18/2/26 16:00Decided to stay home today because yesterday wore me out so damn much. Also too much damn rain.

17/2/26 16:52I am so tired. I had to go to the drugstore and physical therapy and the grocery store in the damn rain. Because I was in so much pain I was kind of snappy with this nice girl coming into my apt bldg and now I feel kind of guilty about it. I wish I had a car.

16/2/26 12:36Last night a couple of my friends came over and brought me an awesome late birthday present. I now have a giant cardboard stand up Hugh Laurie in my living room, then we went out to this cool art nouveau wine bar in my neighborhood and I bought them a bottle of Rioja that we split.

15/2/26 11:00I have to be honest here. The main reason I wanted to go to the deYoung so much yesterday was because I love art and I wanted to cheer myself up for reasons other than hurting my shoulder in that accident. Valentine's day gets on my nerves because I've had no boyfriend for DECADES. I pretend not to let it bother me but it stinks. I want anybody reading this to know I don't hate men. I like men. I have lots of men friends. Also, I'm a feminist but I'm not whatever the female equivalent of an incel is. I do NOT think men owe me sex. NOBODY OWES ANYBODY SEX. That being said, men are not sexually or romantically attracted to me at all. There are two reasons for this and I can't change either one of them:
1. I look really bad. It is not all in my head. People who don't even know me say horrible things to me. If you look at my old passport I have a really sour expression because the photographer said something very insulting to me right before he took the picture. Also, I've seen people who look even worse than I do who are absolutely convinced they're gorgeous and I can tell you right now gaslighting yourself like that doesn't fool anyone but yourself. It just makes you seem like an egotistical idiot.
2. I'm nuts. Not in a dangerous way, I'm just on the stupid fucking autism spectrum, I wouldn't hurt anybody but I can't hold down any sort of a job and men are not attracted to women who are crazier than they are (unless they look like a model or something, and even then they often don't stick around for very long)

14/2/26 18:34I fell down and hurt my shoulder this morning but I went to the deYoung anyway, saw some very cool art including some giant oil paintings, Native Amercian art and historical photos of the Bay area. Also got some goodies to eat including an Italian sausage and meatball hero and some muffins and brownies and lollipops.
Public transit still sucks though.

12/2/26 12:55It started raining really hard early yesterday afternoon so I decided to postpone the book shopping till another day.
Had a really nice breakfast out with my sister and my niece.
Dear PG&E,
You sent me a letter saying you were going to lower your rates. Then you raised them.
Twice.
You suck.
no love,
me

10/2/26 11:19I was having my ginger tea this morning when I got a lot of news. One friend of mine is in the hospital with issues w/ her diabetes, plus L. is on a plane to Pennsylvania to visit her fiancee.

9/2/26 15:01Had some cinnamon tea, did a whole bunch of laundry, took out the garbage and did some other cleaning up. I'm really worn out.

7/2/26 17:51Got my cell phone fixed and it didn't cost me a penny. Had a great conversation with a friend, had a few drinks at this cool wine bar in my neighborhood, I'm happy.

6/2/26 15:22Well, I was GOING to go to the deYoung tomorrow but my cell phone just busted so I gotta go get it fixed and I can't right now because I just got back from hauling my crippled ass and a lot of groceries on a damn bus and I'm too tired to move. It was working fine a few hours ago, I didn't drop it or spill water on it or anything. I hope nobody is going crazy trying to get ahold of me. I also hope this is not going to cost me a lot of money.

5/2/26 11:42I went to my favorite cafe today to get a scone but the first woman who waited on me walked away and refused to finish because I changed my mind about what I wanted. What's her problem?

3/2/26 11:15Shame on you Pepperidge Farm. You shrunk your cookies. Milanos are about half the size they used to be.

2/2/26 12:00Apart from the bldg manager being her usual rude bitchy self when I was paying my rent earlier this morning, I'm in a pretty good mood today. I had so much fun with my friends at the Chinese restaurant last night, we had Peking duck, General Tso's chicken, ginger beef fried rice and a couple of dim sums. I hadn't had Peking duck in decades but it was my birthday.

1/2/26 13:24It's my birthday and some friends are taking me out for Chinese food for dinner! Yayy!

31/1/26 16:49I went to the dentist yesterday and it was awful, the hygienist I usually get was on vacation and she's super nice and gentle and I got this BITCH who hurt me and got all pissed at me for making a fairly quiet yelp noise in pain which she insisted on referring to as "screaming". My dentist herself is also very gentle. I tried to alleviate the tension by making a joke about the radio station and the bitch just says "uh". I'm never going to her again.
Had a much better day earlier today, I had some very nice phone conversations with L. and my dad and then went to my favorite cafe for a cup of tea and a cookie and I'm going to fix lamb chops and potatoes au gratin for dinner tonight.
