Thirty Days in the Forest.
Thirty Days in the Forest Day 1- March 6, 2015 Friday 6:10pm Everything went as planned after we had changed the original plan. Instead of hiking out to the center of a Federal Wilderness Area we...
A routine?
I was up and out by 6am again this morning. Today was strength. I had brought my reading glasses so I was able to decipher the instructions to the machine. I worked out for a half hour. I’ve nev...
First day.
I was out of the house at 6am this morning. I had put on a new white T-shirt, my old shorts I now sleep in because my pajama pants had disintegrated, a pair of new socks and my new shoes. I walke...
Handicap parking & NPR
We were up at 6am. Mom took a quick shower. “Do you need to use the bathroom before I get in there?” “Nah, I’m fine.” I realized after she got in there I should have gone for it. Good thing ther...
A productive day.
I spent over an hour this morning typing an entry. And lost it somewhere while copying and pasting. I then spent two hours trying to find where the fuck it went to. The Word program auto saves ev...
I'm here.
The flight was great. We flew off into a fairly clear sky right on time. I had nabbed the last seat on the flight and it turned out to be a window seat. And with the sky clear I was able to guess...
On my way, once again.
I’m sitting at the airport, two-and-a-half hours before my flight. I just had Jassy and Clayton drop me off before their class rather than be in a hurry to do it during their morning break. Less ...
A sign of life entry?
I’m still alive. Thirty days in the wild. Glorious. I kept my handwritten journal with an entry every day. Some day it’ll be transcribed and posted here. Trivia, really. Okay . . . The week befor...
Clock is ticking.
Saturday evening we went over to the student union to use the internet. I didn’t quite get caught up on everything. Sunday I spent the day sorting backpacking gear and repackaging food. The pile...
Cold!!!
Friday Feb. 27, 2015- It’s cold! The flight home was nice. An hour late taking off, but nice. Mom had the alarm set for 4:30am but woke me up at 3:45am. We were at the Mesa airport at 5:30am.The ...
A cold walk coming.
Last Tuesday my brother and sis-in-law showed up, on their return from San Diego. Only they had detoured by way of Las Vegas. While in Vegas they got remarried by Elvis. Too cool. I remember tel...
Another book.
I finished reading “The Blind Assassin” by Margaret Atwood. I took it back to the RV park library and found a non-fiction book to read. Maybe I can finish this one up before I leave. It’s been ne...
Bad news.
My sis called a couple of days ago. She had been feeling puny for weeks and had went to a herbalist and then a doctor. The prognosis was kidney infection and something going on with adrenal gland...
Siblings.
I forgot to mention that my little sis came up from Maricopa last Saturday to visit for a few hours. I had made a roast with taters for supper and we played a couple of games of Aggravation. It w...
Lame game.
Friday it rained all day. A steady non-stop rain. By Saturday morning the rain had stopped but it remained cloudy all day. Yesterday it was sunny but somewhat cool. Mom and I watched the Superbo...
A sarong?
It rained yesterday morning. But by noon it was warm enough to go to the pool for a few hours. A good book, seventy-five degrees, and some very warm sun. Nice. Jassy called and we talked for a wh...
Break from the sun.
The weather here in The Valley of the Sun wasn’t optimal for lazing by the pool for the last couple of days. Day before yesterday it was too windy. Warm but windy. Yesterday it was too cool, bare...
Life's a bitch?
In my previous life (pre 2008/09 meltdown) my only plans were to get up in the morning and go back to work. For the last six years there have been no long term plans. The last plan I made was to...
Forty days.
It was warm enough to hang out at the pool yesterday. It’s supposed to be even warmer this afternoon. It looks like at least the whole coming week will be warm enough for a few hours every aftern...
Lovely.
I finished painting. Mom is happy with how it turned out. It only took me five weeks. Actual work time was probably less than forty hours. Not too bad. I finished reading “Under the Banner of Hea...
Seriously.
Yesterday I finished painting the living room and getting everything put back in order. It really looks nice except for a tiny bit of paint that had seeped under the masking tape. No big deal. I’...
Just saying.
Yesterday morning I used the last of the light green paint on one wall in the bathroom. I then went to the pool to read for a few hours. The sun was hot. The pool was warm. I found out after re...
Some sunshine!
I got the inside of Mom’s bedroom closet painted yesterday. I was finished up by 12:30pm. It was warm enough to go lay by the pool for a few hours. It was actually warm enough to lay out after sw...
Desert snow.
Woke up yesterday, the first day of the new year to snow on the Superstitions. Not just a dusting but a light coat all the way down to the valley floor. Beautiful indeed. Mom said that she had ne...
New Year's Eve!
Yesterday I painted the living room. I finished off the second 60 yard roll of masking tape and started on the third roll. Ridiculous. I started about 10am and finished about 4pm. I had everythi...
