A Lazy Day and Night

Sunday

I accepted Sherri's offer to accompany her and Ashley to KINDERFOTO at the Southland Shopping Mall in Hayward, CA. After the photo session we hit my mom's house for some of her homemade pancakes.

I lounged on this Sunday at home from 2PM until 5:30PM. We all need days like that sometimes.

Eileen did telephone me once. She was semi-urging me to go to the movies with her to see "BLACK WIDOW". I didn't feel like the long drive though. I remained home.

I went to SAFEWAY with my mom and saw Linda Byrne. She's that blond gal (from Alameda High School) who is a few years younger than I. I recalled how I had taken her to lunch about four years ago. She is working at SAFEWAY and she actually saw me with Eileen the other night. I wonder if she remembered me. I bought some Prestone coolant for my radiator and some oil and proceeded to add them to my car.

I went to mom's house again and snaked up a storm until around 9PM. I decided to go home and watch a new movie starring Ann-Margret called "The Two Mrs. Granville's". I was falling asleep half way through the movie. It was truly a lazy day and night all around the clock.

I am dreaming and wondering of the events that will take place in Los Angeles next weekend. Time will tell.

I even got to the point where I began telling myself at least I had my health and a roof over my head and three meals a day, that I wasn't blind or deformed, that sometimes you hit a losing streak but you're bound to start winning sooner or later.
