So spent about a week going back and forth
looking for postal mail, on some things
expected to come in, and slow,
but finally got,
but since up and out,
try WiFi
and keep going,
a loop of various things,
and furthest was Lidl,
usually getting there before it opened,
and some people out front, waiting,
like me, and maybe a little more like
WareHouse/ Food Pantry
but way shorter,
mostly people commuting, i'm guessing
on way i had the sun in my eye,
people going the other way dealing
with inbound commuting rush hour,
as getting to be 0800a store opening
andp eople trying to get to work by 0900a
in downtown likely some where,
along a windy (Sp?) no shoulder road,
and for me up big hill(s)

I'd been using the eBike,
had oiled/ lubed the chain,
and it's the only thing working at the moment,
as can't seem to get the 26 x 2.5 inner tubes
from warehouse benefits, as short last order
and the next expected order didn't happen in January
and now mid February, so months of not getting
things, i even checked Phoenix last night,
before closing at 1800p, afaict, and they
would have to order, and rather costly,
consider difference with wholesale to retail,
and not a volunteer there since wiped the
volunteer list with pandemic...
But some staff changes, so will see,
might be worth at least buying occasionally,
if not attacked while visiting,
and damage to the bike if they do anythign to it,
like before...


Anyways, walking was done, and fell,
(see DownAndOut) on bad snow day(s),
sale days were WednesDay, starts a new
sales week, new items on clearance,
breads, not a lot of Farmer's Bread
but trying other things like thier marshmallow
plain white bread for $0.50, since not gotten at
pantry, or not certain would get...


Last trip, YesterDay,  ended up wtih
4 breads, thought 50% off but
newer cashier, and old white guy,
rang up as 0.50 off, instead of 50% off
so lost a bit there...
but they were 30% off like the meats,
fish and dairy, going / getting older,
towards or at expiration date,
use quickly...

So how to use 4 loaves of bread in a couple
days before they go bad, since can't freeze them,
no freezer space, even without ice cream maker
freezing bowls in there...

BTW the gelato was on sale, i only bought 1 of 2
and a 2 fer sale so paid regular price
Caramel Cookie
and
they had an Exresso a young person wanted,
when saw, hanging around the frozen section
i jumped in and got what i needed,
something going on there,
underage? a student, med student following,
or have to read me, sort of thing, idk,
but i didn't hand expresso to her,
and masking etc, breathing, left
it not all the way in the back
on the top, some Caramel and other
stuff, expresso going fast, i guess,
almost empty, and was getting two per
trip, limiting myself to eating
and coming back, a long way to just buy
one, similar with bread, and this wouldn't
spoil, taking a freezer backback bag,
that ripped out the shoulders strap,
so issues there, fell someplace
HomeDepot across the way, when carrying
a lot a while back, but sturdier than
the TraderJoes insulated bag(s),
back when i lost the motion powered
blinkie, arm band...

Anyways, see some of the same people,
and letting others ahead as figuring out
what i might want/ go back and get,
totalling up, etc, sale items,
clearance, and stables like toilet paper,
buy 4 more ~$3 , and roll of paper towels $0.50

Nice enough people even if it was at the end
of my day(s), i'm overly talkative,
get home and to bed,
as likely up all night, stress,
and with off sleep schedules...

Ironically finally getting the EBT
card, last night not at the post office,
but at home, which wasn't where i was looking
for it, the envelope was open, oddly,
not sealed well, i guess, hope it works,
no one stealing benefits, etc...
Someone seemed to be saying they got my card
instead, and/or i'm loved, and some other
weird stuff, going on a ski trip,
trying to fix me up with her mother,
keep her busy while they have fun,
seem to think i'm their science project,
someone else looking after the gimp
so they can go away holiday weekend,
i guess this is ski trip weekend,
maybe not that romantic, for teens
and others, but something different,
guessing last time(s) before gets warm,
selling blocks of rentals, etc
Deep Creek Lake, WISP, etc...
Smaller mountains, but good enough to
start, and practice,

I'd tried BreckenRidge in Colorado
taking my cousin's car to him when
terminal with AIDS in California,
arriving about his birthday time
early November, about the time
my uncle committed suicide
when terminal with cancer,
a tough time, to say the least...

and Mont Tremblanc (sp?) up near MontReal
as a high school ski trip, iirc...
So many decades ago...

Anyways, started recognizing some customers,
friendly enough towards most that i could
figure out weren't stalking/ trying to talk
to me, and most just getting fresh bakery,
a break from driving, sitting in traffic,
and likely a bathroom break,
as occupied, a lot... i'd wait til my next
stop, etc...

Smoe good routine waking showering,
dressing, nuke a sweet potato as breakfast,
not too mich liquid so don't have to find
a bathroom and hopefully not poop
if not walking, riding, and more quicker
options for bathrooms, once things open up
after 0600a or whenever,
depending on the store(s)...

Titling reminding me of the school detention
movie with emil estovez or similar,
one of the Scheen (sp?) kids, and Ally?
or some kid(s) now likely grey haired
or balding like me, online services
may have snippets, what they do when
waiting and a Ferris Beuler's Day Off
type mentality, some good music, iirc,
but been so long, maybe stream sometime
when waiting on other stuff(s),
but other things to do,
shower and get going, if doing the routine,
still, pre dawn departure,
mouring/ morning pages, completed,
drivel, more sentence like than recent
just notes, FreeWriting and remove those
blocks to communication, not writer's block
that assumes some quality and skills,
likely not present, but an antiAutism?
communication difficulties?
and dyslexia treatment, self administered?
will see...
