They have a bunch of games in front of the place too.
Some people behind me were playing chess but they left and now I'm the only one here. Savoring this culinary greatness all by myself on a Saturday night.
Even the bad things end up being good and fun.
After I ordered food she told me if I wanted to have a drink I would get it at the gas station. But I just decided to get a bottle of water from my car.
I accidentally mashed the top of my water bottle and I couldn't drink out of it. But I still had an old bottle of water in my car so I figured I could pour it in that one. And in the meantime, I watered a little olive tree or something that was in a pot.
And then I noticed a wine bottle was sticking in it. It says Star Lane vineyards. Now I am fascinated and I want to know what that is about. They have a very pretty label on the bottle.
Back to eating this delicious gourmet food that tastes like it should be like prepared for weddings or something!
Oh no! I can't see them tomorrow! They will be closed on Sunday. Well I guess I'll just have to come back to the region. Check them out another day.
It is SO good.
I could cry but I'm not going to because I'm just too busy tasting it. Yum! Gourmet.
Oh the hummus, and the kebab and the bulgar and the salad and the sauces and oh oh everything.
I hope my phone, I mean food, comes soon because I'm almost too tired to eat.
I feel like I've met (IRL) or become acquainted with the existence of a few lonely geniuses in this lifetime and some of them are not famous at the moment and maybe some of them are kind of famous at the moment and I'm just like, you guys...
I gotta travel more often!!!
I'm having the most working class feeling but fun evening! Staying at a motel and going out to eat at a Mediterranean restaurant connected to a gas station before I go to sleep.
Yesterday I had my Airbnb in wine country and wine tasting and concert on the lawn
Have to remember to bring better phone charging equipment. As in, I need to remember to bring the plug that goes into the wall because some of these places do not have the latest phone charging technology.

Oh it's not the first time I've heard this but just waiting for a space to be free so it's coming back in my head again.

But there's all these connections that are still happening anyways.

I know what I'm going to do now.
I'm going to drive in my sandals and keep the chunky high heels in the car and then ask if it's a good spot to wear the high heels or not.
I suppose that when you become a spirit, you don't have to be this shallow anymore.
I brought along my nice thick chunky high heels, probably just to wear inside; however I did not bring any jeans, and I am regretting it.

It's a Caring About Humanity & Human Health thing.
If certain types of thin people and certain types of mothers and certain types of people in the spirit world now seem to be less prejudiced and able have more respect for my experiences than others at this time, then I'll just have to enjoy that, and hope that maybe some of the other kinds of people who used to seem to have the potential to be more open-minded / curious about others will catch up soon.
It is an ordeal.
I can't believe how many people are still convinced that to be prejudiced against certain types of women living in certain types of bodies is what feels normal and good enough for them.

Maybe I'll read this novel and then I'll watch the new film when it comes out.
"East of Eden | John Steinbeck (10/10)"
I threw a slobbery ball for a dog several times today.
Today was so different from yesterday. Thank God. And I walked outside and noticed the lunar eclipse was going on. Didn't get a good picture of it because my phone doesn't take good pictures. But today my body was cooperating better and I made life different and I did it "All By Myself..."
(Cute song, "All By Myself.")
Also, I heard some 60s music on the radio and I was thinking oh Lucy probably would have listened to that one but then I was like well who are you to know? After all, other people knew her so much better than you. Perhaps you would pick a song and they'd say that wasn't the kind of music that Lucy would listen to at all. But then, I just as I was thinking that thought, I was passing by a road and it said Lucy Brown.
Lucy Brown!
Could Lucy Brown be a great name for a character?
Kind of makes me think of Charlie Brown a little bit.
And later I was revisiting that moment as I walked through the park and it was like, "Yeah, but of course, one must let go of things..."
And then I heard a bell go *ding.* It sounded like a meditation bell, but it wasn't. It was a bunch of moms and kids on the playground. Tiny little children were playing on an instrument, making the *ding* noise. It sounded like a good noise.
I feel that we can be guided by people who have transitioned (death) because their higher self is interested in us, but then again, maybe a part of them is also already reincarnated as a little kid, having new experiences. Isn't that a trip?
And then I began walking across the big lawn in the park, back towards my car, and for some reason the song of the evening came back to me...
("The Party")
Especially the part about ticking and tocking.
Think of all the different kinds of clocks people have looked at throughout the centuries.
I feel like something I admire about 19th Century Transcendentalists ever so long ago is how they had real conversations and arguments with each other. I don't know. Maybe it's stressful to communicate that way sometimes, but they didn't have TV, so what else were they supposed to do? They didn't have social media accounts to post and repost things.
In the past, I felt like when people didn't like what I had to say, I was like but you're just trying to shut me down. You're just trying to oppress me. You're just trying to censor me blah blah blah blah blah. Its more important to say it now because in the future it's not going to seem as odd was also something that was part of my response.
And that's quite true in this lifetime of mine. Because when I was a child or even a younger adult, I would express feminist sentiments that are kind of normal to people now. But they used to make people say oh you're that feminist blah blah blah. Because they weren't normal enough back then, but then later they became more normal and acceptable to society and people don't say that as much anymore. They don't say oh, you're such a feminist like it's a bad thing as often.
Although I will say sometimes their actions communicate that they might still be thinking it.
But ways of communicating could change in the future because everything's just a little partial view of what's all going on. An energy gets inside of you, and you don't know how to let it out. Maybe you use words. Maybe you use music. Maybe you go meditate. Maybe you lie on some grass. Maybe you pet a nice pet. Maybe read a book. Maybe watch a movie. Maybe you talk to a person. Maybe you don't talk to a person. What do you do?
Traveling can make me feel like a really different person sometimes.

Can I do this more often?
I'm feeling super fortunate because my body's not acting like it wants me to feel agonizingly miserable today, so I have been able to enjoy my journey! There's also a partial lunar eclipse happening but sadly, no good pictures were made by this phone.
I meant to say it feels like a cold morning, even though it's a hot day.
It's a cold warning. (?) I feel like I need tea and blankets and maybe a cocoon.
I really hope people could get open to the fun side of spiritual beings wanting to help us.
It's so much fun when somebody from the other side finally gets to talk to you and I hope other people can experience that someday even if they weren't ready for it when I was ready for it...???
I really feel like I'm starting to recover from whatever hellish stuff I was going through yesterday so I'm happy about that.
I want to think about something that's more funny now.
Someday you could have a friend who could seem gay to some people, and the universe will keep saying, "Yeah, that's part of his personality, and another part of his personality is more like Jack from Three's Company." Ha-ha. Who knows where these thoughts come from? Maybe just they come from out there in the universe somewhere...
People are learning about caring all the time.
People will show you they want to feel more compassionate towards others when they want to. You can find some people who want to and are capable of it right now. Others who you thought would be more capable of it are not wanting seem like they are at the moment, and if you bring it up to them, they might just get defensive and want to continue on with their same old ways. If it's too painful to see this, then you need to find the other people who are more receptive and want to show it now. Maybe the others will be more receptive later. Or maybe it will happen in a different lifetime. But eventually, more people will want to show they are, but sometimes it takes a while.
Some thoughts on empathy, and then hopefully, some sleep again.
When people struggle with showing or having empathy for others who are different from them, it shows the fragility of what they received from the patriarchal systems.
When people can demonstrate empathy for others who are different from them, it shows what human beings are capable of in spite of the fragility of the patriarchal systems.
When I feel better...
I want to watch films with people and let's not be too mad just because we had some different life circumstances affecting our outlooks and our communications.
It feels like my friend's mom who feels more like my friend now was like a queen of the woods and she is happy about how she transitioned. And it's a very admirable way, and it's very reflective of loving nature. And she can be really humorous, too.

Maybe in the future we can have a more health-oriented society that is inclusive of more different kinds of people.
I feel like if this was a more health-oriented society then a lot more people who are not so advantaged by the way things currently are set up would get the help that they need and they would get listened to more and people would celebrate that more too. I guess if I have some issues with my health that I struggle with then I need to make trying to get better a priority, and if that means a couple of people who seem more sensitive or interested and curious are more able to listen, and if sometimes it means talking to angels or spirits is what is supposed to happen, then I guess that's what's going to happen?
I would love to just let go of those expectations now.
Tired of stressing out about being able to meet my expectations for travel plans just because my body feels terrible today. I honestly just feel like sleep and painkiller and a teddy bear sounds good. And I don't think I'm normally a teddy bear person, but for some reason the teddy bear sounds nice right now.

Oh let this pass please.
Let it be a good sign please. The girl at the checkout said she had a headache yesterday but it's gone today. If mine is gone tomorrow it would be so wonderful.
I can't hardly eat any food right now. Even one extra bite of a piece of watermelon is too much. I just can't.
Time to take care of just one body right now.
Just one that's filled with knowledge that the world has got so many people in it that your Society seemingly doesn't want to care about because it's too much for them to process.
I really hope tomorrow is better.
I can't believe I have made plans this week when I feel this bad today and I need to drag this body which is filled with pain and nausea to the store to try to get some healthy stuff for it.
Perhaps they're just enjoying a sleepwalking experience for a little while longer yet.
You may feel like there's just as many women who are holding up the ways of the imbalanced Patriarchal Society as there are men.
This is just a blip in a journey and a bigger picture will be created out of it.
Amazing genius artist versus outcast witch who gets sick and suffers. It's terrible that Society is set up that way. I think it's not good enough for humanity. People deserve better. Just like it's not good enough that some people get put in concentration camps, and other people get to live their lives freely. Anyways, I hope tomorrow feels much better.
What do the crystals say now?
"Suffer less, pioneer." I don't know. Maybe that's kind of my mind.
"Integrate..."
Think I need to lay some gemstones on me.
It seems like people are more brutal than death when they're going along with certain societal patterns because death is a part of the cycle of nature. And if more people were in touch with those cycles, then it wouldn't seem odd to talk to the spirit of your loved one who has transitioned.
Such a joy! ❄️🐘🍚🧊
A cold rice pack that's big enough to cover your forehead and eyes and also flop down to your earlobes so you feel like it makes you think of Dumbo ears.
Gratitude under dress.
I mean about a dress under duress, because it's a great privilege to be able to have something nice to wear when you don't care and your favorite thing about the whole afternoon is getting to lie your neck on a rice pack from the freezer. Frozen things are beautiful for being in the world and that's what's good in life right now.

I don't think that it's very actually loving to act that way.
Some people seem to find conformity to be very comforting and perhaps even lucrative for them financially but I think it's just weird how it seems like some people don't want to know a lot about what's going on with others. They appear to want to remain in ignorance. They want their life on purpose to be simpler, even if that means other people get dehumanized in the process.
Did their parents raise them to be that way? That could be. I don't think that there is any guarantee that just because their parents were that way and they are choosing to be that way that future generations are going to be able to be that way, and I think that it's very sad that that's the best that they seem to be able to think they can do.

Hmmm.
It's almost like learning about listening to what your body really needs is not about resisting or conquering or rebelling. Cuz you don't have to resist and conquer and rebel when you're listening and trying to work together.
Healthy people also care about the environment.
If you could send the people in charge and the ICE agents and etcetra to a spa and then they would learn how to take better care of themselves and get motivated to do something better, and would stop oppressing other people's bodies in exchange for money or whatever, I'd say go for it. Likewise, if you could send some rich people who don't seem to care very much about the environment to a spa that would get them more in touch with nature, and then suddenly they would really start caring...
Health is super important when you have a body on Earth to take care of.
People need to get better at looking out for their health so that means women needs to get better at looking out for women's health, men need to get better at looking out for men's health, etc. And then they will be able to help each other more.
Scale is not making sense over here.
7 lb less last week. Looking less bloated today than yesterday. 2 lb heavier today in the morning. Make it make sense, or not? Maybe the point is for it to not make sense.
I'm grateful my headache seems to be fading away.
My body is physically ill and super tired and I feel like I'm going to throw up but this too shall pass.
Getting shut down by people because they need to control the narrative
Seeing fascism is in regular people not just that horrible man doing his horrible things
Figuring out how to get better at listening to the body so it doesn't get to this point love and treat yourself better
That thought / belief is such a relief!
Some people who wanted to control the narrative yesterday or might still wanting to be do so today may be less apt to want to do so tomorrow because they're going to get more curious. That's awesome.
Recover a lost art maybe. The lost art of having a conversation.
I could explain more in conversations and get better feedback in conversation. So why don't some people want to have conversations? What are you creating? What are you surviving? How do you treat people? Which people do you treat in this particular way and which people do you treat in that other particular way? Who do you have to treat in what way and why? It's about getting to know yourself better too. Or getting to know who you're becoming, since that's what part of being human is. It's about changing and growing and stuff.
Survive pain, grief, aching face, body, etc.
Muscles are sore from weights and swimming. Feeling really sad about human grief. Not about spirits because they're they're doing better than we are. I have something like a migraine. Hopefully if I detox today tomorrow will be much better.
I think being able to play the little string instrument is calming.

I took magnesium. I hope I can go to sleep soon.
I almost wish I wasn't going on a little vacation and getting anxiety about aches and pains. I almost wish it was my time to transition, but it's not yet. I think people who are on the other side are having more fun. I had the most delightful fun I practically had all year when someone from the other side was overjoyed to be listened to. And now that's gotten shut down. I'm glad that there are swimming pools. Swimming is, in a calming way, maybe the second most fun I've had all year. I had some other fun moments too, though.
It sounds like fun!
I think a much wider variety of people will be treated a whole lot better (and that's what they deserve), when we let celebrity culture peter out and start feeling more enthusiastic about respecting the Earth and our environment.
Maybe we'll have rocking chairs and relaxation and an easy sense of humor about facing death!
Maybe I'll mellow out and lots of things that are strange to us now will be more amusing to us when we're older. Maybe we'll process deep traumas, rediscover old ways that were lost, and invent new ones.

The universe dares to disturb me.
I had a dream about wildlife that is very uncomfortable to think about. Someone was telling me that I could roll up a possum who was "playing possum" in a towel and hide it from ICE agents in the towel for several hours and then I could take it outside and unroll it and set it free.
Humanity and humane treatment is healing.
Who can you rely on? Someone who can have a conversation with you about things. Not meaning that they're going to always agree with you about everything, but they can acknowledge you and talk to you.
Human beings are sometimes mysterious.
They acquire strange habits.

I have to get spiritual because I want explanations.
Like why was the universe making me think so much about a certain scenario / dynamic and then why was the universe ever so gracefully telling me to also put that sort of dynamic alongside a different life with a different sort of dynamic. But that's only one thing and there's other things. There's always other things, and as long as I can be in relatively good health and in a state of sanity, I can handle it.
Walking different paths and having different experiences is what happens in this realm.
Maybe we can be better friends later if we agree that I am simply not set up or equipped to do a lot of the things that you were able to do and sometimes I don't know why but it seems like I just have a more rigid program I have to follow and I suffer more intensely in this body and that includes the psyche when things get out of balance and so I hope that I can find more peace and relaxation.
Well that makes sense. I'm going to tap.

Since I was feeling so much more peaceful earlier this afternoon.
I guess it's different from the other thing.
Just got shown a "funny" video and it was the most irritating thing ever. It was about somebody feeding the dog food it wasn't supposed to be eating and then pretending to be innocent about it and yelling for his mom to come in and saying the dog was eating the food he wasn't supposed to be eating.
I'm so mad. I don't even think I had anything that was all that bad today. I think the worst thing I ate was when I had the pastries on Sunday. I'm really pissed off about this whole dynamic with pmos and perimenopause and food and how society treats women's bodies and I'm so mad. I'm so mad; really so, so mad.
The other thing I was mad about was that I'm tired of being so interesting that I've gotten access to so many stories and I'm just going to like have to lay down and die and somebody else will have to make something with them because I'm sick of it.
It's a temporary feeling; it'll pass, but I just don't think I will ever want to do this lifetime again when I have this sort of an evening. I just don't want to ever do it again.
I will learn to listen to what is needed for healing. I will do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can stop doing it but then I can start again.
Somehow I took on a lot of things and I have to heal from them, so I'm not going to be very exciting. Probably I'll just be boring and focusing on healing. I hope so. I get very anxious to heal when I start getting physical symptoms. I will really change myself this time and it will get much better, I say.
Moon rising over tree.
Can you help humans heal more from the painful things they have been carrying?
I will get to the next rung of healing one way or another.
I get intermittent physical sensations that are not what I would like to keep feeling. The gallbladder area seems to be affected again. Maybe I wasn't eating correctly, or maybe I wasn't on the right path emotionally. Maybe I have to get back on a better path. Maybe have to ask for more guidance. Maybe I have to ask for more patience.

How tired I am.
My genetics are really making me feel like this life is a challenge. I cannot jump through all the hoops to please people. I have to figure out what I need to do to make my body be more healed than it is right now. I'm going to try to get more intuitive and I hope everything I'm doing this week will help me work towards a more balanced state of health and towards feeling better in this kind of body.
I think I'll bring some flower essences on my journey...
I think when you've been constantly bombarded with messages that the patriarchal culture will find ways to shut certain kinds of people down or up or out, you need to try to heal, and healing requires calming the nervous system, but sometimes a part of calming the nervous system can involve having some fun?

Why should I say people act like numbnuts sometimes?
Because their patriarchal indoctrination made them numb and it makes them seem kind of nutty. Everybody's been numb, and everybody's been nutty. At some point.
It's interesting how they both have that in common.
Ghosts say they're not really dead. Their spirits are still alive.
Oppressed people say they're not dead, and even if you don't want to acknowledge them, they're still alive.
Bad at talking about some things, but...
Good at making sacrifices!
Only 1/8 of my grandparents benefited from their cultural norms, so I don't think it was really worth it, huh?
But that's weird. Why are they being so weird?
And never forget you would be outcast to another village, probably one with no internet yet, if you'd been born into another set of circumstances.
Perhaps ghosts is the best explanation.
Future grandchildren of America:
But why couldn't my less oppressed grandparents acknowledge the humanity of my more oppressed grandparents back in the 2020s?
Their patriarchal white supremacy cult indoctrination training went very deep, and it was kind of like asking them to listen to ghosts or something.
There's other motivational factors to consider.
I feel like when higher levels of trust are circulating, there will be more sharing of the important details about that time when life was really really good.

And that's another reason why having conversations can be beautiful!

The nervous system appreciates acts of self-preservation.
I still cannot believe how unfeminist in their thought processes some people are, especially considering what's going on at the moment, but it's their survival strategy, and it's what feels like is working for them, and I don't know what else to say about it. I guess I give up.

Sharing is caring!
Pretty good day.
"Eight miles high... 🎶" I went out to eat a meal that my sister ate when she was here because it was Santa Maria tri-tip for a better price at a diner, because I think I'm going to go by myself to Paso Robles (which I've never been to before and always wanted to visit) and I can see Tori Amos in concert there, and I thought I might have time to visit Pismo Beach and Santa Maria and drive by that house in Arroyo Grande which I felt weirdly drawn the first time the first time I passed it and then after I read about it I realized I'd had dreams that are like seeing things through the eyes of the ghost story of Alice that was told about it. So I wanted to eat the tri- tip meal my sister ordered at another location when she visited earlier this year. And take some of it home with me to share. After I got to the diner, I realized there's cute depictions of bears everywhere, and I took pictures.
Probably just have to look for the little gifts in life these days.
I discovered I had two herbal "Lunar" cigarettes that I'd hidden from myself and they're like a gift. From the Blue Lotus and other fairies.
I feel like I might be able to have more conversations in the future if some spirit or person wants to talk to me.
Instrumental yoga music with weights and who knows what kind of music with swimming is nice to hear today.
Fun with patriarchal nonsense!

I'm not dealing with their lordships right now.
It seems as though the spirit world does not have as much invested in hierarchical status as a patriarchal human society does.
It's the middle of the night, or rather, the morning when it's still dark.
And I just feel like way too many women have gotten duped by the patriarchy and I can't stop feeling that way. So I have to go sit by a stream and sing and strum an instrument or something. I mean men could be fun to dance with and stuff but they're not very good at so many things. I hate to generalize. I know there are exceptions. It's just the exceptions are so few and far between... I need to go cry by a stream... The Earth classroom has been such a trial in this incarnation... Look out for things to get better. Consider communicating with spirits that want to help you.
Sigh.
Go ahead and dabble in imagining being a self-absorbed patriarchal person, because you're never gonna be able to truly regress to that point on a permanent basis in this life.

Petting a cat is a good thing.
Probably too many movies teaching people that when the great injustices happen, the warrior gets activated and then convinces people to do the right thing, and that's less likely to happen in certain circumstances, but then again one wonders if it does make sense to be that way sometimes, but perhaps not enough has been said about chilling out and petting the cat and all that sort of thing. Children need to learn how to heal from trauma and a lot of the weird behaviors and messages they were exposed to carried over into adulthood and actually the point of that thought probably was that adults who used to be children need to figure out something better and more healing. I think petting a cat is better right now.
Lately, I was supposed to know several layers of things.
"Angel Blessings: Cards of Sacred Guidance and Inspiration by Kimberly Marooney"| Goodreads
I was supposed to look at some books on account of some things that have been happening here.
"You Are A Channel by Sara Landon" | Goodreads
I was supposed to remember this movie exists because people are watching it in another part of the country.
Time to go back to the petting the cat and the little string instrument!

I feel like I've excavated and uncovered an old self that I really like, apparently!.
This just reminds me that sometimes when I lived by myself in an apartment in Illinois there were times when I was incredibly lonely, but then again, sometimes I felt so freeeee... And when I was taking my solo long distance road trips... That was the best...
Bathtub is much cleaner (even the weird unsanded side) and the old junk mail is getting weeded!
I love the smell of bleach. It smells like a vacation or something. I feel like new possibilities are unfolding right now!
I just like that "Pressure" song.
I don't need to watch this show but the other eater of the pastries enjoyed it and said he didn't think the ending was as bad as people online are saying.

Live a little!
Buy three pastries! Two savory and one sweet.
And then share them and say, but it's only like I ate one and a half pastries.
Anyways, not everyone can join the same cult in this lifetime, and that's a good thing.
Would you like to be a devotee, a.k.a. like a Stepford Wife without the husband? Obviously not.
So offensive!!!
