up

I am up in the middle of the night.  I was not sleeping, thinking about the meetings and someone who hurt my feelings.  We went to bed early though Catholic Worker doesn’t serve Monday or Tuesday mornings so we don’t need to be up at 6.  I feel restless. I wish I had something fun… Read More »

wafer cookies

The meeting is over, the two day meeting.  Today we bought some cheap cookies at the Mexican grocery store.  They are vanilla wafer cookies with chocolate filling.  I think the whole package was 89 cents.  Ming’s eating some.  I think we’re staying in Las Vegas for another most of a week.  I foresee a trip… Read More »

Today I was in a board meeting for seven hours.  We had a lunch break, but we kept talking like a meeting sort of at lunch time.  So I’m counting it as seven hours.  SCREW THAT!  That is too much meeting for me.  I am losing my mind.  Also, my body is behaving strangely.  I… Read More »

Today we went to Valley of Fire State Park and saw some… Read More »

I napped this afternoon in the luxurious white… Read More »

fun with parents

Last night I dreamt of arguing with someone about God.  I said, “You think God is some white guy up in the sky sitting like this and making judgements about us.”  The person I was arguing with was indignant.  Later in the fight she said she thought God was blue.  Yesterday was my birthday.  Mom… Read More »

today’s prediction

Free breakfast, a birthday, a new psychiatrist, a rush, a journey, family, maybe cake, and finally sleep.

tea

I got three Prince cds out from the library.  And a Regina Spektor. Today we did the bulletin at church then had tea with Swami.  It was good.  Then we went to the library where I wrote a letter and finished another. Last night I dreamt of being trapped at this haunted place where Ming… Read More »

gaming and thrifting

The game yesterday morning was great.  I was an animist named Moss.  Ming was a collectivist named Ash.  Our friends were a gardener named Leaf and a scavenger called Pilar.  I had a bag of dried herbs and mushrooms and saw spirits.  We laughed a lot and got stuck sometimes but had lots of fun. … Read More »
