Golden Shores, Long Beach, LA, Day 8

It’s 3 pm and I’ve had quite a full day. I was up at 7 and in a meeting at 8 am.  Cyberdocs.  Good fun celebrating Terry and Jake. I shared with Tommie my sense of isolation. She’d shared a passage about the feeling of loneliness.  I do feel terminally unique at times and on the top of perfectionism and control . I shared that as Jesus walked on water  I felt I should l be able to levitate but having little faith tried to do this on land. I was informed God made planes for that purpose so I should focus on being a good person.  I’m thankful I can share these thoughts here. 

After I did some working phoning people , talking to them, renewing prescriptions. I also paid my College dues and doctors dues and let a note with CMPA.  I  was exhausted by process but felt good to be 

conscientious. I let Madigan have a sniff treat walking around the off leash dog area.

After I walked Madigan.  Then I met Peter taking Bella and Luka for the longer street house walk  It was a lovely walk by the marina with folks lying on the lawn. Generally a positive vibe   I really enjoyed walking with Peter and the dogs. 

It’s a lovely sunny day Laura said she looked at the weather for here and it was sunny all week. In the morning there’s a chill but at noon it’s been actually hot. I sat outside and read on my new rocking chair.

Then I was out on the Vespa with an empty propane tank. I had it filled at Pacific and Amalita.  On way b ack I picked up clean and folded laundry.  I was looking a bit Cambodian only ride back on he scooter,, 

We finished off Costco chicken when I got home. I topped this off with a slice of the best of the best Anna Bustard’s pumpkin loaf. Just like the scarf she knit me one year felt like Mom , her fancy bread tastes like Mom.  Good feeling and thoughts of the season.  Earl Grey tea with honey finished off a fine home body meal.  

I  strapped the empty propane tank on the back seat of the Vespa and set out to get get that filled and bring back my laundry from Supersuds. It was a nice little trip with all the focus on bungee cord binding.

Back home I had a nap. I just took Madigan for a walk around the park so I could go to the hot tub. If I have any energy left over I’d like to make it to the Latin American Museum of Art this evening for a walk through.  He’s had attention and time off so an hour or so evening out would be too disturbing for the little guy.

It’s been a fine day.  Really a very fine day. I’m immensely thankful for this day.  

Thank you God.
