So Far, So Good

EXPENSE $113.31

8am Woke up feeling good

Then drifted over to the computer, checking the blog...a strange little pride, there.

The worms playing classical music are quite cute.

Writing this now, remembering... What pops into my head is meditating on the foyer window sofa, and Seeing the Other, who was Me. "I See You" we both said, and were, shining bright.

Walking to:

  • MEAL S&W Country Diner $21 (on $17+ bill)
    • Vegetarian Eggs Benedict (spinach and jack cheese)
    • Over a pancake southwest style with ortega chiles and...something else...? (Sadly, the Doordash menu is incomplete and doesn't mention the pancake options)
    • Plus sliced red tomatoes
    • And a cup of decaf coffee (After the first and 1.5 refills, I was super-wired!)

Read four weeks of Sunday comics, that I had separated from all the many months of unread papers having accumulated in the foyer.

Overheard Adam behind me, a gentleman providing advice to his client...he is self-described as a spiritual business counselor. So wonderful!

It reminded me of my guru, and how my guru says everyone he meets is so complicated! I get it now! ~~And hope I can stay on the simple path.~~ I am: the simple path.

~~And~~ (What's with all the "and"s? ;-) I gave the leftovers to a gentleman on the street in a wheelchair. He had some challenges speaking, and I wondered if I should attend to him. He said he had a fork when I pointed out that the leftovers did not come with one.

  • SHOP Trader Joe's 36 $64.07
    • Plantain Chips
    • Jerk-style Plantain Chips Since I cannot remember having had them before
    • Bronner's Soap (for laundry and dishes and cleaning...)
    • Organic Bran Flakes
    • Organic 2% Milk (a little fat for the brain)
    • Organic Basil
    • Organic Spring Mix
    • Organic Herb Mix
    • 2 Organic Bananas
    • Bag of Tangerines (reminded me of Cuties)
    • Organic Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon
    • Fresh Wild Salmon
    • Goat's Milk Gruyere
    • Flowers for the Gods!

People were so beautiful! I talked to my cashier (Megan?), and we quickly came to God. My heart is warmed in remembrance.

  • SHOP CVS 8879 $28.24 CVS originally stood for Consumer Value Store

    • 3 Scouring Pads
    • 2 rolls of toilet paper (for the guest bathroom)
    • Wet wipes (also for guests)
    • Epsom Salts (for the bath and the sore body)
    • Jug of vinegar (for rinsing laundry)
    • Nestle Chocolate Chip Morsels Called to buy, I suspect because of Halloween. Can I make my own morsels from dried fruit and cocoa powder? How to get the powder to stick to the fruit in the cookie dough?

~~And then~~ I walked home to Cardiff, stopping frequently as the two bags I had brought were quite heavy (from milk, wine, vinegar and epsom salts)

~~Then~~ I sat and read some more Sunday comics (5+) and I realized I was kind of forcing them into my eyeballs, wanting to "just finish them."

This seems to be the birth of "drive". "Just do it". "Get it done!" "Finish it!" Even when the rest of your being is like, "No, thank you, we're good", another part is just...pushing. Like Adam, perhaps? ;-)

Reminds me that people think they need pushing, just the right kind of pushing, yet the flow of being, the delicate tastes I have had so far, are the sweetest of nectars.

Love to You All, little web fishies who might swim through my words!
