ladies asked to sit my table mistake too talkative the whole time.  only good they left early.  older white privileged bitch asked me to watch her cards, no i have enough to do watching my own.  the nerve.  her younger white friend suggested she put some back, no she didn't want to.  big spoiled baby.  

i like no internet.  so quiet.  tomorrow pool.  then i remembered to charge my phone.  looked in car, shirt, bags, finally found it in house catch all bin.

ken jennings ruined jeopardy

i watched half of celebrity, z list people so dumb i couldn't watch.  i waited for celebrity wheel.  ken jennings picks remarkably stupid people i think to feel superior.  he acts like it.  he's provided all the answers so how he feels smart i don't know.  alex trebek was humble not ken.  

pat respects his contestants.  his celebrities tried to win and not compete to be the funniest.

they couldn't love me

they'd have to admit they were broken.  they pretended they were perfect and the rest of the world specifically me was broken.  the price of being here is insanity.  to be otherwise is to risk crucifixion.  

so much left over lunch.  no one liked the cold hard omelet.  too much spinach and cole slaw with egg.  quarter less diners tons thrown away.  weird a piece of bread with jelly no butter.  and the heels left in a bag on menu table.

life is a spiral

 ever moving upward.  seems like we're stuck repeating but we're one rotation above.  

4 pm sunny.  i already picked up cup and it wouldn't check out i asked they clean the disc took a few looked like new.  found 2 possible puzzles for seniors.  funny i don't mind turning in spot.  i used to feel deprived.  now i just feel it's right.  i don't want to own one.  i scored 4 bookmarks.  2 metal, plastic car hologram, hp raven claw.  tygj.

early start

for years i woke early in pain and couldn't sleep so i'd wait for seniors to open at 7.  i had a hard time walking and needed to be sure i didn't make it more difficult.  i habituated myself then covid came and changed everyone's pattern.  some people reverted to the old behaviors so fires changed more patterns.

happiness is knowing what you need and getting it-onigiri

nothing to do but rest.  games won't play website problem.  free from distractions.  i watched some jackie chan.  i have half a dozen movies.  interesting interview.  he was #1 in china for a long time and coming to hollywood humbled him.  took me 15 minutes looking for shoe supports.  i need all the support i can get.  

i'm cooking everything today.  working in gilroy i cooked sundays for the week, freezing everything.  i'm cooking drums twice not falling off the bone.  i like it very well done.  i'm nuking sweet potato prepped sale 99 cents for 15 0z.  delicious with chick.

must be lack of oxygen

still smoky bad air alert.  i swam at seniors feeling depressed.  exercise best solution.  decided i wanted to checkout sprouts.  great clearance specials.  $12.46 for 2 breads, juice, 2 vinegar chips, hazelnut croissants 2-25 cent singles, bear claws, beets.  

main library closed i went to st just, i needed a smile from the pantry lady.  gloria wanted bell peppers and cantaloupe whew.  everything i'm allergic to.  i kept chips and crackers, eggs, 3 bags of pasta etc.  under library garage parking still closed i came home.

strange pains in my right ear and left hip.  i did a lot of reorganizing.  i cleared 2 reorganized plastic bins for pantry foods.  transferred pocket fabrics to veg box.  took me 15 minutes to open over stuffed kitchen drawer.  whisks jammed.  i slept for 3 hours after a sandwich and chips lunch.  felt stiff but better.

i slept through.

i loaded freebies and weekend coupons.  i kept trying to load them and realized i had to wait for the weekend.  picked up freebies walked store it's all exercise.  seniors 8 am first spot.  good for bingo.  thought of phone forgot to charge, zero shut itself off.  charged everything discovered plug by scales.  lack of oxygen exhausting.  another air alert.  13 messages.

lunch diane monopolized conversation couldn't figure out how to load freebies to her smart phone so i talked her through it.  did she thank me, no.  gloria collusion no loyalty.  eh, it is what it is.  gloria wants her own account her sisters are shutting her out according to her.  maybe because she's disloyal.  sophia brought me 2 sandwiches, 2 vienna sausages, cookies i gave to alex.  beans and rice i'll give back to pantry.  salome likes to make fun of the rubber bands i use for leftovers.  oh, well too good for her.  like diane.

bingo i won first game almost black out for crazy kite.  snack bar $5.  played lots of numbers not right bingo.  annoying woman on puzzle table plays fry bingo.  helped gerde load the walker into her car.  so brave.

coming home early and resting my back helps a lot.  i brought in some water, i'm finally using large wipes to clean my feet.  aloe vitamin e.  cleared space for st just pantry.  i have a lot of water bottles in the trunk.

kintsugi-happy saturn day

japanese idea imperfections and repairs add value.  kits are sold online.  i'm still absorbing the idea pain is beneficial.  

my body is evolving.  my neck is sore finally loosening.  my hips sore making me tired.  draining my energy.  i organized supplements for the week.  so much house keeping.  in between tasks i'm totally relaxing every muscle.  i'm taking little cat naps.

i set out pots for allergy starters.  i need to keep them watered so they root.  

woke up 1:30 hungry pain free.  made p'nut butter cinnamon rolls.  sliced cooked onion.  potato and carrot later to add to soup.  

i'm watching 'everybody loves raymond'.  i needed humor.  my childhood my family all trauma and drama.  healing, repairing uses lots of energy.

Friday, September 8, 2023

free friday

so hungry i'm eating salty tasteless healthy crackers from sprouts.  good thing i'm full after 2 crackers.  no wonder it says doesn't raise sugar level.  can't eat more than 2 without gagging.  i forgot chicken rice in oven.  i ate chicken and scrambled rice with eggs.  mornings i'm not so hungry.  a little fills me up.  i'll save egg rice for brunch.

sidney assumed i was homeless too because i keep so much in my car.  i keep what i don't want the sisters to steal.  if i leave it they'll steal my heart's desire.  i told him i never was welcome, not my home theirs.  i only ever worked here.  most maybe all homeless share this life experience.  never welcome in a home.  any home.  

i loaded free tru blu.  i'm planning my escape.  that gave me the shivers.  i don't know why.  

went to lucky's for free cheddar cheese crackers and bought 2 dozen eggs 99 cents ea.  monopoly ends soon.  took eggs into gym during shower.  home i ate potato omelet.  

i decided to rest and relax.

found missing peach in fridge. dad's 24th year

unfortunately no good.  i still have 3 ripening in trunk.  finally ate omelet.  organic egg heavy and tasteless.  stomach iffy.  lots of grape c.  

still debating which library.  playing mahjong board jumping.  so annoying.  i could go tomorrow.

wearing tight jeans reminds me the years of support hose after 1972 fall hurt my spine.  holding me together.  i wore girdle too.  x quit his job no discussion just announced it.  so i had to get extra hours.  more torture besides a loveless marriage.  

9:18 sitting in front of sunny waiting to open.  aha, i can puzzle my own at central.   i drove onto monroe and traffic to costco too intense.  i still have over quarter tank.  

i never used to like sitting or walking.  i never knew i could be comfortable like wearing shoes.  mom only bought me one pair a year so my feet hurt shoes never fitting.  no wonder i hated being alive.  i was in constant pain and suffering.  my mom punished me if i complained so i have a problem with that too.  

i'm watching asian wife hand book from her bag to husband like he's a child can't manage to carry his own book to return on his own.  wow.  me and every relationship.  it's what mom knew too.  and she lamented she couldn't have nice things.  description online of their behavior called quiet cutting-subtle undermining.  they made me feel like nothing.  i had no self-esteem.  none. zero.  zip.  

Monday, September 4, 2023
