paid water

and wrote life insurance.  penultimate check and full register.  

I finished puzzle 9:15.  on to stretching.  

my good deed I helped locker lady.  31-1-11 not 31-11-1.  God told me in the shower.  Whew! I feel better about misplacing my lunch utensils after rinsing last week.  and I forgot used Elmo shampoo stolen from shower stall time for new shampoo.  I filled coconut and Argan oil shampoo bottles.  

after lunch I picked up an abandoned side salad.  OK with buffalo chicken pack and Asian dressing.

just when I think I'm better

I decided on library due to projected 88 degree day.  I drove the back way Kaiser and huge old dark SUV changed lane sped up to HHONNKK at me and I didn't care.  I detoured to St Just for lunch pick up.  Sandy and Chris gave me weekend bags too.  

at library I checked Safeway and Emails I forgot Discover new 23 due date.  so I went to Safeway for low salt chips and free soda.  Prebiotic has fiber.  

returned to library best parking.  picked up and charged 50% phone paid Discover 12:37 pm.  ate my sandwich.  I used to punish myself when I screwed up no more.  

reward for being alive.  I'm human.  I have my purple pillow.  

and I am at peace.  well, I was until Chrome crashed 3:50.  I successfully recovered Email and blogs before having to leave.

1976 Agoraphobia flashbacks/PTSD

I was afraid of everything.  I was especially afraid I'd kill myself in a head on collision taking out an innocent.  I had no conscious knowledge of my family suicide heritage.  it was the result of my neglectful, abusive marriage a continuation of my childhood.  

last two nights lucid dreams of castle/mansion with elaborate waterbeds in every room.  and silent kitchen remodel while I slept in my current childhood bedroom.

Lawrence Lucky's no eggs

no medium no large substitutes delivered.  eh.  I did get clearance almond croissants, tomatoes and cucumber.  I asked for no rain checks.  took home, closed window, picked up UV glasses from living room.  

got to seniors, lots of parking.  I puzzled 'til 9, tub 'til 9:30 Cody renewed my chrome and I took back 2/5 movies wouldn't play.  

lunch with Gloria, Fred, Toke, Walter.  then under their influence I let the chrome slip off my cart and one corner rubbed against the pavement.  I felt like an idiot.  I proceeded to Prune ridge Lucky's to check clearance, lots of sale eggs and clearance lemon pie.  I feel better.  

home 12:58 end of Lingo.

Sunny has 48/61 hot spots.  added 25.  whew!  I paused central 43/36.  

I'm playing my rules the first times in my life.

redeemed free Colombe 12 oz cold brew

 I got 2 Cole slaw kits free using clearance coupons.  3 sale light salt chips $7.50.  they overcharged me $1 for salads.  BOO!  

I bought a bacon egg souffle at Panera and a half off chocolate croissant.  powdered sugar makes all the difference.

I got extra lunch fried rice and tuna sandwich.  Diana gave me 4 Lucky's game pieces I gave her coupons.  Fred and Toke and Walter.

I ate the tuna sandwich and napped.  me so tired.  

"keep calm and carry on" answer on both the Chase and Jeopardy.

ouch-Juneteenth my Freedom

slavery is a physical and mental condition.  conditioning.  we're taught.  like from the musical South Pacific.  

my attention deficit.  I overlooked my rinsed lunch utensils yesterday walked to my car, retraced my steps then when Fred showed up we moved our place mats from the lunch vultures and my utensils were in my coffee cup cooling the heat.  I have to laugh.  I've done this all my life when tired and I don't know it.  

I'm using my pillow.  I'm watching my game shows.  I'm  taking care of my back.  

Wednesday, June 18, 2025

I'm feeling

I've been numbed out for so long any feeling is raw.  I've survived.  now to learn to live.  

I brought Walter's gifts.  new copper fit hot cold back brace and plant starter kit gathered and put in car last night with my usual paranoia.  family talk in my ear.  he believes his family thoughts.

living takes thought

thought uses a lot of energy.  today after exercise I ate a cookie and organic apple sauce.  I used to tough it out.  mom refused to feed me.  I got into a habit of self denial.  like Toke.  

Fred's last name Gong.

Velcro damage- my dad the sperm donor

my friend Kathy R asked me when my dad died in the 80's because I never talked about him, he never did anything.  makes me sad.  my family makes me sad.

2 pm I decided to go to the library.  new behavior.  I used to obsess about being at the opening. 

my back brace has chewed my clothes.  I threw all I need to repair sass skirt into shoe box.  and I fixed it.  

security guard trying to engage.  no.  I want to choose.

all Sprouts CBD discontinued clearance 99-$1.19

 I haven't been in I don't know.  10 am I went to St Just closed so I decided to check Sprouts.  clearance kid's ham cheese, BBQ chips, water, cookie, applesauce $4.19 and 99 cent CBD grapefruit flavor seltzer tastes yucky.  

close to seniors I showered with black strap top lovely cool.  velcro bit sassy skirt I'll have to mend.  the little velcro teeth are vicious.  

Toke, Trudy and Ken were biking at seniors.  Sourcewise Aging Fair a secret.  I got lots of fun toys, I made Toke take an insulated lunch bag.  she's so stubborn accepting free stuff.

then I ate my lunch at central.  so perfect, I puzzled, relaxed, watched little ones squealing and running around.  so cute.  a lot of dads with little ones.  

3:30 I started going to Safeway for fried rice and sweet sour chicken, salad mix, free propel drink, clearance 8 X 8 cornbread $2.50.  

home 5 pm for Idiot Test.  9 pm watching James Brown movie 'Get on Up'.

I'm praying

Jen took away Saturday pools.  let's see what else we lose.  

and no seniors are concerned our civil liberties are threatened.  it's gossip as usual.

I love my freedom

I can soak I do what I want.  I'm still adapting.  it still feels raw.  I'm enjoying my cats puzzle and stretching my back.  

I hope it lasts my lifetime.  Trump is in the news taking over the Kennedy Center as chairman of the board packing it with his appointees like the Supreme Court.  when asked his favorite character in Les Miserables he turned to Melania who shrugged it off.  he just enjoys people suffering.  

and the coverage TMZ had of 4 disrespectful security men taking down Senator Alex Padilla and handcuffing an obviously non violent man.  AMAZING!  no freedom of speech for some people already.

not happy

I called Stephen Kohlwaeis after looking up mountain time an hour ahead.  I missed his 2 calls he'll let me know when he finds out what's what.  sounds like the same letter as March.  Letter Of Representation.  makes me feel unloved by the universe.  my family trained me.  I'm unlearning.

my eyes and sinuses are raging.  my allergies are so bad.  

Fred packed his lunch and left, Toki was late, Walter sat with Inge.  if not for them I'd lunch at Sunny.  Toki said the suggested donation is going up to $5 on July 1.  home by 12:35.  lovely cool.

my nose is stuffy from Canadian wildfires smoke-CSAA letter

my throat and sinuses blocked.  my stomach is hurting from mucus.  too much pollution.  

makes me wonder how people closer to the fires are doing.  

after tub my back is screaming.  feels broken.  2 willow will make me better.  

I'm sipping grapefruit soda for my cramps from too much acid.  terrible painful cramping.  like 1972 and 2001.  my feet are icy from poor circulation pinched nerves.

and it's worse.  I got letter from CSAA Stephen Kohlwaies regarding last year car incident.  I don't know the effect on my insurance.  I put in a call.  

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

pondering

I rested and felt like checking Nob Hill.  no clearance, nada, nothing.  I bought frozen 2 burritos, green peas.  

I forgot to check Costco gas prices.  eh, tomorrow.

St Just lunch pick up Sandy and Charity I talked to Gloria whose dad died 2 weeks ago Wednesday his 3rd time hospitalized.  so she's walking to save her sanity.  main library K-Pop day kids all over.  I puzzled 'til 3 decided to pick up Sunny and tomorrow main again.  

4 pm Sunny library.  on to Nob Hill 95014 pork fried rice and sweet sour chicken, salad mix.  home 5:26 half hour traffic 5 miles.  oh, so good.  microwave too.  I could eat it all at once.  lovely fun eating with Idiot Test.  I ate fruit tart first while my food was cooking.  Heavenly.  

big huge mistake to forget my purple pillow.  I left it in the car.  my back felt broken later.

free Lindt truffle Lucky's

oh, DMV car registration renewal.  24 hour I showered and stretched, entered my games, Wheel.  Lucky's I walked the store bought cucumber and Rosemary entered 3 tickets.  

and I forgot DMV until 9:53 sitting waiting for Cup library to open.  I picked up 'Day the earth stood still' remake and straight to Cup Safeway.  bought my $5 Friday fruit tart and renewed DMV.  then straight Homestead to senior center 11:17 Fred held table, Walter beat Toke and Salome last.  it was OK.  they gave us small scoop vanilla ice cream to charge left overs to senior lunch program.  I know accounting.

7:45 am space 10

#1, #3, #7, #10.  all in the timing.  I'm sitting in the gym wearing my freshly laundered dress.  9:30 time to move.  I entered all my sweeps.  

I walked Lucky's clearance almond croissants and Mac ice cream.  I redeemed bonus points with Rosemary only 3 tickets at a time.  she kept trying while the checkout line backed up.  so I told her another day.  

senior lunch weird looked like dog food.  supposed to be Korean nasi goreng.  Fred ate half gave me the rest.  Walter and Salome are the same.  I told the table the 18th is his b'day.  Toke seemed more rested.  

I did a lot yesterday and am still tired.  I fell asleep halfway through People Puzzler.  Leah Remini and Melissa Peterman are so supportive of their contestants.  Ken has to act smarter like he isn't given the answers and Ryan is defensive like someone may attack.  

the air quality is terrible between the Australian dust storm and Canadian fires.  I woke up congested and have been drinking extra water to flush the toxins.

8 am good parking @ gym

following Spirit I mailed fit test, withdrew Chase, deposit *1 didn't open 'til 10.  I used the time to organize trunk, sitting waiting.  Lucky laundry 1.1 mi.  $4.75 for 2-3 load machine.  

found a nickel at 24 hour and penny @ laundromat.  I love finding money.

11:07 opened 1 door @ seniors.  jen, amber, hilda love torturing us.  the chimichurri pork was pretty good.  I got extra roasted red potatoes and later veg.  Salome showed up Toke said Salome missed me Fri and Mon had a dress for me she gleaned during clean up.  she and Walter are two peas.

7:45 gym-daily word Divine Order-DO

the energy here 24 Hour is better.  the difference between life and death.  or maybe living and dying.  

10:30 seniors many didn't know closed.  lots of cars parked then left.  I looked at June newsletter online no pools Fridays and Saturdays.  for staff use only.  I'm blessed to have 24 to swim.  well, parking will be better Saturday's at seniors for gym use.  

finally opened doors 11:07.  Fred and Toke worth the mediocre food.  everyone curious I cancelled yesterday Nahyoung asked I didn't answer.  I chose not to answer new behavior for me.  Hilda etc stood around speculating.  so transparent.  seems to me they don't want work.  

Walter somehow different.  this closure may be a blessing.  he's more thoughtful.

Lucky's gym 3 I'm #1 parking

 8 am is a good time for gym.  I can take my time.  Seniors closed this week except for the lunch county program.  applications closed so last week I asked Armando and they're still accepting new clients here at Sunny.  I thought as much since it's county not city.  Sunny lunch is first come first served.  once they're full that's it.  Friday was maybe 2/3 full.  

9:30 Monday Sunny lunch very noisy.  no music yet.  OK 10 am.  it's so nice to listen to music r/t complaints and 'god ain't it awful's.  so many kind courteous characters.  Survivors.  10:24 no more place settings.  insanity Claus sat across from me trying horrible not funny jokes.

I stayed 'til 11:30 music ended.  home 11:39.  new Me.  I considered Nob Hill maybe later maybe not.  I wanted accurate mileage.
