I am alone with Hanako and my cats.  It is a  quiet day.  It is raining so no need to work in the garden.  So far, a very lazy day.  I don't do this often beacause there is always so much to do.

I think it is time to reorder my life, again.  I live an extremely simple life primarily driven by food.  Buying food, storing food, planning meals, preparing meals, eating eating eating, cleanup. cleanup, cleanup. 

Then there are Hanako, Cheeto, Honey, Billy and Penny.  Ordering food, storing food, planning meals, preparing food, cleanup cleanup.  Plus providing all the fresh water.

I want to take what is left of my day and put it to better use.  I spend a lot of time on facebook, twitter, Arlo cameras, weather, texting, and messaging.  I spend a lot of time talking to friends on the phone.  I watch a lot of news on TV

I would like to spend less time on all of this.

I want to spend more time reading books, watching TV entertainment shows, painting and gardening.

This is going to take some effort to make these changes but I know I can do it.

  January 23, 2024 How can that be?  4:55 p.m. I just spent a lot of time trying to login to this.  Every time there is an update on any software I it is trouble for me.   I have a house across the street from me.  It sold in December and the people moved out.  It has been sitting empty.  The fence to the backyard has been up and down.  I suspect someone is living in there.  My cameras can't pick up anything because of the lighting.   Today about 8 small Asian people, speaking a language I did not recognize, came in three vehicles.  They have been milling around in the street, on the sidewalk and lawn.  I walked Hanako and came in the house.  Hanako is on a leash watching everything.  She just barked aggressively.  I always check when she barks.  I can see one police car and about three more cars in front of the house.  I face the side of the house and noone is on the side of th...

  January 19, 2024 1:00 p.m. Today is my parents anniversary.  I remembering asking about it. It sounded appropriate for the times. No pictures. I have a 3:15 appointment with my primary care doctor.  I had a blood test and my calcium was off the chart.  A real spike.  I had another blood test and my TH was off the chart.  That is a Thyroid measurement.  I am (deep sigh) sad about this.  It might be another big challenge. I have started to feel good about this house and am accepting living in Modesto as a necessity.  I would certainly like to have some peace. I would like to have an uneventful life for a while.  Apparently that is not to be.  I will face this like I have faced all those other times in my life. I ate some food brought to me by someone else.  Not good.  A very disturbed stomach. I know better.

 January 18 2024 I was going to enter something interesting and fulfilling but since I am suffering the ravages of old age my mind is my health, again, still, forever apparently.  New test result this morning. Thyroid test TH way off the charts. More medical procedures.  Maybe this is the big one.  Maybe more cancer.  Maybe this time it will take me out.  I am almost ready to go.  I have many things completed but still more to do.  My trust is signed.  I am trying to make it as easy as possible for Rylan.  And for me too I guess. It is a typical winter day in Modesto.  It is cold damp overcast and dreary.  Just what the almonds need.  We will have plenty of sunshine soon enough. I will be taking both cars in the "smog" them this afternoon. It is a full time job taking care of me and mine.
