Journal beginning: October 1, 2021

 It's October 29 and I felt motivated to wrote about what's been happening. My family motto is, 'Something always happens." We got that from when my mother left my father and he claimed he was so surprised and heartbroken that he and I spent 3 weeks in Aspen recovering. He met a lady, sort of looked like my mom, she was part Native American and very beautiful she told my father that motto and it worked like a charm, no just kidding he went further and further over to the dark end and it ended with him in a dementia facility in a private assisted living (different in some areas than a public one) living a well taken care of life. He aged into a perfect European Gentleman, the aids loved him and cried when he passed away. Im still on Twitter monitoring Jewhate accounts. I just reported one and put on my list another.

The past year and a half to stay partially sane I adopted journaling as a strategy.  Now that I have finished two small spiral notebooks and don't know what to do with them but throw them out I will continue in a blog journal. The three topics to cover for the entry are: 1. What did I eat? 2. What did do? 3. How do I feel? Eating: B. honey bunches cereal & milk, L. miso mushroom soup with leftover pasta & peas, D. Ramen Noodles out to eat. (during the lockdown going out to eat was a treat and missed) You never know how important mouth watering asian food is until you don't have it for months) Doing: Writing and creating an online budget to include my house in Florida ... costs associated with both places. We have done the wiggly on on paper now I want to create a formal budget. I would love to de YOQi because my back is feeling sore. ...
