valerie dissed me

MONDAY I TALKED TO JESSICA AT LUNCH ABOUT PICKING UP MY SANDWICH AT 10 OR 12;30 BECAUSE OF AARP 10;30 FRAUD CLASS SUNNYVALE.  JESSICA SAID TO LET VALERIE KNOW SO I DID AND I GET THE LUNCH MUST BE EATEN IMMEDIATELY, CAN'T BE TAKEN OFF THE PREMISES OR THEY GET IN TROUBLE LECTURE.

SHE'S DEAD TO ME.

EVERYDAY SHE SEES PEOPLE TAKING MEALS AND LEFTOVERS HOME.  WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS. 

I'VE BEEN COMING HERE LONGER THAN HER AND SHE HAS THE NERVE TO LECTURE ME ON A LIE.

LANDLINE

WORKS DIFFERENTLY.

CHILD OF GOD

I WENT AND EXERCISED, WE WERE FIRST ROW LUNCH AND FIRST LEFT OVERS.  I GOT ROAST BEEF SANDWICH.  INGE LEFT EARLY.  SHE NEVER STICKS AROUND WHEN ROSE COMES.  ROSE DISSED ART WHEN GERDA TOLD ROSE TO GET ART EXTRA CHICKEN.  SHE SAID 'I'M NOT GETTING HIM CHICKEN.'  SHE ACTED LIKE IT WAS COMIN FROM HER PURSE.  IT WAS FREE.  SHE'S SO PREJUDICED AND STINGY.

I DROVE TO CAMPBELL PICKED UP 5 HOLDS AND THEN DOLLAR TREE.  I WAS HOME 2 PUTTERED 45 MINUTES AND NAPPED 3 HOURS.  I FOUND WENDSLEYDALE CHEESE IN TRUNK AND ADDED IT TO SALAD.  SO GOOD.  SO MUCH FOR WALLACE AND GROMMIT.

FEELING GREAT

I'M A LITTLE SORE.  MAYBE I'LL GO SOAK OR STAY IN AND REST.  MY BOUND MUSCLES KEPT ME FROM MORE DAMAGE. 

AT LAST

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN.  I MISTAKENLY GOT $60 FROM SAFEWAY.

I GOT FREE THINGS AT VALLEY VILLAGE 3 TARNISHED SERVERS, WATER AND SNACK COMBO, NEW XMAS TREE , DENTAL FLOSS.  FOR $3  A BRAND NEW MEN'S HAWAIIAN SHIRT, 9 DVDS, 4 NEW ROLEX DEMITASSE SPOONS.

I WENT AND EXERCISED AND SAW WALTER.  HE'S STUCK.  HUH, SO AM I.

I WENT TO MISSION AND CHARGED THE CHROME, READ THE PAPER.  I FINALLY GOT HOME 2 AND MADE LEFT OVER CHICKEN BROCCOLI FOR LUNCH.  I FINALLY ATE LAST GOOD EGG WITH SPINACH AND PARMESAN CHEESE FO DINNER.  I DON'T KNOW WHERE I PUT WENSLEYDALE CHEESE.

RESTLESS CHILD

I SOOTHED MYSELF WITH DVD.  SLEPT 'TIL 8.  JUST ARRIVED SENIORS.

I'M TUCKERED OUT.  I EXERCISED AND REFRAINED FROM SPEAKING.  VERY WEIRD LUNCH.

ROSE MUST HAVE BEEN THE UPPITY 'PORTAGEE' HER WORD IN HAWAII AND HATES ASIANS.  THEY WOULDN'T HAVE PUT UP WITH HER QUEEN OF THE WORLD ATTITUDE.  SHE TREATS ART AND I LIKE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.  LIKE ALMETA.

AVOID STUPID

I TRY TO NURTURE MYSELF WITH THE BEST, I DESERVE THE BEST. 

GERDA WAS DISRESPECTED BY ROSE.  ROSE GAVE ELSIE FIVE DOLLARS TO BRIBE ELSIE TO PLAY BINGO.  SHE'S NEVER OFFERED MONEY TO GERDA AND HAS ASKED GERDA FOR MONEY.  ROSE PREFERS ELSIE.  ELSIE IS SO GOOD AT PLAYING DUMB.  THAT'S HOW SHE ENDEARS HERSELF BY MAKING OTHERS FEEL SMART.

NEENER NEENER.  ROSE WILL DISRESPECT ELSIE TOO.  IT'S WHAT SHE DOES BEST.  ROSE IS ALREADY SO JEALOUS OF INGE AND MAURICE.  ROSE ASKS EVERYONE TO HELP HER.  MONDAY ROSE TOLD VALERIE THE MENUS WERE WRONG AND VALERIE ASKED ME TO CHANGE IT FOR ROSE.  ROSE WOULDN'T TALK TO ME SO GERDA ENDED UP FILLING OUT 5 BECAUSE ROSE KEPT SCREWING UP.  ROSE GETS OTHER PEOPLE TO DO FOR HER SO SHE CAN BLAME AND CRITICIZE THEM.

THAT'S WHAT GAVE HER DAUGHTER CANCER.

i'm ok

I'M LOVING MAKING THE DAY MY OWN.

I ARRIVED SENIORS 8;44 AND LOTS OF CLOSE PARKING.  EXERCISED AND WAITED FOR BOOKMOBILE 10 MINUTES EARLY.  DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING TURNED IN BOOK AND DVD.

AND HERE I AM.

FREE.

8;30 I'M HAVING HOT CHOCOLATE AND CHIPS.  THE FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND HOT CHOCOLATE REMIND ME AT 16 I USED TO MAKE DAD AND ME HOT CHOCOLATE AND HOT BUTTERED TOAST TO WATCH TV.  ONE NIGHT I HAD AN IMPORTANT TEST TO STUDY FOR AND MADE DAD HIS SNACK AND WENT TO STUDY.  HE WASN'T HAPPY EATING WITH MOM AND MITZI BUT I HAD TO STUDY. 

NEXT MORNING I WENT INTO THE DINING ROOM AND MY FISH AND 10 GALLON AQUARIUM WERE GONE.  I PAID FOR THE TANK, FILTER AND LIGHT MYSELF.  I ASKED MOM AND SHE TOLD ME DAD PUT IT OUT ON THE FREEZING PATIO.  WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE THE FISH WERE MOTIONLESS.  THEY'D BEEN OUTSIDE ALL NIGHT.  HE TRIED TO KILL MY INNOCENT FISH.  MOM KNEW AND NEVER SAID A WORD TO ME. 

I FILLED A BOWL WITH WATER AND SCOOPED THE FISH INTO THE BOWL NOT KNOWING IF THEY'D SURVIVE.  MY HANDS BECAME RED, SWOLLEN, INCREDIBLY PAINFUL AND USELESS.  I TOLD MY MOM I NEEDED TO GO TO EMERGENCY AND SHE SAID NO I JUST HAD MY GRANDMA'S RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.  NO BLOOD NO EMERGENCY.  I HAD TO EMPTY THE AQUARIUM BY BOWLS FULL TO MANAGE BRINGING IT BACK IN THE HOUSE. 

I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN BOTH PARENTS.  MY MOM DIDN'T SUPPORT ME AND MY DAD BEHAVED LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.  I NEVER MADE HOT CHOCOLATE AND TOAST AGAIN.

MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY WOUNDED.

SO GOOD

JAMIE OLIVER COCONUT BAO.

                   ONE CAN COCONUT MILK IN PROCESSOR WITH BLADE.  USING SAME CAN 2 CANS SELF RISING FLOUR PINCH OF SALT.  PROCESS TIL COMES TOGETHER.  DIVIDE 8 INTO MUFFIN PAPER.  STEAM 10-15 MINUTES.

FUN

I WOKE 7, WATCHED HOT IN CLEVELAND, GOT TO SENIORS 9 AND LOTS OF PARKING.  ROSE MARIE WAS ALREADY THERE WITH MARILYN SO I EXERCISED EARLY. 

INGE DIDN'T SHOW UP SO LUNCH WAS ROSE TALKING AND TALKING AND TALKING.  FOR SOME REASON SHE ASKED ABOUT THE DANCES TUESDAY AND THURSDAY AND NEEDED TO SAY THE 'ORIENTALS' HOGGING ALL THE MEN AS THEY WALKED IN THE DOOR.  SHE MUST HAVE REALLY BEEN A WHORE TO RESENT MEN NOT CHOOSING HER.  SHE HATES US.  ART'S NOTICED TOO.  HE WAITED UNTIL SHE LEAVES TO GIVE ME THE NEWSPAPER OR ANYTHING ELSE.  ONE DAY IT WAS A MUG.  HE TOLD ME HE COULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME IN FRONT OF HER OR HE'D NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT.  AND I DON'T CARE.  I THINK THAT'S WHY SHE HATES ME IS I DON'T CARE.  I MUST PRAY MORE POWER TO HER.  MORE POWER TO ALL OF US. 

COOL, VERY WINDY

EXCITING.  I DIDN'T GET MUCH SLEEP BUT A LOT OF REST.  ALL THOSE YEARS OF PUSHING MYSELF, THE CONSTANT CRITICISM JUDGMENT FROM MY FAMILY FEELS LIKE IT'S BLOWING AWAY.  I CAN RELAX.

I DROVE LEISURELY 9;45 TO COSTCO GAS NO RECEIPT.  I PLANNED ON GOING DIRECTLY TO WALMART AND DETOURED TO ARQUES' 24 HOUR FOR SHOWER.  SUCH LOVELY STRONG WATER PRESSURE BLOWING MORE TROUBLES AWAY.

SURPRISING AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC.  USUALLY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY NONE.  I MISSED RANCH ROAD AND TOOK SECOND EXIT DIRECTLY TO PHARMACY ENTRANCE.  STORE IS PACKED FLOOR TO CEILING.  SURPRISINGLY CROWDED.  I FOUND BACK BRACES AND TOOK TWO TO COMPARE.  THE NUMBERS IN THE CATALOG HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BAR CODES SO PHARMACY CLERK SAID NOT THE RIGHT ONE.  I ASKED HER TO TRY AND IT WENT THROUGH.  THEN ON TO REGISTER 7 FOR NICOTINE GUM.  BOUGHT 1 BOX 170 PIECES.  I'M SAVING $50/MONTH IN SMOKES

SUCCESS. 

THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED HORRIBLY.  IT'S SO UNPLEASANTLY UGLY TO DRIVE

HURRAH

I'M FREE TO DO WHAT I WANT.  I'M BINGE WATCHING SEASON 4 HOT IN CLEVELAND AND EATING SOUP. 

I MADE OK CORNBREAD IN MICROWAVE.  TASTES OK.  WAY LESS TROUBLE IN MICROWAVE.

I CONSIDERED DOING BANKING AND DECIDED TO DO IT MONDAY.  TOMORROW GAS, 24, WALMART, MAYBE ST J.  IF I FEEL LIKE IT.

I AM BLESSED.
