I wish my car looked like this car. I have a brown Honda element but it is not nearly as interesting as this car in this picture.
I am planning to watch the debates this week even though I already know who I am going to vote for. It feels like a performance, entertainment, a verbal boxing match. I wish that it was more authentic. why can't the candidates just talk honestly and let the voters decide. There seems to be such a desperateness to win at all costs. It can't really be such a great job.

Went to the rock climbing gym in Sand City for the 11 year old girl's birthday party. I was so moved by the daring and skill of the girls climbing those walls with their parents holding the ropes. they offered to let me help but I declined. I just wanted to watch them. The eleven year old is now as tall as her mother.

Ate lunch with two friends at a crowded noisy restaurant today. A woman at another table several time nodded at me. Did I know her? Who was she.
I became distracted from the conversation I was having at my table. She finally left and I still don't know who she is.
I think I will avoid noisy restaurants in the future.

Season seemed to change today.
Took several long naps today, unusually tired. Hope I will be able to sleep tonight.
Went to my son's house for an eleven year old birthday party. the electricity was out so we ate by candle light. Food cooked on barbeque. Even heated the berry birthday pie on the grill. All was good.

Cold foggy morning. turned on the heater to take off the chill. I am working on my notes on the Homeless Women's Documentary Project. The exhibit will open on November 9 at the Cherry Center. We have been working on it for the last year and now we have to give up our expanded dreams and do what we can actually do. Kind of sad to give up some of my dreams.

It is now definitely dark at 6:30 am when I leave the house for my drive to the Cherry Center for zazen. I turned on the heater this morning to shake off the chill. Yep it is fall.
the writing circle started back up after the summer holidays. Glad to be back to work and to listen to each writer's work.

The Paris bakery was crowded today.
Tasha and I sat at a small table way on the side near the bathroom door, the last table anyone wants. But it worked for us. Usually Tasha is chatting with all the people she knows but today she was out of the mainstream and no one saw her.
We ended up having a good conversation without any interruptions.

I spent time cutting onions, garlic and tomatoes and simmered them on the stove for marinara sauce. Lots of effort and then I was disappointed in the result. the taste was great but it didn't look good. Maybe I should have peeled the tomatoes. Or what. I have lost my touch with cooking. Its back to the cook book for me.

I haave two big jars of coins on my desk colected over the years or maybe decades. I have been trying to use them up. I know what coffee costs at Il forneo. $2.03. So I bring 8 quarters and three pennies. but at Paris bakery I get the same thing every week but the price keeps shifting around between $1.97 and $2.33 depending on who is the counter person. So I just bring a handful of change and use it for the tip's jar. Slowing I am beginning to make a dent in this glut of coins.

took a long nap this afternoon on my couch. this couch is old and at first is comfortable but after awhile it becomes very uncomfortable . I was stiff and sore when I woke up. I wonder if I will be able to go to sleep tonight. this is day 5 of my 40 day intensive focus on exercise. Maybe that is why I was so tired.

busy day. took my evening short walk down the street and ran into three deer, a mom and tow young ones eating through my neighbor's front yard. They looked at me and kept eating. They are beautiful animals and free range in our town. Everyone is building high fences to protect their plants in the back yards. but the front yards are fair game for these animals.

Went to Target this morning to buy sheets. The customers on a Tuesday morning were mothers with small kids. We were all walking up and down the aisles looking for something. My basket filled up, things I didn't know I needed. Luckily the baskets weren't bigger or I would have had to put more in my car.

I have started taking short walks at night to see if it helps me sleep easier. tonight was the second night of a planned 40 days of experimenting with this. I will see if I can stick with this. Also I plan to go ot the sports center everyday for 40 days to see if I can improve my walking. Keeping my fingers crossed.

the weather changed. We may have rain and lightening tonight. Fall is here. I picked a bunch of tomatoes from the garden. I was going to give them to friends and then didn't. I think I will eat them all myself. I can't bear to eat another squash, I am letting them slowly rot in the garden. Somehow that feels evil.
