I awoke at 05:45AM, got online and discovered there is little left to view except the usual dose of sensational headlines of fear, death and anger. I find more lack of interest from sitting in front of an inanimate object which is nothing more than a different box meant to keep us sedentary individuals indoors.
I opted to do something better and that is crawl back into bed. I didn’t feel like I had to sleep again but off to dreamland I went. There may have been dreams for the past month but I have not recalled or bothered to log these as part of my blogs.
The day was greeted with another blue sky as we drove ourselves to get Maw’s blood work done. Instead of waiting inside a room full of other people, I decided to do something more mundane. And that is to walk for once to burn off my fat deposits in areas that I care not to mention.
So off I went under the shades off tree, along the cemented sidewalks and among nature in her finest. The clear blue sky was amazingly refreshing as I warmed up myself with simple arm circles and other creative stretches to get the flow of blood going into my brain.
My tracks were momentarily stopped as I watched two brown squirrels played. They climbed up and down the trees and flicked their tails and then scampered off to get food elsewhere. I missed a photo opportunity because I only carried my keys.
From 09:15AM to 09:40AM, I walked up and down the area nearest the front entrance of the hospital. The day was so fine that my new, high necked, gray pull over from the company kept me warm enough from the cold days. But not too warm that I overheat.
Cold days seem to be more common in the past seasons. We seem to be having one long winter after the other. The only other time the weather would reach close to one-hundred degrees Fahrenheit is around the month of July.
I rested a few more minutes on the outdoor and saw a black squirrel looking for food among the landscapes of flower beds in front of me in the distance. I didn’t have my camera with me then but later on sat down again to try to intercept one of those critters but to no avail.
I messaged Brat to pick up his property today while waiting another thirty minutes for my bio-units. We were off to go home towards southbound 101. In the distance I saw one trail cloud being laid at around 10:30AM.
After a few minutes into the drive, the now widened, white-washed clouds were directly below this one sylph. Nothing else was seen in the sky except this one cloud above and one trail below. This is as if the timing could not have been better by both.
We decided to have brunch at the popular Filipino restaurant. Maw got angry as I told her the window shade is upside down due to the white tag was supposed to be one top. I flicked her off again as I saw her walked fast to the restaurant.
We each have similar dishes of rice, sunny side eggs and meat. All three of us packed two pieces of meat for take home because this was too much to eat in one sitting. I ate the pickled vegetables that came with the meal to aid in digestion.
The stuff burned my left throat and I had unwittingly coughed my mouthful of food across the table and towards Paw. He is a patient man and I kept apologizing for ruining his breakfast. I laughed as myself for being naughty the whole morning too.
Later, we found ourselves home and deciding what else to do. I wanted to go get my smog test and slowly backed up from the driveway. Surprisingly, we saw Brat and Twit in the black Mustang making a surprise visit.
So I pulled my gray Mustang back up the driveway and along side the couple and greeted them both with my smile of yellow teeth. I’ve not had a chance to whiten my teeth because I consider that ideal too vain to me and for now.
We talked and gave Twit more of our dishes that we do not use. My goal is to get rid of as much items from this house. Because where we are all going, we cannot take. Once again, I prefer to be the minimalist in the bio-units.
Brat finally removed three of the crates that I painstakingly loaded up with his hobbies of paints, brushes and others. He still needs to remove his magazines, CD’s, punching bag, bamboo blinds, five more models made by hand and one upright carpet steamer.
Then the issue of marriage came up by Maw. That put Brat and Twit on the spot because Maw’s opinion is that they should get married since both already have a house together. I believe that Brat, Maw and Twit have different ideas.
I can’t help this new couple have a descent marriage ceremony and reception because of many freeloaders riding on my hard working back. My immediate goals are already expressed and there are some who know better.
As these chatter boxes flapped their mouths, I watered the backyard vegetable plants; refilled the birdbath; hosed down my CB and reprogrammed the device with better intentions; took pictures of the parakeet and got close up pictures of Bugsy’s heart-shaped markings; hung my laundry to dry; and loaded Brat’s property into the trunk of the Mazda.
After we unloaded Brat’s junk into his garage, Brat sneezed loudly near Maw, who was startled and she struck him with her right hand. These old souls (or masters) do not always understand their sense of humor is not always amusing and does annoy the rest of us.
With karma being the law of return, she had bled underneath the unbroken skin. Her wound from today’s blood work with the butterfly needle did not thoroughly heal and she had this painless bruise that was taped with the help of Twit.
As we prepared to go with the chatter box making noise, there was a major sylph formation overhead. I got my camera out and took pictures from Brats driveway around 12:35PM. The formation was located northwest.
We found ourselves back home and to my surprise they were directly overhead. This is where I took more pictures of the sylphs around 12:40PM. The southern most section of this formation marked the border of our house.
The northern most section is probably a good couple of miles long. This is the biggest and most beautiful one I’ve seen so far in the Bay Area. I’ve uploaded some pictures into this Yahoo! 360 profile today. They moved or waved due east in a very slow and majestic manner.
Later, we went to get my California ‘Test Only’ for certification of smog. This means I wasted my time trying to get one done today at a local place that didn’t offer this service. Test Only stations provide more accurate readings and are NOT allowed to perform repairs.
All three of us went to for a walk inside our local mall once together. Maw found herself enjoying a three minute massage from those black chairs for US1.00 notes. Maw rested near the water fountain; while Paw and I went around for another fifteen minutes.
Today, I’ve gotten one and one half hour of walking done and without the leisurely limp from a painful right knee joint. I believe my rubber sneakers provided the support compared to the cheap leather flat shoes I wore while walking with Brat that one day.
I ate two Vietnamese spring rolls leftover from Brat’s surprise birthday parties and found myself sleeping off today’s walking exhaustion from 03:30PM to 07:30PM. Furthermore, I believe I spent my precious energies yesterday night to turn some ugly red clouds to some nice white clouds as seen today.
My personal belief in love, light and laughter has brought forth the sylphs, who have heard my thoughts regarding trails were being laid earlier this morning. Fluffy white clouds continue to linger behind both the Westside hills towards the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Hamilton, CA.
