    20070713-Daily Thoughts

    Woke up 05:30AM.
    Blogged until 06:00AM.
    Maw came up talking about Paw.
    Upset and teary eyed again. Bitch!
    Paw came upstairs.
    Told him, ‘She’s talking about you!’
    Then she got mad at me for forgetting stuff like leaving water boiling-cooking while going upstairs.
    I yelled: LOSER! After telling her don’t want anything to do with you or people. I have other personal problems to deal with while opening the blinds.
    On her way downstairs she notice the hamper full of my u-nironed cotton cloths inside. She yelled ‘You are a loser!’
    I told her I’m pooping!

    The electricity fickered off at 06:2AM.
    I reversed the Benz in case the garage door does not open.
    Then we left the house at 06:45AM.

    We arrived at Beshoff on 07:00AM.
    Was talking to a technician.
    Was told to sit in waiting room.
    Got coffee for Maw and me.
    Parents talked to a mechanic named ‘Ray’.
    Maw kept emphasizing good customer service here will spread good news. Yuck!
    Ray told her that they get fired if one makes a mistake based on customer complaints.

    Had coffee and talked about my issues about NWO. Saw white lady looking at me for being too loud. Tough!

    Reg[i] the Italiano was our service manager, who hired the likes of ‘Ray’.
    Asked for name, address, phone (home and cell) and my yahoo.com email.
    Left his office around 07:35PM.
    Drove all the way back to Capitol Expressway and to Capital Ave. and to church five minutes to 07:00AM.

    Greeted the banana nut bread lady: Mercedes, who lost daughter to a murderer.

    Went shopping at Home Depot until 11:10AM after McD. Breakfast. We ranted about the stupid girl about not being able to water or care for plants.

    One big pot with cream background and pink flowers.
    Two white smaller containers – 6”.
    And One big plastic water plate for the money tree located on middle of kitchen table (as seen last night while dropping off grocery at turd’s house)
    One small bonsai stand of five fake plastic looking lacquer painted dark bloody maroon.

    Ate at hermes for lunch – eggplant omelet, fried tilapia (which is take out) and pinakbet of pork, orca, very crunchy green beans and free tinola soup that tasted of MSG.

    Washed parakeet and dried cages.
    Maw hollered again for fear of electrocution with water on orange outdoor extension cord still plugged into outlet. Grandma – take the bitch with you now!
    She threw extension cord on slant of fence and I retrieved it, dried and re-plug and she still got mad for not meaning to use that at that time. Bitch should die now!

    Picked up sunglasses at 01:30PM. Guy with island accent tightened sides of sunglasses. Look like a mafia now!
    Came home to find she cooked umpalaya dish. Nice but still a bitch.

    RE-potted commissary store palm tree plant into big pink flower pot.
    Broomed dirt.
    Fed birds.
    Brought pinakbet inside.

    Blogging 03:07PM.

    ‘napped’ until 04:15PM
    Received phoncall from dealership to pickup car.
    Parents were praying rosary
    Told them to pickup then we went

    Paw went home.
    Maw and me went to osh – silver creek.
    Looked around. bought two plastic red coaster holders for palm and pine plants.
    Left message to Paw who called back with 25” for top and 5” for bottom.

    Maw cried again on way home.
    Trying to understand in old age.
    Got mad at me for being blunt and harsh words.
    D!# b!tch!

    Went home and delivered to squirrel’s home.
    Unloaded one five legged lacquered plant holder for money tree, two plastic plant coasters, jr helped me ‘re-plant’ two of the girl’s orchids into 6” white glazed plant holders.

    Stayed 15 minutes because girl came home.
    Was hot inside house!

    Went home at ate dinner 07:15PM. But called fat ass at 07:00PM. Gave me tracking number with EExxxxxxxxxNG. (x’s are numbers). Almost finished pinakbet and umpalaya. But no more rice! TOP RAMEN! But fattening and taste is off.

    Gave Maw chocolate ice cream vanilla. Handed Paw two bathroom trashcans. Then upstairs to blog 08:47PM.

    09:08PM update:
    Deep blue skies evening skies deep blue!
    Warmer today no clouds. Some slight brown yucky horizon.

    09:08PM: saw rolling white on bottom of sight going from left to right AND while peeing in the toilet. Remember sitting down to fast on toilet. Had to put on fresh shirt prior to peeing. Still won’t take a shower! Dirty girl!

    07:33PM: Heard Paw whistling tune about ‘Don’t Cry for me Argentina’ the tune was in the middle of the song ‘ I promised I never left you’…

    11:50PM: Got up fast after reading topic to get glass of water. Thought good keep everything together. The ‘hostile’ landings in two or three weeks are for those who pissed me off. Scowling at mirror and saw two rolling lights from inside to outside from each eye simultaneously. Have head and ear pressure. How are me doing?

    Must be due to recent Larry King Live via CNN where six adult ‘males’ appeared on the show, including Buzz Aldrin astronaut and Former AZ governor who was 1997 Lights Over Phoenix as now UFO.

    20070703-Daily Thoughts

    The morning went well as I awoke early to blog once again. The skies have been amazingly clear blue, crispy with gentle, cool breezes. The month is already July of 2007 and there is not a feeling of the summer heat yet.

    I came downstairs at around 10:20AM to find my parents cooking lunch and washing the dishes. I was hoping to go to my doctor’s appointment today around 10:45AM but they decided to accompany me.

    They got dressed in five minutes and we were on the road towards the railway intersection, four more roads and onto northbound Highway 101. The traffic was light but started slowing down around my exit near Moffett Field, CA. I had another ten minutes to make the appointment.

    With slow cars in front and a couple of narrow roads due to constructions, I sped up and parked towards the right where the building was located. My parents waited inside the Benz E430 with all four windows rolled down for their comfort.

    I was in the office, paid my $15.00 and then found myself waiting and talking to the doctor about how to prevent my high cholesterol from plugging up my veins and potentially causing an early heart related disease.

    My conversation with her was positive and emphasized how I exercised thirty minutes a day after dinner with ‘Kali-Maw’. I described how much more pain free I felt and how much more grounded I felt to the earth with more balanced outlook in life and strengthened lower extremities. She shook my hands knowing her patient wanted to seek non-holistic treatment for her physical well being.

    I am grateful that my blood work did not show diabetes or thyroid problems consider my family history of heart disease and other ailments. I had no hypertension or high blood pressure. The thyroid reading was within normal range although I feel lumpy to the right side of my throat. I did notice a high count of white blood cells and probably due to my third week of this ‘flu-like’ symptom.

    I got my 20mg Lipotor brand medication and hopefully the pain associated with ‘statin’ type drugs won’t cause pain in my muscles. This painful muscle has occurred in the past and is a rare symptom. I am one in how many million that reported these pains.

    I will try ingesting this ‘medical intervention’ in the hopes of lowering my high cholesterol tonight. I am hopeful and wonder how much improvement I could obtain from

    01:45PM to 01:55PM.

    Red van CA Licencse Plate # xxxx409.

    Cuts in front of us as we turned into MY Rd.
    Any suspicious vehicles are parked near the railroad intersection.

    Followed until it exited eastbound Beryesa Rd.
    We went westbound until encountered big rig waiting at corner of L^ndy Ave. and Beryesa Rd.

    Exited right to L^ndy Rd. and encountered blue PG&E truck put out red cone to left of its rear end.

    Woke up 08:00AM.
    Clear blue skies!
    Blogged until 09:30AM.
    Ate breakfast with Maw.
    Drank four cups of coffee – regular.
    Ate Maw’s fried rice and pandisal.
    Paw finished his.
    Washed dirty table cloth along with crochets from alter.
    Showered and dried parakeets.

    Left house 11:30AM to bring Benz to smog test certification.
    Waited until 12:05PM.
    Finished 12:15PM.
    Arrived at home 12:25PM.

    Such a nice day. Maw still sewing to keep busy and mindful.

    Had dinner. Maw ranted again about Donna and Paw per phone call from Edna prior to evening mass tonight. Went to Pacific Rim Plaza II to look for bakery. Maw forgot it was supposed to be Pacific Rim Plaza I and the parking lot was crowded. Handi cap parking was occupied by chink again in black benz. They don’t care damn chinks! Decided to go home but found handicapped parking near 99 Ranch Market and bough onchoy (kang-Kong) and one $6.00 Mocha Swiss Roll.

    Danced to cassette tape from 08:28PM to 09:20PM. Paw joined for twenty minutes in the living room. Had to play cassette in my mini-boom box instead. Sound sucks.

    Took and uploaded lots of sylphs.

    Cockroach crawling on wall of white! 09:33PM.
    Wiggling but-but. Stillness for goodnite … for now bruahahah

    Tried to watch CNN and the Glascow, Scotland airport fire.
    Then the satellite fizzled and no show. Turned off TV around 10:15AM.

    Cockroach stillness looking down at me from white walls 10:45PM.
    Looking stillness. Still looking. Why?

    Brown moth lands on computer monitor 09:53PM 06/25/2007 last night.

    10:50AM 06/26/2007: finished vacuuming mustang and mazda.

    Paw awoke me 06:00AM. Then 07:00AM. Left house 07:15AM.
    Dropped off benz at dealership stevens creek blvd.

    Ate mcdonald off old Oakland rd. hot coffee warms inside but not burn tongue.
    blew green boogers.

    Paw and I picked up Benz around 02:30PM.
    Paid $587.66

    Turd called.

  • 20070624-Daily Diary

    Woke up early again at around 02:00AM or 04:00AM.
    Blogged until 07:00AM.
    Early morning sunrise was shining to my eyes.
    Slept again to my left.
    Rays of sun shine did not hurt my eyes.
    Saw bluish, whitish rings going clockwise and counterclockwise.
    Probably in my dreams.

    Heard Paw wake me up time to eat around 11:30AM lunch.
    Had slow lunch of pancit bihon and bbq chicken from two days ago.
    BBQ was for Turd too but he said he would go on Sat. instead.

    Maw and I danced to the cassette tape again.
    Maw slept until 0300PM.
    We went to Hancock fabric to look for her matching material of yellow with ocre flowers.
    The closest was a sheer rayon material at $1.95 yard. She got ½ a yard.

    We went to the Target upstairs and got one 12 quart plastic container for her feet during showering. I got a $7.99 plastic container for the parakeet seed. This is smaller and had moved the larger on to the garage.

    We exited to the right and to the sunshine were we found the Mazda. I had to edge forward because some old fart would have rear ended me while parked in the disabled parking lot.

    We debated on whether to eat halo-halo. But Paw decided to eat dinner instead. Because of his decision I ended up eating two ice cream – breyers chocolate vanilla bar and a peanut crunchy sugar cone from the freezer located in the garage.

    The parakeets were hollering for lack of food. Which was not given until 0630PM and while we had out dinner. Maw and I danced again to the cassette tape and then she showered while I blogged upstairs.

    Laundry was done in the morning and three bed linens were cleaned as well as some clothes from my hamper upstairs.

    The sky was clear blue skies with nice breeze in the evening. The end.

    I will decide to chew another bee pollen tablet. Yummy and sweet.

    Prior to the cassette tape workout, Maw ranted about Zinnia not visiting us to pick up packages to be delivered to Auntie Aida. I knew the foreigner would not appreciate older folks. These foreigners will suffer, die and be buried once and for all.

  • 20070608-Daily Diary

    Friday has been a productive day. I have called in sick after realizing I am not all that healed. I continue to cough but treat myself to puffs of asthma medication and nasal spray. I also saw the email from ‘Aura Witcheyes’ and how the AR module for applying cash would not be functional the whole.

    I awoke bright and early and open the blinds to all windows of the house, except for the master bedroom where Paw slept until 08:30AM. I saw three squirrels bounding around on top of the fence in the backyard. I missed a photo opportunity of a small black squirrel near the CB created by J—/Sensei.

    I greeted the parakeets and Maw, who had another bowl of poos-puus, which is a porridge of sweet rice and venison. I was already dressed to do some errands by 07:30AM but the oil change station, was still closed because none answered the phone as I tried to reach them. I got an unfriendly phone slamming by one of the Filipinos, who was’ working at the Speedy Oil Change in Milpitas, CA. I know because that nasty one looked fat and ugliest among the bunch. (This should tell you why I don’t date Asians as one example).

    Maw was patient enough to accompany me to the oil change station and the gas station after thirty minutes. We went to the TK Noodles off of McKee Road and found the usual unfriendly face of that Asian girl working the cash register for the longest time. Maw, as a customer, is always right and stated we were there for the clear plastic container of the logo and not the Styrofoam cup used to serve our two orders of Tapioca Jelly and 3 Beans dessert drinks.

    We saw the girl rinse Maw’s unused Styrofoam container and probably will re-use that one for the next customer. This appears gross and unsanitary and we wonder if establishments like these make that a practice while serving food to their customers. Then we went back to the parking lot and I ate almost half of mine before driving off to our next destination.

    This was a hair salon that I thought I’d try out. The sign for reverse perm was offered here and I inquired within to find out how much ($130.00) and for how long (three hours) the service would be for today. I had to drive Maw back home so she could rest and I hurriedly made my way back to the place.

    They were waiting for me and I ended up paying $155.00 (plus a handsome tip of $45.00) after five hours and thirty minutes of sitting and standing too long. The guy cut my hair two inches from the bottom after getting two lopped off one week ago by another rough Asian individual. One hour and twenty five minutes was for applying the straightening solution, another one hour and a half for the rinsing, drying and ironing, and then another one hour and a half for applying the neutralizer, rinsing, drying, ironing and trimming.

    That was fun and now I have a Goth hairdo with the long bangs covering my strong jaw line with wispyness. I told them I’d come back for the hair color but decided this basic black hair color of mine will do just fine. I will dress up now with dark clothes and make up to become another EMO for once in my life. My stupid denim jeans are dead and long live the emotional poets and creative artist in all of us. Now I’ll need to buy my dark nail polish and as such go the clothes store before going to work next week when ‘Hard-Core Red’ shows up from her vacation of Mazatlan, Mexico.

    I called Paw him I was stranded at the parking lot of the mini-mall due to the overheated alarm system locking out the ignition. Maw got the phone and started talking about my improvement and my diet, which she will help calculate for me. I told her I needed salad and then she suggested I buy a salad dressing from the nearby grocery store.

    She would not stop talking as I made my way out the car (to allow the alarm system to cool off) and to the grocery store. I panicked for a moment after realizing that I may not have enough cash for buying pandisal bread afterward. I dug around my wallet and found the remaining three, one-dollar bills, which was enough for one order of fourteen hot pandisals, which I waited for about fifteen minutes.

    So I went home and unloaded the grocery of salad dressing and bread – one for me and two for Paw. Maw was excited about my hairdo as I was excited about relief from the removal of wavy, dry hair. My hair length is no longer below my waist but below my shoulder blades. I will have to post a picture of my new hairdo soon.

    I greeted the parakeets too. Eventually, I made my way upstairs to read my emails and favorite forum with their posted articles and to enter two long journals into this WordPress.com account.

    There was very little to do at work on Thursday. After all these years, I managed to get my two fifteen minutes break by snoozing at my desk. This sleepiness occurred around 15:00PM to about 16:00PM.  I would hear the amplified sounds of co-workers nearby my cubicle due to my sensitized state. I knew then I would fall into deep sleep but had to stifle that feeling to appear busy at work.

    My travel back home was especially scary because I felt woozy and almost passed out during gridlock. I was stuck on an incline, which is a bridge over Interstate 880. The cars were not moving. And the dizzying effects of gasping for air made me roll down both my windows with the strong cool breeze blowing inside the car and turn on the air conditioner with the air blowing directly on my face for the much needed air.

    Both dose of extra air did not help me feel like my having shortness of breath. Recently, I’ve been feeling pain in my jaws, neck, and between my shoulder blades too. The head and ear pressure has been ongoing for over a year.  I’ve been irritable and snappy lately, too. I had to schedule a doctor’s appointment for that annual physical check up to make sure my system is running normally.

    The evening wore on and I couldn’t stay in front of my home computer. I actually went downstairs and stayed the whole evening to hear Maw tell her stories of pain and suffering and how she overcame obstacles that allowed her to realize how futile her concerns are for other people other than herself. She went on to blame Paw for his lack of emotional support with compassion and understanding for others than himself and for his high defensiveness to protect his decision making abilities.

    After removing ourselves from the master bedroom where the original rant occurred, we found our way to the family room. Here, she treated her asthma with the machine. We also had a late snack of poos-puus (a Filipino porridge dish of sweet rice and venison) and watched the late night show to end the night of long talks.

  • 20061030-Updating Blast

    ‘To blog in private mode as my current path: Thankinglyfully. 10:22PM 10/27/2006. Final answer: You plus me equals us. One in three means Unity. 10/29/2006 01:55PM. Grade: A+’

    I’ve been updating my blast and found that some people are reading. This is by my comparison to a particular thread I’ve been reading. The date stamp of this forum author coincides with my posted blast time of 10:22. My counter is up by three more as of today.

    I feel like blogging more nonsense and then publicizing more so I could offend the losers that continue to hound me at work and on the road. This newest incident occurred after taking my lunch from home between 01:30PM and 02:00PM today.

    Again, about one quarter of a mile from my exit back to work, this white car pulls from a parked position. The far right lane and the land to my left were both clear and not heavily traffic.

    This white four-door sedan has signaled its intention to move immediately into my lane as I approached within a distance of three cars breath. I signaled right to show the drivers behind me what this car was about to do upon my intersecting its location.

    I then swerved obviously from the far right lane into the next but clear lane to my left. I was doing approximately 60MPH. I wonder if the camera off northbound highway 101 had captured the idiot’s move.

    I then swerved back immediately in front of this car and sped up some more to finish my exit. I saw this motorcycle with one very large headlight hurry along from the third lane and in no time appeared right behind me. He looked Asian.

  • 20060930-September Day

    Good morning to another cold and cloudy morning. I awoke at 07:30AM and opened all the upstairs windows to allow the fresh air to circulate inside the house after removing my ozone generator since this Thursday because of the possible health risk from prolonged exposure to ozone. I do not know if this is true and find breathing fresh air from outside better.

    From around 03:15AM to 03:30AM, there were several police cars speeding approximately 40MPH westbound in a rhytmic beat over a indented manhole located in the middle of the intersection. There were two vehicles speeding in between two police cars. There were approximately one dozen patrol cars speeding down this stretch of road.

    I lost my ‘20060620-Rhazzy Cat’ poem because I wanted to email Edge my masterpiece. I saw several more pictures of his fluffy cat and am disgusted at myself for saving the bad copy to my archive. I will attempt to re-create my poem but the original is lost forever. Waaa!

    I smell ‘Kali-Maw’s fried rice cooking from downstairs and the distinct smell of garlic has been working its way upstairs for a few minutes now. I should have taken my quick shower but had to spend thirty minutes online reading articles and verifying my credit card payments. I am down to a few hundred dollars as emergency money. I have been been sustained with these little blessings.

    This, my friends, is my fate. But the more noticeable image of my alien currently etched on my forehead tells me better days have always been here and now. I have what looks like two bruises as its almond shaped eyes, which are similar on some Japanese portraits of women with two dots on their foreheads. One of the three photographs taken on May 24, 2006 during the company meeting on the fourth floor of the parking garage showed these eyes.

    I’ve been running my hands over my forehead these past few weeks after experiencing severe head and ear pressures since August 1, 2006 from the psyops gang surveillance. My forehead used to feel quite smooth and round. Now I feel a very noticeable vertical ridge starting half way down the middle from the hairline. My raised bump is approximately 1.5 inches wide from left to right.

    P.S. If anyone has a copy of my poem entitled ‘20060606-Rhazzy Cat’, I would like to send one to this warrior. Blah!

  • 20060831-Which One?

    Oil doesn’t mix well with water and for good reason. If oil and water did mix, the water breathers would suffer and die. Oil spills do much damage to nature on the surface because the dark coating not only makes the tourist spots look bad but makes the habitants suffer and die. The clean up is expensive, by the way. The recover is slow too.

    The fumes of nasty stuff from both smoke stacks and automobiles pollute the air. This makes life difficult for the air breathers, especially those with asthma. Smog coating the blue skies with brownish muck doesn’t look good either. The products from petroleum in the form of plastic, solvents, fertilizers and pesticides do seem toxic if ingested.

    Radioactive material, moreover, is not a basic foodstuff value. I wonder why anyone would bother coming near the stuff and know the damage is possible or promote radiation as a fear factor. Isn’t already expensive enough trying to extract oil and manufacture material, which harm our environment and us? Come on! Duh!  Where else would we all go? Duh!

    Briefly, I would prefer water anytime. This is because we quench our thirst with water, bathe our stink away and provide a source of life to plants and animal. Once again (you freaking yet smart and wise numskulls) already know that there are alternative AND free sources of energy. I do not understand why we continue to avoid the laws of nature at all cost.  What exactly is the cost, huh?

  • 20060831-Popular Poop

    I am currently feeling very much pain in my neck, right elbow and more noticeably in my right wrist. This newest torment has been since 17:00 (Pacific Time) yesterday on Thursday, 08-30-2006. I do not understand why this has happened to me.

    I have ingested two pain-killers this morning and the effects have begun to wear off around mid-afternoon. But I continued to work diligently with the pain until 18:00 (Pacific Time) tonight to catch up on work that I missed from yesterday. I did most to the cash receipts entries and I expressed how the company is killing me to my associate who called me.

    I found out that my reporting ‘manager’ will be leaving next pay period. This is the third ‘manager’ that has bailed out on me and my department. I must stink to have scared them away. One of the three ‘managers’ remained for another department. I must leave this company because I feel all alone again here. I do not belong in this box either.

    Yesterday, the Finance department of my company attended a baseball game at Oakland, CA. One of the temps drove four of us and we ate at the restaurant using our 20.00US bogus bucks (each) to pay for the meal. My half eaten hamburger was wasted due to being full from eating the mounds of garlic fries. Yum!

    I thought I wanted to take the leftovers home because my mindset is not to waste whatever food we have been blessed. But since they do not have a nice plastic or paper bag to use, I was forced to leave the foodstuff behind. I feel bad but was happy after having drunk one ‘Bloody Mary’ with mild spice.

    I do not like the taste of this first kind of drink and instead could have had a V-8, which is tomato drink with lots of salty taste. The vodka in the drink did not do much to make me feel any better after having been put through the ringers one last time earlier that same morning. I was louder than normal maybe because the place was noisy and I wanted to be heard for once and from my soft voice. I later bought Fosters beer to drink while watching the baseball game.

    I spent twenty minutes on the surprise call on my cell phone to renew my contract and ended up agreeing to try out this free one for 30-days and for a guaranteed, full refund if not satisfied. I will give this new one to my parents for emergency purposes because my original but bulky cell phone has a nice camera that still works. I should buy a ceramic dot to place on their new cell phone to reduce the EMF.

    Ever notice how hot the cell phones get while using it near the ear holes? I do not use my cell phone much because of the emanating heat, expensive usage if I go over my minutes and, well, no one really knows me or care to call since I am a private person. Moreover, phones make me nervous and I avoid those whenever possible.

    We watched four and a half innings – two innings while eating lunch and two innings while baking under the sweltering heat of the sun. I did see two high trails but those disappeared easily. There were two light planes and one noisy helicopter. Dragonflies of about at least three were dancing in front my line of vision. With my mini-binoculars on hand, those handsome baseball players made my viewing more enjoyable.

    We didn’t stay for the rest of the innings and told the tall manager, who arranged the event, that we were going shopping. I bought two new pairs of denim jeans of darker color because I lost one pants size due having too much on my mind; one grand Tangerine juice drink; one Ethos bottled water; and lost my expensive shades. My head nodded to sleep in the car while going southbound 880 and couldn’t sleep well later on at night due to the pain.

    So at 19:21 (Pacific Time) tonight, I heard the wailing of the fire trucks sounding about two blocks away at the railroad intersection of my road. There was intermittent howling but now has stopped. It is now 19:25 (Pacific Time) and a bunch of low riding Asians marked my writer’s solitude with their racing down my road again.

    Earlier around 18:30 (Pacific Time) tonight and while driving my usual route home bound, my ‘watchers’ pulled from their parked position. This time a paddy wagon of black and white happened to be my local police department. I am amazed how easy they work together to follow me around in my gray Ford Mustang. (‘J@ck B!ll*’ of Florida didn’t know what a Stang was; so that means he is not Americanized).

    I do not mind being watched by the cutest guys as long as I am not harmed by them.  I do not understand, however, why some co-workers continue to touch me in their friendly manner, such as patting my back or placing their hand on my arm. I feel that they mean no harm but my person is off limits! Cooties to you all, I say! Yuck!

    My purpose is to share who I am with the rest of world based on my reality as a simple person and novice writer and while I am still alive to know what happiness and love are from all walks of life. I know my blogs have been profiled because I met some characters over the years. (I will blog more of my time line later on). But for now, I must tend to my mysterious pain of my right arm areas continue to bother me. Ooo! Ouch! Oow!

  • 20060517-Leasurely Limp

    On Wednesday, we had lots to do with Paw having his procedure done. The day started out with me being awaken at 06:30AM by Paw who was already dressed and ready to be driven to the hospital.

    Since my purpose in this lifetime has been the designated driver of the family, all three of us then went to pick up Brat at his house. We then proceeded to buy four sandwiches from the local store and two lottery tickets.

    The travel was fine and lasted only fifteen minutes as long as we stayed in the carpool lane on northbound Highway 101. We made the 08:00AM check in at the front registration and were given a map to navigate inside the building towards the Radiology department. The hospital is being renovated at the front and the walking time was longer as a result.

    The waiting room was not packed and was grateful the air was not stuffy to breathe. I took turns with Maw and Brat to get up and walk around to the bathroom or outside. There was little to do. Maw and I decided to have brunch of minestrone soup at the cafeteria around 10:00AM.

    We waited anxiously until 11:00AM when we gave our Paw quick good luck kisses and blessings. Mel, the eighty year old man, conversed with Maw and Brat about Naval life; making models and being normal. I meditated as usual with my eyes closed to relax myself and pray for the all to be well with everyone.

    Brat was hungry and wanted burgers. So we left the building around 11:30AM in search of food. I didn’t want to leave Maw alone in the waiting room but Brat was the most worried of us three. We decided to keep the parking space; leave the car and walk to the nearest burger restaurant.

    My purpose was to take a leisurely walk with Brat, enjoy the scenery; get the much needed exercise and work up an appetite before consuming my food. For whatever reason, my right knee started to hurt with a definite pinch somewhere on the outside joint.

    I requested Brat we turn back but he smiled at me; encouraged me forward and claimed that: ‘It is all in my mind’. I thought to myself that I could overcome this pain and limped onward but slowly with small steps, each one being gingerly taken.
    The tall trees providing the cool comfort of shade from the bright noontime sun, which was beating down on us through amazingly clear blue skies. The cool breeze also made the walk pleasant as I cooled down from overheating with this form of exercise – walking.

    I have noticed lady bugs and pill bugs crossing our paths. I was careful not to step on anything moving and small beneath my feet. Each step was a blessing; each step increased the pain. I continued onward for thirty minutes until we reached the corner.

    We then bought our meals; sat down in the stuffy restaurant and discussed him wanting to have a non-denominational marriage in Hawaii with only immediate family members. This sounded like a good plan and I am sure Twit would accept Brat’s proposal, if he only knew her ring size and when the good time would be to pop the question.

    Brat and I exited the restaurant and, for whatever reason, he punched a wall (probably out of frustration) and had caused an open wound injury to his right middle knuckle. So we went to two stores; found his bandages and antibiotic; and greeted Talofa, or ‘Hello’ in Samoa, to the salesclerk named Tua.

    Another thirty minutes was somewhat slower and I continued to limp behind the smiling Brat. He kept looking back at his fatter and older sister. And I tried to smile back at him in vain and complained once in a while. I noticed two ‘watchers’ along the way.

    At 01:00PM, we arrived to find Maw no longer in the waiting room. We inquired and then navigated back to the main lobby to take the elevator to the fifth floor. I was weight down with sandwiches and drinks for Maw because I knew she needed something to eat.

    Paw was on his back and apparently finished eating his meal with Maw attending nearby. I helped Paw drink almost every drop of the bottled water with much effort because the straw was bent out of shape. And I cleaned him up as bit before he drifted off to sleep from the sedatives.

    Brat was looking tired and we were all relieved that Paw was doing fine. All three of us debated that we kids should take off for another two hours before Paw could be discharged. This was enough time for his wound to heal a bit from the surgery. So we both left at around 01:30PM.

    I dropped off Brat and I did many things at home like cleaning up the house and taking a much needed shower to remove the stink of my walk. The pain in my knee was mysterious and all I could do was take over the counter medication to relieve the symptoms. Brat suggested this pain could be gout, arthritis or lack of exercise.

    At 03:15PM and after receiving two of Maws calls a few minutes earlier, we both headed back to the hospital to pick up Paw. After driving 70mph, we arrived at 03:40PM to find both parents waiting at the very front of the hospital bench and sitting together like peas in a pod.

    I limped back to the car and drove up to pick all three up at the loading zone. We went to the other doctor to pick up the prescription for Paw and then drove home on the carpool lane. The travel time took thirty minutes this time because of the rush hour.

    As a good daughter, I did as much as I could without complaining much. As a good sister, I seem to sustain some injury while enjoying times with Brat. As a tired person, I had gone to bed early at 09:00PM and did not enter my blog for the day.

    The day was worrisome but the results turned out good for all of us. Paw got another chance in life; while Maw and Brat were relieved. As for me, my lesson for the day was to improve my outlook in life by taking more leisurely walks to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
