Good God

Live music. How rare

Thank you. But how awful to make an internet meds and waste countless hours fretting it. Pleasant though to go to Wbk Connect in cool evening shade with I and A and Red. We shared a tasty quesadilla as well as the

Vendors: flea market

Unpleasant dreams every morning, dammit. Stress and anger apparently

Lobster role today?

 

Yes indeed. And fried clams (mine)

A good day yesterday, all in all. I walk into town for lunch at Don’s  See throw past him happily talking on his phone  I didn’t see it so I don’t care  

  Pearls before Swine comic strip has been right on target regarding my mood lately: today Wise Ass on the hill Answers Rat’s question, what is the key to contentment?   Realizing that you can’t change other people. No, what are you gonna do?  Still try to change other people. Not sure why I do this  Good advice for me

    Monday just as appropriate for me:

Psych soc worker today

Monday sleepyhead

Not in a good mood so that might be a good mood to see this person in; woke up after 3 1/2 hours with CPAP and 4:40; nice back rub from A, but feel tired even though back to sleep till 7:30 from about 6:15; no exercise at all; beautiful day. I don’t like being responsible, in charge, denying that I am when I take it on intentionally.  Intentional suffering. Always making small plans and anticipating their outcomes.

I like the colors in these pics

First day of summer

Are power lines photogenic?

I read again, hedge knight, book 3.  Doctor appointment, nothing new. Goodwill bins visit first time, don’t like them; Gorham trail walk. L visit;  I participated so finely all day. Activities felt joyful, hopeful. 

Watched tv, first episode of house of dragon, with much enjoyment. 

  Just took a tick off Red;  showed  I the process  

I’d say yes

Another fine day, TYJ

 

Red on the trail, by I today

Didn’t seem to start out that way. Grocery shopping and the old folks crashed and burn for several hours in the early afternoon  I was bored out of his wits, I think, so I  him out for a downtown walk with three assignments: Take pics; Make eye contact and talk to somebody; ponder while walking, What do I want to do with my life?

    Got back just as Red and I were heading to schoolyard, so I asked him to drive us. We walked the short  fave Sac trail and encountered a fine young man with a skateboard he greeted me pleasantly. Back in the parking lot, he came over to speak and I got  out of the car and amiably joined the conversation. I love the smile for two young men  And the Lively, discussion of schools and film and theater. Very much hope to encounter B again.

Excellent weather


Red lounging around the corner today

Yesterday 

I snapping

A few more pics. I’m tired. Stormy weather yesterday sunny and windy today both beautiful days
     I feel like I am turning myself inside out and doing the same to I and the rest of the family. Planning and supervising daily events. Spending money 💰 more than freely, maybe foolishly ttbut not caring. I’m tired and and too much. I and Red seem so too. What am I trying to accomplish this month, with these people, my family?  I can’t name it. It doesn’t feel peaceful or internal or godly or maybe even goodly. Am I expecting something in return?  External considering or mistaking internal considering for that?

No more beans

 

Grandson’s photo yesterday across the bay

We walked back bay yesterday and this is ian’s picture of the new construction on the old B&M baked beans site. I wonder where they make that product now

Good Wednesday night webinar and some good feedback by email regarding my response to Stephen. The anxiety is going away today.

S got back safely from her dental appointment. Her poor mouth is full of silver stitches, which have to come out on -1.  Poor girl or maybe not so much since we have dental work that saves teeth

Chief Feature

Neighborhood Flowers yesterday

   S is on her way to Boston for a serious dental fix. Sunny and cool today with 9 days of rain predicted. Better mood me but still conflictied about Stefon. Wish he would’ve led just go away. 

  What I would say if I could to him and the group: Maybe name my chief feature, which I am not proud of:  you cannot win an argument with me unless I let you.  Stubborn, tenacious I guess.  If I acknowledge that, will it go away? Probably not, but I may become more centered even if I do keep Automatically swatting mosquitoes
