The current time is 02:22PM and I have finished reading more articles to make me think too much. I am also inclined to laugh at myself as I continue to struggle with understanding what people are telling each other.
I awoke this morning around 08:44AM to the smell of fried food from downstairs and to the sound of ‘Kali-Maw’s knocking on the wall to announce breakfast is served. We had two toasts with butter and fried eggs. ‘Kali-Maw’ and I had our usual dose of coffee while ‘Shiva-Paw’ had his warmed milk.
Cleaning up was the done after listening to ‘Kali-Maw’ converse about how people need to help those in need, especially those being harmed. I’ve learned that retired folks don’t have much pension because of other costs being tacked on to cover the increased benefits elsewhere.
I took my much need shower with my new lavender scented suds to wash away my stink. Then all three of us headed out the door around 10:30AM to enjoy the Sunday. The day was indeed sunny with clear blue sky overhead.
We decided to go get four different crinkly cotton fabrics for ‘Kali-Maw’s sewing project. I’ll be getting three pants to wear around the house and hers will be a blouse to match her pants. But we arrived too early at 10:45AM because the stores in the West Gate Mall in Saratoga, CA didn’t open until 11:00AM.
While waiting for the stores to open, we did see lots of flowers that were on display at the mall floor. These have been judged and I took photographs of some flowers to add to my collection. The attached photo shows lots of balls shaped flowers. I love their shape and are quite round.
Others are huge and monstrous and almost as tall as a small child. Some had petals that stuck out like a bad hair job. Several were fiery in red color or soft as pink. There were single shots and others presented in three or five arrangements.
So after enjoying the flowers, we managed to get our sale items. But before we left the Hancock Fabrics store in Saratoga, CA, we complained to the cashier that this ‘cucaracha cutter’ was being snotty to us by claiming that ‘you don’t need education’.
Note: People, if you hear this sort of crap from non-Americanized mentality, this shows that they themselves are smart, right? Too bad she showed her true color by knowing better than the three of us college-educated folks. Like I said, we too worked hard to get where we are today.
We headed off to the Great Mall in Milpitas, CA; so ‘Shiva-Paw’ and I could walk up an appetite. We left ‘Kali-Maw’ at the fountain area. From 11:45AM to 12:30PM, ‘Shiva-Paw’ and I talked little as we made a figure-eight path to cover the mall.
We arrived to see ‘Kali-Maw’ has been talking to an Ethiopian woman of golden skin. ‘Kali-Maw’ has a friendly face that children love to smile up and her conversation with the African stranger was left interrupted as ‘Shiva-Paw’ headed off to the toilet; while I went to get more coffee to quench my thirst.
The Starbucks place took too long to process: reloading my card for 5.00USD notes; ‘Kali-Maw’s Freshly Brewed coffee of 1.40USD notes and my C.L. Mocha espresso of 2.40USD notes. After waiting, my parents came over.
So we decided to drink our coffee and have lunch at Popeye’s chicken place. We shared spicy fries and chicken parts of mild spice. My parents had mashed potato with Cajun gravy. The meal, for me, was salty.
After that, we went home and I used the toilet quite well. That means I’m eating too much yet good enough so that the production doesn’t hurt either. (Sorry: I’m gross! ) Laundry is being done and I’ve little more to add to the blog.
