- I just read that the "editors" here on OS are looking for another "editor" to do their work for them. Of course, I nominate Trig. He knows everyone, has a clear mind, a huge mouth so that the ones who close their ears can hear what he's saying, and he can stir up new blood i.e. new writing that was wonderful before the advent of those awful 'adverts.'
- I woke up this morning and forgot to set my clock back one hour. The light in my bedroom was brighter than usual. Odd indeed so I lay there and thought and thought. November 1st I said under my breath and I jumped out of bed and ran around the house setting all the clocks back an hour. So silly now as I type about it. Whatever for?
- Connie and Bruce invited me to celebrate their daughter's 19th birthday last night. We went to a Thai restaurant near San Diego State. I miss State sometimes, but not enough to dream about it. The food was excellent. I had fried rice with shrimp with a spicy scale of 1. Yes, I know I'm a big girl. But I was never a fan of spicy foods. I always eat slowly and I was the last to finish eating. I don't eat out much these days. One must save their pennies in these depressed times. Afterwards, their daughter went to a Halloween party and we three went back to their place and watched "The Adams Family." Luckily for me, Cousin It was visiting and I laughed and laughed.
- I finally dropped my AT&T cell service. I talk too much and I text too much. And my last bill came to almost $300. Wow! But I blame myself. So I switched over to, get this, Walmart's 'Straight Talk.' For only $45 a month, unlimited minutes and unlimited text. Or you can choose $30 for 1,000 minutes and 1,000 texts. No contract and you renew every thirty days. This will be my fourth cell service. I don't like being tied down to anyone service. I like the monthly renewal and no contract. I'm not into the fancy bells and whistles and don't give a damn using my cell to get on the net. I talk and I text and that's it!
- Three houses up from my house, another person died. It was another elderly man. He died in his sleep and when he didn't answer his phone or his door, I guess someone became concerned. Where I live there are lots of retired people: teachers, police, nurses, government workers, ministers It's not uncommon to hear police sirens and ambulanaces going up and down my street. Years ago, when my parents first bought the house, an elderly woman was making breakfast and she dropped dead then and there in her kitchen the week we moved in. And ever since then, death seems to walk up and down the sidewalks. I figure it'll take at least two days for someone to discover me dead. With my luck I'll be like that woman in Germany or some place in Eastern Europe and be dead for 30+ years before she was discovered.
- I weighed myself this morning. I gained four pounds! Well, no wonder I can't see my feet anymore. Naw, I'm just teasing. I can still see them..only if I'm wearing my reading glasses. So it's back to my daily walks at Rohr Park in Bonita. I'll start tomorrow. I'm such a lazy ass. But the reason I haven't gone walking at the park in the mornings because I felt kind of embarrassed to be unemployed. How many 45 year old men do you seeing walking at a park during the weekdays when everyone else is working? I assumed all these eyes bored into my face and I could hear their thoughts, "loser!" over and over again. Of course, it's silly now. When I'm in a shitty mood, I don't need others to call me a loser. I can easily do that for myself.
- I am terribly excited. Christmas is next month! I love Christmas. When I go to Target, I could look at the Christmas displays for hours and hours. Some people get their panties, man or otherwise, in a bunch over its commercialization. I say lighten up. God doesn't give a crap. The Big Guy has more important shit to worry about than the likeness of Him carved in cow lard. God has a sense of humour. There's a reason for Glen Beck, right?
