New Blood (Mentally)...
MONDAY, JULY 11, 2011
Mood - I went to bed around 11:00 pm. I didn't eat after 9:00 pm. I woke up at 2:46 am. I tried to sleep. I read "Shakey". I went outside and burned some incense. I came upstairs and went online and posted videos of music that was suppose to help me sleep part of the "yearning" playlist. I finally went to sleep again at 7 am. My mood: I felt motivated J was coming with boys once I got up and woke up. Last night an insight: "I live under the impression that I'm not a real person. I fit no mold. What i'm doing, what I am are so distant from what it seems that humanity expects from a person that I might as well not have an address. I own nothing because what I have cannot be sold."
Physical - I got up around 1:00 pm. My knee is sore and hurts this morning. I took the meds. when I got up. I mowed the front lawn. I went swimming and into Wakefield and set the table. I also walked Pier Beach with J, J-C and A.
Woke up - I woke up 1:00 pm the next door was still doing construction. I stuck some earplugs this morning before going to sleep at 7 am. I read "Shakey" a little more. Mom was going into town to get paint to coat the new bulk head. I also took the gummi vitamins at 4:00 pm and the allergy/excedrin around 1:15 pm.
Activities - I woke up to go to the bathroom. I took the meds. for the allergies and migraine. I took out the ear plugs. I lay in bed reading "Shakey" a little while. I went downstairs and ate an onion bagel before Mom and I left for Benny's. I fed the fish around 2:00 pm.We saw Steve in the parking lot and talked with him a while. He told Mom that he may bring her some soft shelled clams tomorrow. We came back and set the supplies for painting out next to the bulk head. As Mom painted the bulk head I mowed the front lawn and under the clothes line.
We both were tired and hot and decided to go swimming after I looked at the shore to make sure the tide was high enough. When I went upstairs to change I noticed that Jane had just called me. So I called her back and she said she'd be over in 10 minutes could we wait for her before swimming? About 5:00 pm we went for a dip at Lil' Comfort inlet. The menidia were swimming but at the opposite side of the shore. A was afraid of the sole male horseshoe crab that was walking close to the shore. We all got in and swam to the opposite shore as we talked and waded. We sat on the ledge and talked some more. Wrapped in towels, we walked to the house and J asked if she could use the grill. Eventually they left for Dutch Inn (which is in bad shape,) and Mom made Dad and herself dinner. I got into the bathroom and took a cool long shower, rinsed off my bathing suit after I cleaned myself. I wrung out my clothes and wrapped myself in a towel. I changed slowly into some clothing. I headed downstairs and assembled dishes and utensils for the cookout.
J brought some pork chops, hot dogs and steak sliced narrow to grill around 7:00 pm. Mom had made Jell-o salad with raspberries and mango. She also brought out some chips from the 4th that hadn't been opened yet, cheese balls and sour cream and chive chips. I made some pink lemonade and Mom had brought out the sun tea she had brewed today. K showed up, said "hi!" but didn't stay. We grilled and talked and ate s'mores. We brought in the leftovers and dishes.
A was having a bit of a hard time controlling himself. His meds. had worn off. J wanted to go to George's so the boys could run around and burn some energy off. Since the parking lot was too crowded we drove on until finally ending up at Pier Beach. We walked the length of the beach to the Dunes' Club. We walked back and my knee started to really hurt. J dropped me off at home and I told her I'd see her at the beach in the morning.
Once I came home I unloaded the dishwasher and rinsed off the plate holders. I refilled the ice cube bin and refilled the cube trays to make more ice. I went on line and I guess my video posting last night wasn't too offensive. I have to catch up on the blogs I haven't posted in the past 3 days.
WRAP - I wrote today's blog. I wrote today's Daily Page. I found a link online.
Plans for Tomorrow I plan on getting up. I plan on going to George's with J, J-C and A. I may work on decorating the piñata.
{I want to change a bad habit so that I 1) Stop doing something bad 2) exchange the bad action with a positive action 3) and get a result that will help me in my life.}
A reminder: July 11th, 12th and 13th Jane is planning on coming to the Dutch Inn with her boys. On the 19th is the RIBSG at Warwick Public Library room 100, 6:30 pm. Mom will be going to NY the weekend of C's birthday, the 15th and the 14th August. E is planning on going with her so I need to plan for at least 2 days worth of menus. I need to papier-mâché the piñata's trap door closed and decorate it the July birthday party cookout. I can't find the little gifts from the last piñata. I also need to wrap E's, L's and SM's gifts (when SM's gift comes.) ALSO CALL JONNYCAKE CENTER FOR FOOD BASKETS OR EXTRA FOOD. AND MAIL THE ENVELOPE TO HUMAN SERVICES.

Things that gave me joy today and things that made me feel better about myself:
Joy: Seeing J, J-C and A.
Made me feel better about myself: All the activity I did today.

Tip of the Week - In Someone Else's Shoes:
Empathy, Understanding & Love
"Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing."
- Rachel Naomi Remen
SO, SO TIRED - Sleep, Wake Up, Sleep...
SUNDAY, JULY 10, 2011
Mood - I went to bed around 5:00 am but didn't sleep until 6 am. I ate after 9:00 pm because the show was at 8:00 pm. My mood: I felt headachy and crappy all day and anxious about the drive to Old Saybrook.
Physical - I got up around 12:00 pm. My knee is sore this morning especially since we walked around Mohegan Sun last night, it got worse later on. I took the meds when I got up. I was not looking forward to going to Old Saybrook to pick up M and D. I went swimming.
Woke up - I woke up 12:00 pm. I stuck some earplugs in last night before going to bed. I read "Shakey" a little more before leaving for Mohegan Sun. I forgot to take the pills until around 4 pm. I forgot the gummi vitamins
Activities - I woke up late at 12 pm, I'd closed my curtains because by the time I got to bed the sun was starting to come up. So with earplugs and curtain drawn I was in a womb of darkness. I got up very groggy. I went down stairs and ate last night's left overs. Ribs, pulled pork, dirty rice and coleslaw were almost as good this morning after I warmed everything but the coleslaw. Mom and I went swimming down back around 4:00 pm. I rinsed off afterwards and let my swim clothes drip dry in my bedroom. J and K had called so I returned their calls but got no pick-ups. I talked to n for a bit about her bad two weeks. She had to deal with family court and her daughter acting bad and her ex-husband being totally irresponsible while she got hung out to dry. K came by and I told him we'd leave at 5:30 pm since M texted me that she and D would be in Old Saybrook at 7 pm instead of 6 pm. I cleaned up and dressed leisurely. K told me he couldn't use his car because the tranny was screwed up. So I asked Mom for her car and alerted C that we would need him to be around in case of an emergency. Since it was Sunday the tourist traffic was bad going to Wakefield, of course. On route 1 it was fine until we got to the connector between Westerly and 95. 95 was worse and it took us about 2 hours to drive to Old Saybrook. We took exit 67 but ended up on a large road probably route 1A. I went into a Mobil and asked an Indian guy were the train station was. It wasn't far away, just two lights down and on the left. I had bought a Diet Mountain Dew and sipped it as K drove there.
I called M and we met her and D at the train drop off. We left 8:00 pm and drove to the Kingston Station. We talked on the way. D doesn't look as I had imagined him. I thought he'd be a tall dark haired lanky kid. He was actually a light haired medium sized guy. It seemed though that he and M really were good together. We dropped them off hugged and went to find something to eat. K wanted Spike's Junk Yard Dogs but they had left the Emporium. Not much else was in the Emporium that I wanted to deal with so I suggested Tony's Pizzaria.
K went and had a smoke after I sat down in the booth. I ordered a water and waited to order my meal until he came back. I had a Pasta Mama: Ziti with 3 meatballs, marinara, a side salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette and a bread stick. I love their bread sticks. K had a bacon cheese burger. k wanted to walk around somewhere but I told him my knee really hurt. Much of the ride there I kept wanting to pass out. he took me home and again asked me if I wanted to get some coffee. I just wanted to cry. I went to my bed room and passed out at 11 pm.
I woke up again around 3:46 pm and went downstairs after reading didn't help me go back to sleep. K was passed out on the day bed. I shut off the television, his bedroom light and closed his computer. I went outside and burned some incense and went back in afterwards. I then went online; I still couldn't sleep! finally as the sun came up fully at 7 am I closed the curtains and fell asleep.
WRAP - I wrote nothing today.
Plans for Tomorrow I plan on getting up. I plan on finishing the blogs for Friday and Thursday and hopefully Sunday too. J, J-C and A are coming tomorrow after visiting Block Island. G's friend never came today to look at Mom's antiques. We have to get the metal picked up and located together for the metal run with James.

SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2011
E'S BIRTHDAY
Mood - I went to bed around 5:00 am. I didn't eat after 9:00 pm. My mood: I felt headachy and crappy all day.
Physical - I got up around 2:00 pm. My knee is sore this morning. I felt the allergies today and forgot to take the meds. until 4:00 pm. My leg improved it's sore all day but not in serious pain. I went swimming.
Woke up - I woke up 2:00 pm. I stuck some earplugs in last night before going to bed. I read "Shakey" a little more before leaving for Mohegan Sun. I forgot to take the pills until around 4 pm. I forgot the gummi vitamins
Activities - I woke up late at 2 pm, I'd closed my curtains because by the time I got to bed the sun was starting to come up. So with earplugs and curtain drawn I was in a womb of darkness. I got up very groggy because the afternoon was warm and muggy. Laying in bed reading "Shakey" I took a break. Mom asked me to help her move the plate glass from behind the shed so she could stain it. When I finished my bathroom ablutions and excretions I wandered downstairs blearily looking for her. I went back upstairs when I couldn't find her. Eventually I just went down and moved the glass myself to the front of the shed. 2:30 pm we went for a dip swimming across Lil' Comfort inlet. Paul followed us meowing and panting at the same time. Once we got in the water he wandered off into the bushes by the road. The menidia swam in large schools. Menidia nibbled and darted at my legs, eating dry skin while I sat on the opposite cove on the flooded estuary. Wrapped in towels, Mom and I left the beach. I scooped up Paul who joined us on the road walking home. I carried him into the house under my towel but with a towel protecting him from my wet body. I had talked to C at some point about going to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at Mohegan Sun with E for her birthday today. Mom showered first. I fed the fish around 4:00 pm. I got into the bathroom and took a cool long shower, cleaning off my bathing suit as I cleaned myself. I wrung out my clothes and got into my terry cloth robe then hung out my wet suit. I cleaned up and dressed leisurely. I received a notice in the mail from Human services that they hadn't received my Interim report that I sent on June 27th. I called them and told them when I sent it and that I still haven't received a card for medical assistance and punched holes in the report and put it in the WRAP Daily Pages. I went on line and started 3 days worth of blogs that I had forgotten. This week has been a wanderly week of wastedness. I can't remember what day it is and whether I did the blog or the Daily Page each day. I'm not sure if mentally I am overwhelmed or if I am so relaxed that I am losing myself. It is disturbing to me. It's not the first time this has happened. a monday holiday can really screw up my weekly schedule.
Eventually C took his shower and dressed much later than he planned. We left about 6:30 I think. As we drove to NK I thought he was picking up Cy but it turned out he was going to the NK Wally World. I bought a Diet Mountain Dew ($1.50) for the caffeine. C wanted a dress shirt, he'd dressed in a nice suit jacket and good pants. He got the shirt and also a pair of suspenders. He dressed in the parking lot then we took off down route 102 to go to CT. C put on some big band music, Louie Prima and Goodman. We traveled the beautiful back roads with this music playing.
Once we got to Mohegan Sun we parked in the Winter self park lot. M got there just as we did. We went in and met him at the bar near the front of the show venue. I texted E to ask where she was. She was there at the bar with L! So we kind of came together and I annoyed some people by joining E and L with M and C. After the show which was great, C, M and I walked around and just looked at people and what was around. Not such fun but I like listening to those two talk. We went to Bubba's BBQ in the Mall on the second floor. I ordered the 2 meat platter (ribs and pulled pork,) with the dirty rice and the coleslaw and a little loaf of cornbread. We left around midnight.
Once I came home I went on line. I wrote this blog. I might do the other blogs tomorrow.
WRAP - I wrote today's blog but didn't post it. I wrote today's and some of Tuesday's Daily Page.
Plans for Tomorrow I plan on getting up. I plan on finishing the blogs for Friday and Thursday and hopefully Sunday too. K and I are suppose to pick up M and D in Old Saybrook which I have to get directions for to go the back roads tonight. Tomorrow G is suppose to come with his friend to look at Mom's antiques. We have to get the metal picked up and located together for the metal run with James.

Olavi's Wake (Why Is It Called A Wake When They're Not Sleeping And Won't Get Up?)...
FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2011
Mood - I went to bed around 5:00 am. I didn't eat after 9:00 pm. My mood: I didn't think to feel. I was preoccupied with the Wake.
Physical - I got up around 12:00 pm. My knee is really sore and hurts behind my calf this morning. I felt the allergies today and took the meds. when I got up. My leg improved a little. We didn't have time to go swimming today before leaving.
Woke up - I woke up at 12:00 pm, took the allergy/excedrin meds and went downstairs. I had stuck some earplugs in last night. I went downstairs to eat the linguini with leftover chicken and spaghetti sauce and the last of the potato salad. I went upstairs to get dressed up in a black skirt, the peacock blouse and black knee stockings. I forgot the gummi vitamins.
Activities - I woke up very tired from staying up ao late last night. We left for James' house at 2:00 pm. We had to wait until 4:00 pm to leave for Millbury. I wrote a list of all the things that Dad blathered on about throughout the ride up. Once we got to Millbury we drove to the funeral home to see where it was. We drove over to the Blackstone Mall to find a restaurant to eat dinner in. Dad was okay for the meal, the regular: "do you have fat free milk?" I had an Oriental Grilled Chicken Salad.
We drove over to the funeral home and went into the foyer. After signing the registration book we waited for Earl to finish talking to someone ahead of us. He basically told us about O and how he was getting worse and going in and out of the hospital. The doctor told E that they'd have to put in a feeding tube but it wouldn't improve his quality of life any. That's when Earl had to decide whether he should continue with O in the hospital or just take him home. We went on and said "Hi," to Erik and his daughter Susan and son Ron (?). I talked to them about what was going on in their lives lately. Mom and I admired the pictures they had set in frames with Olavi in them. Once Dad started to look a bit haggard we headed to J's house.
Mom, Dad and I went in and saw SM for a brief period then headed back home. It was raining very hard for a while. Once we got home C told us that the rain came through the windows in the upstairs hallway so we sopped them up with some towels. I got online and fooled around senseless. At 10:48 pm M texted me if I could pick her and D up in Old Saybrook on Sunday. I stupidly agreed. Until about 5 am I fooled around online and finally went to sleep with earplugs in my ears.
WRAP - I wrote nothing.
Plans for Tomorrow I plan on getting up. I'm mentally fried and my brain is torturing me that I acted stupidly and that Erik is disgusted with me for talking to his kids so much.

An positive movie, kind of a Super Size Me/Juicer Infomercial mix. I'm glad the guy's immunological symptoms are in remission. I think there are many good points made.

Big Bang Theory...
THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2011
Mood - I went to bed around 5:00 am. But I didn't sleep until maybe 6 or 6:30 am. I didn't eat after 9:00 pm. My mood: I felt groggy all day and woke up with a headache.
Physical - I got up around 1:00 pm. My knee is sore but not any worse this morning. I felt the allergies today
but took the meds. automagically before I left. My leg improved.
Woke up - I woke up about 1:00 pm I had put ear plugs in before I went to bed. I didn't close the curtains so that the light wouldn't interrupt my sleep this morning. I knew Mom and I had to got to the Senior Center for the subsidized foods. Mom had to fill out the papers for them. I didn't take the gummi vitamins today but scarfed the allergy/excedrin just after I got up I believe (not sure, I'm writing this on Sunday and the Daily Page was written on Friday).
Activities - I woke up and wanted to go swimming today the air is heavy with warmth. I totally forgot about Olavi in the rush before leaving for the Senior Center. I was focused on going since Mom seemed to have forgotten and we seemed to have other things to do. I just wanted it done. While I was sleeping through this morning Arnold's Lumber had delivered the bulk head pieces. Mom was waiting for the man K C to call about putting up the bulk head that day (which he didn't). I ate the left over stir fry and rice and had some potato salad too for lunch. Mom and I drove to the Senior Center and as she filled out her paper work for the subsidized foods I took the wagon filled with cans to the car. We dropped by the Post Office and she mailed "The King and I". We drove to Dollar Tree and I picked up some craft supplies (more than the project I needed I'm also thinking of making pinwheels for the garden). We drove home just before N came to give Dad his shower.
Unloading the car en masse, I brought the bags in and opened them up one by one. I organized them: vegetables in one fabric bag with fruits, legumes and meats in another. They are stored in the basement on a metal rack. I emptied the clean dishwasher afterwards. N had come for Dad in the meantime so I parked in front of the computer until dinner time.
Grilled marinated chicken, pan fried zucchini with cheese, a green salad and chips and salsa were for dinner. I cooked the chicken while Mom fried the zucchini in the kitchen. I also assembled the outside plates and utensils as well as Dad's dinner set up. mom and I ate outside as it was sunny and warm. I picked up most of the stuff on a tray and with the wire picnic organizer. We brought everything in and I washed much of the used serving plates and even the two grills. We took a walk around Lil' Comfort I'm still trying to work my knee out not really knowing what is going on with it. Dr. Gross called while we were eating that my blood test looked normal and the part that showed inflammation was only 20% but that it would be another week until the Lyme's disease test came back.
GLITCH
I watched The Big Bang Theory with Mom and Dad.
I had started organizing the links here on the blog. I went back to organizing the links. It helped me to distract me from thinking too much about everything going on. The scrap metal, the little sister's drive, the wake for O, Grandma L, E and all the other things floating around my head especially C. I found Munroe's wenste and O's obituary. I went to bed at 5 am.
WRAP - I can't remember what I did today except found O's obituary.
Plans for Tomorrow I plan on getting up. I plan on going to the Wake tomorrow. Maybe go swimming.

Joy: Organizing the blog's links made me feel like I really accomplished something.
Made me feel better about myself: Walk around Lil' Comfort.
Sometimes I find difficult times make me feel bad about myself. One thought I find comforting is that guilt is an emotion that doesn't inspire any good feelings and try to find some other better feeling to replace it.
