This is a short or light work week for me. I only work 2 days for my regular job and then have a focus group on Tuesday. I spent a lot of time yesterday packing up more of my books. I am using small boxes so that they are easier for me to carry. Most boxes have about 20 books in them. Today I will... Sign in to see full entry.

Saturday in the wee hours of the morning I could hear my grandson screaming as he ran towards my room. I got up and looked thinking the worst. He latched onto my legs crying. The thunder and lightning woke him and scared him. I tucked him into bed with me and he fell back to sleep right away. All... Sign in to see full entry.

The Path
There was a park at the end of what we called the path in our neighborhood back in the 60s. The path was the quickest short cut to get to school or the nearest park. We couldn't cut through there when it was raining or still wet from it. The park has a pavilion along with ball fields, a metal slide,... Sign in to see full entry.

I decided to take back my life. I am no longer cooking for anyone other than myself and mom. I don't clean up after them either. It feels good to have some quiet time. Time for me! Sign in to see full entry.

I have no net at home. My son doesn't believe me when I say I don't have any more money. He hasn't paid me back at all. I made the mistake of trusting him to pay me back as he usually does. This time he just hasn't and now I am stuck like chuck trying to find the way to pay the taxes, subdivision... Sign in to see full entry.

Red Nose Day and health
I don't know how many of you have heard of Red Nose Day. Not sure if it is done outside of the USA or not. The day is to recognize and hopefully eliminate child poverty. Walgreens sells the red nose for $1. They also have maltesers for 1.19 each or 2 for $1 if you have their reward card. I was... Sign in to see full entry.

Oakland Part IV
We took the Bart back to Oakland. Too tired to do anything else, we ordered pizza. I could only one or two pieces and was finished. The next day I made breakfast before we headed to his storage to get some things from it. My four penguins, 2 dwarves were an awesome surprise. We went shopping from... Sign in to see full entry.

Everywhere down on the piers was packed. The crestfallen fans emptied into the pier area as well. All the stores and shops were packed. The ladies room line was no exception. We took a pedibike down to pier 39. This has a two levels filled with shops and restaurants. We walked around in there for a... Sign in to see full entry.

Oakland Part II
They are carrying signs, caricatures and placards of teflon don. Many demand he show his taxes among other issues. The crowd grew. The police were mulling about and there were several on motorcycle. We started walking down the street looking at the various people. Listening to odds and ends about... Sign in to see full entry.
