I am wealthy.
I am wealthy.
I am wealthy.
I am fabulously rich.
I tried to get the chocolate buyer at the CVS store here to carry small non-dairy dark chocolate bars, because they are so important. She said she didn't know about it and never shopped at health food stores, but I could bring her a wrapper and she would look at it.
I looked up some stuff to help me find a health care provider. I hope that goes well.

I drove fast and I got to the hair salon just in time. As to how that went, see the thread, What's bothering you right now. Yeah. So I came out of that and wanted to drive away but a delivery vehicle was blocking me. I had to wait. I drove to 2 libraries to write some yelps about the jerks but there were some parking and other issues so I came to the mall. That took a while. And then I did that, and I saw a friend. And now I'm here.

I am getting close to 6,000 views of my blog; two comments.
I write things. I write restaurant reviews, letters to CEO's, letters of complaint, a recipe for spicy tofu, an article on how to cook with cast iron pots. I write them in my notebook.

Last night I went swimming at 10:00 p.m. I wanted to eat three meals a day so I left the house at 11:00 p.m. last night and went to Taco Bell. Then I drove around for a while listening to the car radio. Then I went to a supermarket that is open all night. I bought some food. I got the stuff home about 1:30 a.m. and read my magazine and ate a peppermint patty, which is my favorite food. I got up late and made breakfast. Then I rested. Then I made a quadruple batch of coconut popover batter. It was something. I wanted to bake it but I could not then. I was maxed out. I was nervous because the coconut milk won't last that long but I had to put it off. I did quite a few dishes. Then I rested. Then I came to the big mall and I got a falafel. I smuggled in some sugar snap peas and grapes. Then I bought some chocolate for later, then I came here to the Apple Store.
Wow.

Then I came to a thrift shop and got two coffee cups, one with a lid, a fascinating piece of paper art for 25 cents and two books about healing: total $6.25. I got in a conversation with some people. Then I came to the library.
I wish I could have bought some baked goods at the farmers market but it was five dollars for a loaf of bread.
It was a good day and I'm still in it. I'm feeling good about stuff that's going on.

The one guy from the group that I talked to was perfectly pleasant. He was ecstatic to be attending a religious service in his own language--but--it's not a contradiction for some other people from this part of the world to pray and steal or--whatever. Anthropologists used to call them "Janus-Faced" before that kind of statement went out of fashion.
I wasn't worried about them stealing but I didn't want to leave my car in a crowded garage with their cars. They would all have to leave shortly and I just didn't like the dark swirling energy. It was freaking me out. I just couldn't focus to pray and I had to make a decision so I left. I'm glad I'm learning to listen to energy and change plans, if need be.
I had some Chinese food. I got some duck buns and a rice cake for later. On my way out of the food court I was staring at the picture of the Thai Iced Coffee. It looked so good. The elevator I was headed to was out of order but I found another. I came here to the computer store. Luckily, Darth Vader isn't here! I am going to get some fruit salads from the Japanese Food court.
Damn, Darth Vader's sister told me I have to get off the computer. Well, bye for now.

Anyway. I got up at 7:00 a.m. I tried to remain positive and focused. I called a support line to try to sort something out. I made breakfast. I followed my supplement regimen. I combed out my hair, washed it and put a tea rinse on it. I watched T.V. The T.V. news people are fascinated by the C.I.A. director's resignation due to an extra-marital affair. They want to talk about it every minute but they have about two minutes worth of facts about it. It's interesting, but not every minute. I ate left over Chinese food for lunch. I tried to track down the delivery schedule for some cinnamon buns. I contemplated trying to do some real work from the Apple Store. I went to the bank. It was a beautiful day. I found a parking spot at the mall. I'm here.

Went to a vegan restaurant. I had just missed the lunch hours. Shucks! Went to the Japanese car wash. Somehow my car smelled like Febreeze when it came out, but it was cleaner. I wash it every six months or so. I took it to the mechanic but they had stopped taking cars for the day. Gulp. It was only 3:20. I came to the mall. Just as I was almost here the idle started acting up uproariously. Took it to the nearest gas station to have the oil topped off as I should have a few days ago. Hope that wasn't it. Hope it wasn't anything I didn't do. Maybe it's that defective solonoid that that idiot put in it and wouldn't replace. Sigh. How can I keep on top of all the defective stuff? How can I? So I will take it in early tomorrow for diagnosis. I was in the middle of trying to be a good car owner. This is like your kid coming down with scarlet fever in the middle of a check up.
Carefully came to mall using neutral instead of idle whenever possible. Was my big mall day for me. I DESERVE A DAY FOR MYSELF. I deserve it.
I went to Don'tHaveASoul* Foods and was again disappointed with the buffet. We DON'T WANT TONS OF OIL ON OUR VEGGIES, that's why we are in a health food store. They say everything is fresh but it looks frozen. Got some salad, pasta and chicken. An Asian woman was picking up each piece of chicken with the tongs and putting them back down. This went on for quite a while, until I could get at it. Ate my lunch sharing a table with an elderly woman with a white Apple laptop. She was kind. There was a group of parents with toddlers near by, some kind of organization. Then I came to the computer store
This was supposed to be my day.
*name has been changed.

I'm only getting an hour of computer time and I wish it was two. Three minutes to go.
I got a free avocado at Chili's because I complained about something but I turned down a free dessert. Didn't need that.

No Bite Left Behind
Story of a Day of Gluttony
Something about chronic sleep deprivation and bad produce was making me ravenously hungry. I ate bacon, eggs, brown rice porridge with black strap molasses, yogurt, herbal coffee substitute and half a sad orange.
Later in the day I went to the big mall. They let me use the computer at the computer store longer than usual. Normally at this mall I have some nice healthy Asian noodle soup for dinner, but I didn't want to. I went to the food court to get some pepperoni pizza. There were 45 mintues til closing time but they didn't have any pepperoni pizza left. Then I saw some good looking roast potatoes. They let me try one and it was good. My head started to turn in a different direction. I ordered Chicken Vesuvio, veggies and a salad. The cashier was so off kilter, I had to ask for my change four times. They dish out some large side orders at this place. An older Asian guy sniggered at the amount of food I was ordering. I gave him a look. "This is what a meal looks like and this is what a woman looks like. You can't afford either one." is what I thought to say to him later.
I enjoyed the meal. There were twice as many potatoes as I wanted. It seemed wrong to leave behind perfect roast potatoes so I got them down. After the meal I was jonesing for a diet coke but I had two gumballs instead.
I went to the bookstore. I sat down at a book display table in my wheelchair and dove in, reading all the books that I wanted. Conclusion: Scientologists suck and there's some people that can't write that wrote a book about a volcano. Some people chuckled when they saw me sitting at the table like that. The manager said I looked very comfortable. As much as I ever am.
A guy was around wearing a black, baglike garment with his face made up like a skull. Turns out he stole something. Too on the nose? Towards the end of the night the music was off and the staff were razzing each other. Examples, said to a heterosexual male, "They probably got lice from you and your boyfriend." and "You like the kind who are rough around the edges, the kind who don't take a bath every day." Did someone put crack in their coffee? Normally I like it when they turn the music off.
I decided to have ice cream for dinner. I was dreaming about pink peppermint ice cream. I went to a supermarket. I knew they wouldn't have it but I just wanted them to. I got some Haagen Dazs butter pecan. There was an athletic Asian lady in front of the Haagen Dazs knocking pints of it into her basket like a drunken pirate raiding a rich man's liquor cabinet. When she saw me, she stopped abruptly and walked away.
At the cash register, a semi-homeless serial killer looking guy was buying two pounds of fresh berries and some cut up papaya. I spoke to him and he was perfectly pleasant. Just goes to show . . .T
The Asian lady is probably the serial killer in the situation.
I came home. With the first bite of the Hagen Daas I realized that it was chalky. I turned the container around and saw that Haagen Dazs was owned by Dreyers. Who owns them? Nestle, I guessed. Fuck you Nestle.*Nevertheless I ate the whole pint. Chalky or no, there were no bites of ice cream left behind.
* Dreyers actually is owned by Nestle.

I went to a new hairdresser. Set two alarms. The cell phone one was set for 8:00 but it went off at 8:10. What's that about? Passive aggressive. I washed and conditioned my hair. Ate breakfast, did all the stuff . . . Threw my vitamins in one cooler bag and hair products in another one. I was on time even though I left later than I expected. A lawyer called me back when I was on my way out the door but I told him I'd have to talk to him later because I did not want to be late. The consultation lasted for over an hour. There's a lot of different ideas on what to do. . . . It seems like going from red to blonde is really complicated. I did everything I could to research and get along with this hairdresser and look respectable and whatnot, so we'll just have to take it from there.That appointment was headspinning. I hope it works out. I am in a suburb. I went to another mall within this same suburb to a health food store to eat lunch. It's this little health food store where they have a wierd take on everything. They don't have the stuff I want in the bulk bins. This supplier can't get dried pineapples due to the dried pineapple shortage. Which there isn't one. Everything they make seems to have beets or weird spices in it. Their vegan baked goods cost twice as much as they should, are twice as heavy and have nuts and dates and seeds in them. I had chicken risotto but it had capers and thyme in it. That was the least weird thing they had. And yes, capers and thyme don't belong with chicken and risotto. Did aliens take over your taste buds? I shouldn't say that. They are really nice and courteous . . . but still. I'm doing the best I can since the Don't Have A Soul Foods thing. At least I ate a nice nourishing hot lunch even though it was infested with capers. Those things are still fighting with me.

Invented a natural deodorant. Made up a batch of that. So far, so good.
Then I rested and read Rolling Stone. It wasn't the infamous Boston Marathon issue. That wasn't in the bookstore yet, if they are even going to sell it. All the news shows are talking about the controversy of putting an attractive picture of the bomber on the cover but they all used the most attractive picture of him they could get. Even if they could be monsters, attractive people bring in viewers.
Called some prayer lines about a matter.
Heated up a steamed vegetable to eat with takeout food. Loaded up my wheelchair with stuff. Got some pastelles and other stuff to eat. Ate dunch outside the restaurant cause it was the only seating they had. The air was hot and still. Lots of big cars in a small parking lot. Non-white blue collar types like that restaurant and they apparently don't think much about conserving energy.
Debating where to go and what to do about a matter at hand. Don't want to get brought down. Want G_d to handle it. Should I go to the library and try to deal with their nonsense? Or the other place? I came to the other place. That miasma around the library just sucks. I knew their air conditioner would not be working right, etc. So I came in here.

I decided to go to the beach, since it would be nice and empty. For the first time in years, I swam in the blue green water. The salt water and the sea air are so elemental. After my swim, still wet in the parking lot, I opened the letter. It was pretty good news. Whew. I went to the little convenience store that I hadn't been to in years. $6.00 for a fresh juice. Whoa. Eventually came to the mall. It's full. A gentle sprinkle of rain falls. The hair is still and heavy. No businesses were closed even though some government employees were told not to come to work and they closed some government offices.
I'm the opposite of everyone else. If everyone else is supposed to stay out of the beach, I go, if I feel it is safe. I didn't waste this day. This day is the start of something. It is my time. Maybe it's a disaster to some but I will use this time.

Got up, made breakfast, listened to radio instead of TV, health show, then switch to TV. Watched News. Ugh. Had middle eastern food for lunch. Got some veggies together to eat with dinner. Put frozen turkey and tea in lobby or others to take, took magazines, pens and a glass coffee cup left by others. Planned to lift weights and go to hardware store but sleep-drove to where I am now. Looked for fruit to buy in White Man's Food Maze but it was all sad or overpriced. Came to where I am to use computers. Tried to remember two cool blog posts I had written in my head. One retrieved and posted. Wrote stuff on here.
Just retrieved the other another one, a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about men who possess more than they have earned. So current. I think there was another one in my head but this was also there.
