wanna know?
It's kinda funny, except it's long.
I have this suspicion about SF
yes, it's totally black cat and walking under a ladder sort of blubbery.
I have a fear that SF will not let me leave.
case point
last year
I tried to move away from sf three times
hoping to get just enough money to rent a Uhaul and drive away
1st time. My car got towed 1 week before I was supposed to move, a $300 fine, thus draining the tiny budget.
2nd time. I got pulled over. I'd just gone to acupuncture so I was all sensitive and shouldn't have been driving, but the cop pulled me over because my license plates were one day expired, he took my truck. $450 plus registration.
there was another time, I can't tell you the full story, only that there was a circus, and it came to town...
So yesterday I am at JFK, with Lavern and the United desk-helpful man tells me that since I didn't fly TOO NY my ticket was cancelled, that "I should have known better". I put Lavern on the plane, I swallow a $300 ticket and run to jetBlue to buy another ticket, $250, can you see where this is going? I touch down in Oakland, not sure whether to kiss the ground or quietly tip toe away. I take a Shuttle, which is as expensive as a taxi from JFK to Manhattan. But I don't care. The driver informs the passengers, that there is a sinkhole on the highway and we'd need to take an alternative route, but my driver, as cranky as he is, is one of the x-men, I think he is supercabbie because we shoot past that sinkhole onto the bay bridge in no time. I get back to the house. there is no IRS check, apparently "it's in the mail" and my NY state refund is all messed up, so I have to go to the CPA today. Oh and I am still not feeling well so really all I want is, a ball of opium and some really cheesy ocean/whale music or something. I take a shower instead. But first I call Ny. Ny has had some troubles the past few years. I think I've helped Ny out, but in the last 10 hours, since I'd left, Ny totally regressed ranting away, I couldn't stop it and it started freaking me out. This throws me into a panic. But the shower helped, it cleared my head and I helped make dinner, which was really good, the food here is just good. Then I went to bed. So today I worked out the IRS stuff, so maybe I won't have to sell my bed or my soul, to the State of California, but I am still tiptoeing around.
the sun came out
I ate a lot more awesome California food.
Breakfast (which I made)
Fresh roasted green chilies with eggs and cheese
served over brown rice, it can't be helped I think they only sell brown rice out here
and then I juiced carrot, beets, parsley, ginger, beet tops and an apple.
dude.
