That's in the category of some sort of meteorological phenomenon surely.

Top of the hill:

Hail pelts the car, you can barely see where you're going, and you're praying to get home safely while you're driving.

Four miles later, at bottom of the hill:

Sunny, calm, dry, and no rain, fog or hail.

This is living at the base of a mountain.

We didn't even get rain here, but it's a very different story just a 10 minute drive away...

Well, it's been been pointed out to me that men do get mental disorders named specially for them when they get abused by the game of football.

Oh good, this came to me, too.

What if it's true that certain things triggered you in order to activate a life purpose? But now you would like to continue pursuing the life purpose in perhaps a more refined and less destructive way, and not continue to be triggered. Even though, you could be grateful that the triggers activated you in the past, but now in the future you want to no longer be so triggered, but you still want to continue fulfilling some of your end of bargain or whatever when it comes to your life purpose that was activated by the triggered states.

Just kidding. Another rambling thought is on its way.

What if it's true that there is such a thing as twin souls? And what if it's true? That if there's such a thing that they will simultaneously trigger the best and worst in each with one exception? And that is, what if they have a particular mission to carry out in one lifetime and then if they have a particular mission, maybe in that lifetime things are different, because of that particular mission. But then maybe in future lifetimes the mission is different, and so then they're back to triggering both the best and worst,and so that's why with twin souls if you still have stuff to figure out sometimes they're the ones that bring it up in you. But at the same time they could bring out the best too. That was fun.

I had to wake up and think a thought, and now I'm hopefully going back to sleep.

Is it health or is it frivolity?

At the Renaissance Faire, a woman I didn't know rushed up to me, and she was a bigger size and about my height too. She pointed at our shadows and said look how good we look! Our shadows looked long and thin and tall. And I said, "Yeah, we look tall!" And she said, "Tall is the best!"

Imagine if they were always pressuring the tall people to get shorter to be more acceptable to society. Imagine if they were always pressuring the men to see the point of view of the women instead of vice versa.

Swimming all summer and doing strength training seemingly didn't make that much difference. My muscles would ache and I knew I was getting stronger. But I weigh as much as I've ever weighed. I guess at least the bigger size clothes I bought have been a good investment.

I think the last time I was lost weight was a few years ago when I was juicing celery and drinking that juice everyday and I had cut out a lot of sugar and fat. I would eat a lot of vegetables and hummus. But I wasn't really exercising that much, actually.

Since I had a weird dream about a thin hippie type person pointing to one TV dinner meal and then to sone big boxes of salad, I literally wondered if I would have to eat one meal a day and a lot of greens to lose weight.

What if I drank green juice and ate vegetables? Maybe I could modify it by adding some hummus. Maybe I'll get really into celery juice again. It is true that when you eat very healthy on a regular basis, sometimes you stop craving certain kinds of food so much. Maybe I need to start to appreciate to the vegetables more. Carrots start to seem a bit sweet to you when you cut out the processed foods and the added sugar.

Normal? Normal for who?

You can't make people care about certain things when they don't want to. They just don't want to. They just really, really, really don't want to.

Sometimes, I really start to get the feeling that I've never before seen this level of how stubborn certain averagely advantaged people can act. They are just so stubborn about getting their way and not seeing what's going on with others when it comes to feeling entitled to not care about what's happening. I don't know what to do. I can't think about it too much, or I will lose my mind again. I already started chewing more today than I had been recently.

And it seems like they're just doing it to keep things going the way they always have been going, to pretend that some things aren't happening, and they need to do it in the name of "normalcy," and "what's comfortable enough for them to know," which falls within some pretty strict perimeters.

Perhaps that's the disadvantage of being supposedly "more advantaged" than some others. You don't really know how to help others. You don't know how to listen to others. You don't know how to consider others. You're too advantaged to know how to do those things? Really? Or maybe you're just choosing to go along with a certain mindset to fit in with a certain group of people who are still following some old societal norms that haven't fallen away for them yet, but those norms are definitely falling away for other people in other places.

Look at me, said the Moon.

And we have other blessings.

And we have frivolity.

Reflecting on the wistful love songs from our youth.

I mean, I think I was raised on some fairly wistful music, when it comes to love and such things. It makes you wonder if every man at some point imagines himself as a character in a wistful love song. It may be so. But how can one be so wistful all the time? That's a tough gig. What if the wistful woman era is coming to an end?

Resting and digesting.

Gee, maybe if some people were better at thinking longer and harder at some about some things, fewer young "Greek Life" men would feel so entitled about violating people at parties. And by the way, you're always saying well, why did the woman go out drinking. Well, why were the men drinking, huh? They're the ones who are committing the rapes usually. Why don't you tell the men to stop drinking? Let the women drink and tell the men to stop drinking for a change.

Did you ever hear that children come first in a matriarchal society?

We are not living in a matriarchal society.

We are living in a "Rich people's kids rule. Other people's kids get locked away in detention centers" society.

That's what patriarchal society does to people. It tries to do its best to make it seem like that's a normal way of living to people. It's not a normal way of living. It's messed up.

I read about this businesswoman who's also a mom doing this fashion collaboration and I was like okay. Well, fashion can be fun. She could be a very nice person. Maybe she's a great mom to her own kids.

Also the idea of living that way in a time of ICE needlessly tormenting certain types of kids and parents seems really backwards to me.

"Rich people's kids rule. Other people's kids get locked away in detention centers."

No, this is not the future.

This is rewarding certain kinds of adults for narcissism and putting them on a pedestal to keep certain programs running; programs that are failing a lot of people and I think they are going to fall apart eventually for the people that they seem to be benefiting as well.

Like seriously, some 4-year-olds are better at caring at their fellow human beings right now than some adults.

We are not living in a patriarchal society that puts children first. We are living in a patriarchal society that treats certain narcissistic adults like pampered children. It rewards them for arresting their own growth and development in order to fit in better with patriarchal society and its values.

Not sustainable!

I shared this with the bush that I see outside my window, too.

I feel like I'm a decent student, but perhaps not a very good acolyte.

I am so glad you are better than the Nazis and their enablers.

Could you please explain, in detail, all of the things that make you treat certain people differently than others, and why it's justified?

And please go into detail about how you know you do not dehumanize people in the way that, say, the Nazis and their enablers did?

Details! To show you've put some thought into this!

Maybe you should start investigating your survival strategies via writing exercises.

"Which family member role modeled the least amount of empathy for you when you were growing up and how did you know that?"

This is not a question for everybody, but it is a question for some people.

How old were you when you started learning that you needed the shallow, insensitive, narcissistic people to prop you up on a pedestal in order to keep your special, favored place in society?

I can only imagine how hard it must have been in the 1940s, less than 100 years ago, when my grandparents were teenagers...

"Madame now has a new trick up her sleeve: trying to get out of washing the pots and pans. If there's a bit of food left at the bottom of the pan, she leaves it to spoil instead of transferring it to a glass dish. Then in the afternoon when Margot is stuck with cleaning all the pots and pans, Madame exclaims, 'Oh, poor Margot, you have so much work to do!'"

Every other week Mr. Kleiman brings me a couple of books written for girls my age. I'm enthusiastic about the loop ter Heul series. I've enjoyed all of Cissy van Marxveldt's books very much. I've read The Zaniest Summer four times, and the ludicrous situations still make me laugh."

They're just so trained to know that your point of view is not important to a patriarchal mindset.

The problem is that sometimes people just don't unlisten to that training unless you get more unfriendly. Tiresome to be sure.

My life.

I don't have to act like I have to join a tribe of girls who act like they're where feminism goes to die in order to be like palatable enough to cross the threshold of wherever you're currently doing. Whatever you're doing.

Okay, I guess I'll figure out what that all means.

I just got an image of a thin hippie woman pointing to a shelf with like one TV dinner and two huge boxes of salad.

You have to listen to your body.

I think my body don't care about reincarnated loyalty. Royalty. Whatever! And the reason I say that is, because there's other priorities to consider right now that are more important when it comes to addressing health concerns.

Sometimes people are just clueless about what's best for your health and you need to make a different path.

My body literally cannot deal with the patriarchy right now. Lots of blood right now, too. I don't care to make a good impression today. I'm not going to make myself succeed in a way that is guy friendly today. I'm not going to do it. The guy friendly way is to look pretty in a certain way and act in a certain way and I just don't feel like doing that in this lifetime. I'm not going to do it.

Maybe that's what would really help the children. And the unpaid nannies.

Maybe the advantaged parents should help the disadvantaged parents more. Before an ICE recruiter swoops in and says oh all that stuff you see is exaggeration from the media and most of the time you just sit behind a desk and do paperwork. Or whatever the electronic equivalent is today. Wouldn't it be nice to have more money and be able to give your kids more things, like all the advantaged parents get to give their kids? Won't that be nice.

Think of how many disadvantaged parents took higher paying jobs with ICE because they have kids to feed.

This life...

When I was in 7th grade and I had to take the bus to the junior high and it would no longer come to my house so I had to walk a mile to the bus stop and there was an older young man who was already in high school and I was terrified of him and never wanted to encounter him during that mile long walk to the bus stop, but one day I did encounter him and as I was walking quickly he said nothing for several minutes but then he turned to me and said, "You best start running if you want to make it," meaning that I needed to start running if I wanted to catch the school bus.

There's a lot to heal...

There's still a storyline in the background like thinking about the duchess dying in child of birth and the mysterious fires happening. It's because feminine energy wasn't respected and was misused it's because there was channeling going on. Young girls getting married off to much older men and being chastised for actually putting down some boundaries. That was also very disrespectful.

I'm going to find some sound healing music for this morning.

I feel triggered by what's happening to some people on account of who's running things in this country, and I can't seem to just shut it off like other people do.

I feel traumatized by seeing somebody work 7 days a week as a result of being handed a set of adverse circumstances.

I feel like it's hard to relax completely, and this impacts my health.

The above three things do not make me feel like I am very patient when it comes to the self-centered white people right now.

I feel like I have to say say goodbye to some old ways and I'm feeling physically under the weather.

I'm transitioning into a different way of life and I'm going to learn to take better care of myself. It's really scary because part of me is in the same mindset / survival mode that became my reality in the past. But I'm getting to a point where I have to learn how to save myself.

It's just a questions exercise.

Are you averagely self-absorbed in a relatively acceptable 21st century way that makes it feel like being prejudiced against certain types of people is completely normal in your chosen community?

If they don't want to, they don't want to.

Even though we're no longer in witch burning times, fascism has taught me how futile it is to expect people to change or care about others any quicker than they want to care about others. And not caring seems to work out as a survival strategy for them. Better for some people than for others.

It seems to be a fine line.

Seems to be a fine line between people are actually interested in growing and helping others and healing and creating new things versus oh, they're just doing the old ways of promoting / protecting themselves and they don't really care about others again.

Oh good, some playfulness!

Wouldn't that be enlightening?

What if my side of the multifaceted self that's able to experience more "fun" could interact with the multifaceted selves of others who seem like they already know how to have more "fun" (and put themselves first), but they also know that they want to, maybe, you know, grow and not stay in the Dark Ages?

Humans have free will.

I don't agree with some people's survival strategies, and I really wish they had made some different choices sometimes. But life goes on, doesn't it?

Maybe this is a soul's growth thing.

Why does it seem smarter to suffer sometimes?

I think some people are going to have to grow up.

Because there are children inside of detention centers right now. For no good reasons. And that's not a good use of their tax dollars. At all.

Good, get out of the dark ages of medicine and make them do this in the U.S. too.

I have to go hug a tree but I have to do it in my mind.

Surely if I went away for 500 years and came back the trees would be respected and venerated!

Stress, poverty, sexism, exhaustion.

Enough enough enough enough.

Exhaustingly violent capitalistic patriarchal culture blah.

Blah blah blah blah.

Never again never again. Never again. Never again.

Sometimes I feel like I inherited some weird genetics that are like the crying genetics.

At the moment, they think I need to lie down, not perform or do anything.

It must be rest time for the PCOS perimenopausal body.

I'm exhausted. After I finish doing laundry, I'm done today. I have that "I never want to do this life over again ever again" feeling. Enough.

It's kind of fun to learn about what used to be normal and is now considered a novelty!

After watching the most disturbing (geez, I guess we have made some decent advances in the field of medicine in last few centuries after all) and also somewhat touching episode of "Diane de Poitiers," I cleaned a thick thick layer of dust off of the ceiling fan. And some of the dust fell on the bed. Next, I discovered that when you store the sheets on shelves they smell much better and than when you store them in an enclosed plastic container. So now they're airing out and they've been spritzed with lavender spray. And I have to go look up how to make a lavender sachet. Isn't it great to take a break?

Lady Jane Gray and Diane de Poitiers were alive at the same time.

Ladies, I've been asked to look at:

I could tell this kind of thing was coming on yesterday.

This morning, I need to put heating pads and a castor oil pack on top of the womb area and process some angry feelings about why so many people in this patriarchal society have been trained to be such insensitive assholes to women who have particular kinds of feminine health issues. Arrrrrgh! Charge! Okay, tranquilosate. You are helping your body out with your alternative healing remedy. Don't let the assholes distract you right now. You can help your uterus instead of getting distracted by assholes. Make helping and healing yourself more important than getting angry at the ignorant. You can do this. Besides witch, if you don't, the pain's going to flare up so badly you'll have no choice but to just focus on your own healing anyway. Peace be upon the body, the castor oil pack and the two heating pads, one on top of the other.

Friendship is beautiful!

Admiring some male friendship couples in a coffee shop that otherwise has solitary women in it. That's just how it happens to be.

There's two younger men who are friends in one corner. And two older men who are friends in another. They're just good at talking to each other. As a bonus, they are all from different ethnic backgrounds, too. 😹

Colonel of wisdom

You should take yourself out on the day you want to take yourself out and don't wait for a special occasion like your birthday because on your birthday you might not even want to go out and then you'll be pleased you get to stay in and you'll be happy that you went out on the day you wanted to.

I went out for a mile walk after drinking coconut water and then I had breakfast out and there were lots of leftovers and then I had some second breakfast and maybe later on I'll have a late third breakfast.

Let's see what happens!

I decided I do think it's entirely possible to have more fun and become more successful in the future and I have been conversing with one who is very suspicious of scams, so wouldn't it be fun to create more nice surprises for someone who's been hardworking and was not always so rewarded or well treated as others were, in my opinion?

Somehow, I ended up at a swap meet.

Anyways, these things take time sometimes.

I'll listen to my '40s music and notice that I just saw an older guy running up the road with a giant, giant American flag, and I must reiterate that it wasn't a little one, either. He's feeling patriotic today.

And what is wrong with you patriarchal people?

You didn't even try to tell me I should love myself more. You just tried to tell me I should love the idea of being a mother more, and of being, like, a servant to the patriarchy more. What is wrong with you?

Sharing a zany thought to break out of the not so liberating thinking.

What if, when I gained more weight this year on account of PCOS and perimenopause, it's actually because I'm supposed to feel kind of more in love with the idea of being in a state of pregnancy, but not for the purpose of producing a child, but just as a part of the experience of loving living in a female body in this lifetime on Earth? And the idea of being pregnant with possibilities in this body can happen in a way that could be connected with multiple things? And can have multiple meanings? And to not having to fit myself into a certain shape or box or mold to satisfy a more rigid way of thinking?

This is kinda scary.

I'll just contemplate this notion for a little while.
