From last year Sept/Oct 2024: So today was a fucked up day, but I’ll start with the positive! I woke up … well I didn’t sleep much last night! A good friend I thought I had in AA yelled at me on the phone about my trauma, so I told him… I have to hang up on you and click mother F*cker! He of course is still welcome at the 630am meetings but I’ve been too nice to him and don’t like being disrespected! Okay so that wasn’t positive but I started to get ready for AA at about 5am and brought my dog Dexter to the morning meeting at 630am on the patio! I usually sit on the patio, but since there was a little boy dog and the little boy dog Mom didn’t want him around my giant Sweetheart dog.. I sat on the swing! Dexter was so so good and got lots of love!! He took a giant smelly poop on our way out in the parking lot, but unlike some rude annoying people who expect other people to pick up their messes, I had some poop bags… picked it up.. threw it in the trash outside. So simple, yet so many people litter and leave big shit next to the dumpsters in my housing complex and HOA (I’m friends with the President … she invited me to the Gaslight Theater with her and some church friends this Saturday night!! I know my blogs are super long and if you don’t want to read them,. That’s fine! Just don’t complain to me that they are too long! I will be writing books so soon!

So Dexter and I went to Poco and Moms with my Gramps Fritz (my angel) and saw our amazing friend and waitress Amanda! I enjoyed some grapefruit juice for my Uncle Scotty and my Gramps’ and my fav breakfast … chile relleno with green chile sauce, hash browns, eggs over medium! Had a couple cups of coffee and chilled on the patio by the beautiful water fountain!

I had a rough day with some hard stuff to do! Cried a lot .. vented a lot to the appropriate people, and got my shit done! Was hungry so I wanted to go to Zinburger… I ended up sitting right next to the spot where I last saw my Uncle Scotty about 12 or 13 years ago before he died. I had the goat cheese special burger! Cause they brought goat cheese back on the menu and it had all my other favs like sautéed onions! But on the way, I stopped at an AA meeting to use the bathroom and catch the end of the meeting …well I left early too cause I was so hungry! Met a nice woman there and gave her my card. The rest of the peeps were some cool nice men! On my way to Zin, I accidentally took that turn too early into the Mercedes dealership… test drove a white 450 Mercedes convertible with leather seats, a back seat, and convertible! My fav! I told David I’d come back and buy it from him as soon as I can! After I get enough donations to start opening my first Safe Space facility! Btw I was celebrating my cousin Adam’s 44th b day! He was 6 months older than me and died of drugs when he was 33! David loves 33 and like me has 33 in his email! I told him I’d maybe buy 2! One for my future husband too or he may be so successful with his podcasts by then that he can buy his own too!

Ended up getting my nails done pink, replaced a couple dead plants! And then saw my therapist at 4pm and felt so much better after that. Went to AA.. saw some awesome people including Edward! Then I went to the grocery store and bought lots of food cause I’ll have friends over the next few days and/or my neighbors and their kids!

Came home and let out some anger by putting away food, taking out the trash and cooking a simple dinner.. mini tacos in the oven ! Yum! I only ate one so far! Was really wanting to write! I’ve been too nice to my prison guard roommate and don’t like how he’s trying to take advantage of me in crisis! We will do month to month starting Nov 1st and usually rent goes up! He negotiated $200 less! Don’t think he knows how the real World works yet so I will talk to him again on Nov 1st, and we will see what he wants to do! I conquered my mouse fear after he offered to help and kept “forgetting” to check the kitchen in the morning! So I don’t need a man and don’t want to feel like I owe any man anything!

Think that’s about it! Going to enjoy my tacos in my room .. have to if I want to eat in peace without my sweet Dex right in my face!
