of that but my training of family blame instantly goes to it's my fault.  i'm still retraining myself.  

showered @ 24 and walked lucky's $12 leg warmers i want.  1:30 eating b king at cup, new movies.  so juicy good jr.  all down my front.  oh, well.  I ate fries driving.  the idea of eating a little all day appeals to me.  today i check out ace hardware.  so cool.  tons of things like frozen pies, pizza ovens, more tools and toys than i've ever seen.  garden, plumbing, everything and so helpful.  amazing.  safeway across the street sold me 3 paint boards $3.  funny 'cause they insisted it wasn't their product they sold it to me miscellaneous.  nob hill i found clearance 2 dinners $1.99 ea.  i sorted socks and put on my new cat valentine p j s.

i remembered last day of the year main library open

11:30 and the bookstore closed.  oh, well.  i don't need anything to use coupon.  i'm here watching, blessing people.  lots of dads with their little boys.  it's funny little boys are so active.  i'm sitting hoping bookstore will open.

1 pm even with protein shake time for home and lunch.  i changed my mind.  i used my medicare at walmart.  supplements and choc shakes.  $94 for 39 cents.  so i don't have to go tomorrow.  then i remembered college safeway frozen dinners.  jetted over and home by 3.  fish dinner and double chocolate muffin.

so it took 6 years to get over eric's too young death.  after cancer for 5 years and all the suffering.

i used to worry about sleep

now i know when i need to i will.  i'm still growing and changing.  just in reverse.  getting ready to leave the planet.  i've earned the right to live my way.

went to main after 24 picked up holds.  then lunch and sprouts i felt so good i went to walmart bought $80+ still have $86.  

email from sunny now i know how they keep their 40 current.  they want to charge $75 for lost hot spot late 21 days.  they didn't subtract the 4 days they were closed.  

i gave away calendars and have 2 from hiratas.  

it's so smoky from fireplaces and it's 60 degrees.  3 times pollution air.gov.  warm tee shirt weather.

i'm feeling jubilant

nothing has changed substantively.  yet i feel the lifetime of anxiety overwhelmed by happiness.  

i put the laundry in the car.  i decided i can ride around with dirty laundry and the world will continue.  mom won't kill me because she died in 2001 not taking her medication on mother's day with oldest sister too busy running around.  counselor called it passive suicide.  i call it attention deficit.  so many depressing details in my life.  too many to count.  

i showered at 24 lots of parking go figure.  open new year's.  excellent.  i realized the cuts on my hands are from the shower wand in handicapped stall.  it's frequently occupied.  so i cut myself.  i had tea tree oil and bandages.  another mystery solved.  

i went to seniors early so toki won't worry.  lunch ok.  on my way to main i stopped at sprouts 2 chips, double choc chip muffins, broccoli clover sprouts.  i felt so good i washed laundry & charged devices.  home i parked in driveway, through garage i hung everything, put away puzzles looking for city movies, found them.  i forgot i was going to use sunny sewing machine and return hot spot.  next week.  

auntie's book arrived.  i checked it out.  i prefer glossy.  matte more expensive not better.

i went safeway then sprouts.  gave toki honey chili hummus and milk just as she was leaving parking lot.  i bought clearance 2 yogurt cheese, hummus, almond dip, half cherry pie, olive artichoke dip.  i'm tempted to eat it out of the package.  

no water at senior center so everything in to go.  mediocre deli turkey stew frozen veg.  i ate mine at main library cathy called me she has money problems she goes out to lunch with her ladies and she likes entertaining.  oh, well she's an adult.

'the lost king'

i'm so nerdy.  sally hawkins, steve coogan about finding richard iii burial spot.  and about who controls media controls the 'truth'.  if trump becomes king his stories will be outrageous.

i ordered book on hiranos in hawaii.  justin pham e mailed a link so i went to tech center and nick directed.  due to be delivered jan 4 th.  woo hoo!  

i misread ad lucky's freebies end the 24th.  i thought it said 21.  so i'm still collecting.  today street corn dip.  such a great day.  the guys brought their wives full table.  so great.  i'm feeling productive.  one week done one to go.  art is going to sunny not mountain.  much closer.  starts at 4 k a month.

sneezy

i hope i didn't catch anything at Walmart yesterday.  took 2 hours standing in line to pay the bill and waiting for the vaccination record.  i woke up sneezing and congested.  i'm eating allergy plant.  and now i'm hungry.  egg bites.

i checked lucky's, free yachak energy drink.  can't return sunny spot yet.  'til 12 days done.

i confused 'mac and me' 1988 with 'labou' 2008.  similar goofy looking creatures.  totally different story lines.  jara lane, bobby caldwell singers.  mysterious alien creature.  

lunch ok.  i finally figured out why people like me and my family hated me.  i'm happy.  men want my happiness.  my family hated me.  they were too busy hating me to be happy themselves.  not my problem.  dan romania sat next to me reading wall street journal.  i asked his work occupation: carpenter.  how do you earn 100k as a carpenter?  diane moved in real quick.  after lunch sprouts peach pie and 99 cent shredded red cabbage for sweet sour.  dried my hair at main feet up.  found hirano picture book.  i want to send to hawaii.  i asked justin pham he got back to me so fast e mail link.

elemental movie

the commentary is amazing.  the thought and life experiences so precious.  it's so creative and warmhearted.  fire and water beings learning to live in harmony.

subliminal working well.  picked up free lucky's 1.7 oz salami and showered at 24 so rainy.  cleared up for lunch.  i started writing out bills.  looking forward to 2024.  i'm calmer, more comfortable.  felt so good after lunch i went to Walmart to pay pge.  got copy of shots from 10/23/23 that made me sick.  i'll wait 'til after new year for rsv just in case i get sick i don't want to miss new year like Halloween.  i bought 2 braces, gloves, cherry nicotine.  still $180 balance on the card.  i considered charging chrome at the main library but a lot to unpack and organize.  home 2:30 getting ready for tomorrow.  writing bills for dental insurance, don't know where trans america life is.

my life isn't perfect

but it's way better than it was.  at senior lunch Toki told me Helen is one of our angels.  someone from L A told Trudy.  like when Kyochan Amy died in LA and Kuni Ann wrote from Hawaii.  The convoluted Japanese way.  

i couldn't sleep last night and cooked the turkey thigh then used the juice to cook potatoes and onions.  up and awake 'til midnight.  

decided i didn't need free xmas deodorant 24 hour saw ginnie from seniors.  not talking with her daughter like me and alien.  same personality clash.  i decided i don't have to be the bigger person.  i don't have to be perfect only the best me i can be.

lunch fred, mike, eddie, new guy, then toki and sue.  i left left overs.  i have so much better i cooked and bought clearance.  stored potatoes and cooked 3 carrots with onions.  so good i ate all with cornbread.  cooked pasta in corning ware covered with parchment paper best way.

after lunch went to return overdue, 'chinatown' ready.  then at checkout 'barbie' ready too.  waiting for back room retrieval i found 3 more movies i wanted.  woo hoo!!  lucky me!

i decided i'm stewing the turkey thigh.  i was going to roast but doesn't appeal to me.  so micro stew it is.  diced tomatoes?

home 4 pm looking for stickers to send in xmas cards.  forgot addresses too.  finally remembered tamales only cheese left at nob i prefer pork.  tomorrow.
