The whole day was cold but not quite freezing because ice did not form on the rooftops or on my car! I wore my LONG wool jacket, which falls below the knees. It kept my lower extremities warm while I managed to walk only 15 minutes during this morning’s mid-morning break. Just as I was stepping out around 1:00pm today, the smell of rain was in the air! And small raindrops started falling! I rushed to my car and retrieved by LONG wooden umbrella in case the storm would brew. And at around 15:00pm, the storm brewed! The sounds of “cats and dogs” falling could be heard on the rooftop overhead while I slaved away at completing the Q1 backlog, whatever that meant. So thanks to the wool jacket, scarf-hat and gloves, I kept warm en route to my car after work and while my imagination giggled at the flirtatious smirk of the that cute Chicano kid. Damn gorgeous, thug!

Ice formed on the rooftops this morning. That meant the air was freezing! With my scarf-hat and gloves, I kept warm throughout this morning’s mass. Carlos had his usual scowling face as he lighted the two candles of the alter.
Then the mid-morning weather was beautiful! Two large sylphs were over the north eBay campus. Then during my lunch-walk speckles of baby sylphs were somewhere in the distance. The mid-afternoon walk had lots of as high altitude clouds covered the sun.
I was freezing in the that damn “temp job from hell”. The white van for the heating and air conditioning was parked. So I assume they should have fixed their damn heater so we won’t freeze to death! I had been wearing my black leather jacket — a Georgetown brand.
I caught Paw still working outdoors at the patio in the cold and at night! Maw hollered at him to get down from the ladder and get inside because the “night” spirits usually want to have some rest (or so is the saying from the old town). I had to turn off the light from the upstairs switch. He was screwing back the wire mesh, protecting the gutter, which he clear out.

This morning was cloudy. The whole day was freezing. Wait! Sylphs appeared in the crispy, clear blue skies! And then the mid-afternoon skies were clear — so clear that the sunshine actually warmed the upstairs. Maw had plucked around 30 gray hairs from my head. They were wispy and thin. The ones that I had hoped Maw would pluck are the thick ones! Now those are itchy! And I plucked 8 gray hairs from her left eye. No wonder she has been rubbing her left eye! It’s because gray hairs make the affected area itchy!

The whole day was cloudy. And I slept for four hours and awoke 2:35pm. After I awoke, I smelled food lingering upstairs and went downstairs to check out what’s going on. Maw had cooked a big tray of pancit for tonight’s religious event – Santo Nino. Lots of creepy statue were placed for blessing by the priest. And people enjoyed eating the food. The pancit was all gone. The three of us helped put away the metal chairs, remove the white lines for washing, and fold up some tables. It’s all volunteer work and done in my high heels, too!
Anyway, Bully-Boy looked tense. His eyes are wild, apprehensive and wide opened. He held his feathers tight against his body. I don’t know what’s up with that parakeet. Maybe he remembers Pimon, Bugsy and Simon. They are all gone now.

This morning was freezing cold. I stayed over during mass to “venerate” the Holy Sacrament (or Ben’s $4,000.00 REAL golden monstrance of a monster). I couldn’t walk around during this morning’s break for more than five minutes without feeling chilled to the bones.
During lunchtime, the skies still showed gray clouds. I decided to go home for lunch, thinking the overweight Chris and her sister Niki would show up as per her Facebook messages. When I read the word “probably” in her second response, I knew she was one of those who’d speak but won’t act. Maw knew they won’t be coming over even though she bought pizza from Lil Ceasar and bake lasagna for her nieces.
At around 3:00pm, the sunshine decided to come out. The skies are crispy, clear and blue with some brown muck in the distant horizon. Very few, high altitude sylphs came out in fine wispiness. The walk was better.

Today is beautiful. The sun is shing, the skies are clear and blue with sylphs since this monring, the small birds of brown and black crows fly and caw, the brown leaves are crispy and my dandelion roars and its white-flowered ground covers have shown themselves!
My walk was slow for 30 minutes because my left hip and left legs are feeling sore. I tried squeezing my toes prior to walking and that helped.

Yesterday was mostly rainy. Today is better! There are fluffy, puffy clouds of white now! And the sunshine is still hiding behind come clouds! I would take this as a sign that he got my email at around 11:52am. It’s for his birthday. So far I’ve not received an email confirmation as normal business practice for this second transaction either. Usually he is good about responding but because of his computer problem, that’s not my problem.
I just finished removing the Christmas tree decorations and packing those nicely into their respective metal container, which once held cookies and other goodies from the holidays. That’s a good incentive to save these containers. You’ll never know that these could be used as decoration holders! Paw removed the outdoor lighting underneath the gutter and around the front. This year we didn’t put up the other outdoor decorations out front – angels, reindeers, snowpeople, etc. Maw had finished frying up more freshly chopped garlic in lots of vegetable oil, which we use to brush onto breads. We will oven dry those into hard “cookie” snacks of either biscotti or garlic bread.
Anyway, tomorrow will be another working day. Hopefully, I will get back into shape and start walking around during my breaks. It was a pleasant seven business day without work and that means I lost, say, around $700.00 of no pay from my “temp job from hell”. I expect the backlog to give me overtime, which I didn’t pursue during last week except JenJen who was asked by the boss to come in. Hehehe!
Funny world, but I really need to keep my wits about me. There is something that I need to do. Maybe I’ll send a quick greeting to the ingrates via Facebook because they were in my dreams.

Today was freezing cold. The skies were mostly gray clouds. The rained may have fallen during my mid-afternoon nap until 4:00pm. Then we attended evening mass at 5:00pm without the twosome, who are Buddhist. That made Maw sad. It’s too bad they are ON THEIR OWN. The evening skies cleared a bit, showing some white fluffy clouds. The night air was not cold as we ate cake for the 50th Jubilee celebration in the hall. There were news articles of the church’s development since the 1950s. We saw old priests and old buildings in the photos, too. If it were not for Emmer and that grouch, control-freak Myrna, we would not have attended the mini-function for a few minutes. There was a blessing of the ladder for the Vietnamese community at the front of the parish. What use to be mostly white, then Latino, has become mostly Asian with a white, military priest.

Around mid-day, the skies started forming its white wash. There were no visible chemtrails against some patchy blue skies, all but one long trail of puff clouds, located almost directly our home.
At that time, I was using the electric blower to clean up the yard of leaves, branches, twigs, debris and dust left over after a few days of wild wind. There seemed nothing out of the ordinary except that the air was VERY still until the boy left at around 4:20pm. I do not recall if the winds existed into the evening.
But the air was freezing to the bones — the same sensation one would feel when paranormal activities of ghostly presence was nearby. However, the evening skies revealed some low, horizontal clouds and stars, too.
I don’t get it: Two days of beautiful sunny weather and then gray stillness until this evening of patchy low clouds.

This morning was temporarily patchy blue skies with some fluffy, puffy clouds of white while I did some yard work: I used the electric blower to clean up the freshly blown eucalyptus leaves of two days now, twigs, branches and other leafy debris off the backyard and front yard, whereupon I saw our VERY first graffiti on the sidewalk near the side gate to MY long stretch of road since the building of this neighborhood over thirty years. It could be magic symbols or something! I may wish to call the city to have them remove this photographic treasure.

The weather for today and yesterday was wonderful – lots fresh air and cold winds. The sunshine shone brightly. The skies were crispy and blue. Monday’s surprise was the fallen leaves all over the place! The back parking lot was especially littered with colors of brown, gold and orange. A long length of several sylphs appeared near the SJC today, too.
Yesterday’s lunch walk was fun as I constantly adjusted my matching scarf to my hat from my childhood; tugged at my underwear which kept riding up my pants and knew Mike was following right behind because of his peculiar “high-pitched” voice while talking over the cellphone. He hasn’t been greeting moi all that much. It must have been my effective efforts to severe the reptoid’s imaginary tentacles.
Like yesterday, I skipped, hopped and kicked some nice leaves in delight as I imagined walking through deeper piles of leaves in the forest. That was actually my first time to enjoy the outdoors and its first yield of dried leaves since my childhood. Today was a little warmer because the winds didn’t blow that much and I’ve recovered a little after a week of feeling sick.
After my walk yesterday and en route back to work, a white utility van was parked at the opposite end of the cul-de-sac to the back parking lot. Upon my arrival, a brunette-haired lady stepped out of her driver’s side while talking on the phone. I had to cross 50 yards earlier to avoid a confrontation of any sorts and ended up “making a left turn”.
I swear! There is not one day when my happiness is met with spooks!

Today is friggin’ hot. I’m friggin’ hot. It’s because I’m wearing a double-knit top with a round neck. Plus, I normally don’t wear bras so that means I have to “cover-up” my breast areas with ANOTHER material – a fleece vest! Now that’s hot! It was from walking VERY fast this time and without the normal pain from my feet and joints, except an old injury from a bite located behind my right calf near the outer bone of my knee joint area.
Theresa and I walked early today for lunch from 12:00pm to 12:30pm around the eBay area in a clockwise direction because it’s more shady with tall trees and the sunlight is towards our backs. Whatever, the sunlight warmed the grounds and air enough that my umbrella was useless to prevent me from sweating! Sure, I burned a bit but not by much from direct sunlight. The ultra-violet rays still gets to my skin, causing that uneven, farmer’s tan my from wearing the short-sleeved shirt.
So here I am sitting at work, blogging this entry and cooling slowly from the air-conditioner after eating fast within five minutes and after removing my undershirt, wiping down my sweath and washing down with cool water from the friggin’ automatic faucet that squirts miniture sprays of water fast and quick – not long enough to fill up the cups of my hands!
