Showering for my work out and then doing my hair in funny braids. I have been wearing my hair like I did in Japan years ago. I wonder if those kids still have the pieces of my hair they ripped out of my head. I learned how to track myself and can redo some songs that I sang when I was pressed for time and pain in a paid studio. Now, i can take my time and sweeten my voice. I also know the songs better too. I put aside painting for a while. I had made arrangements to sell them and started a series on Tombstone. I don't want to tell the story of what happened, it was just disappointing. I have plenty of Tombstone paintings for my studio now. Living alone can be the opposite of magic. I go to bed, and in my dreams the dishes are washed, the clothes clean. I wake up, and there are still dirty clothes in the sink and dirty dishes in the laundry basket. Ha ha got cha. Yes, I know I am a terrible comedian. Who's laughing now? My Dad came to visit, twice in the past couple of months. I consider myself lucky. I took him to Vonseyland to show him the fantastic fish and butcher shop. Every week, week after week I see the huge lobsters for sale. I have been waiting for my Dad to come visit to buy him one and make him dinner. I take him there, and there are no lobsters. I have never seen no lobsters before. Apparently someone had just come and bought them all. I got Dad some crab legs, which I call "crab feet" because the end has a knuckle that makes no sense other than to be a foot. We had a nice visit and he spent the night downstairs. I stayed upstairs in the children's bunk beds. Ha ha They are not trundle, not stacking. Second visit, I boosted about the lobster, just wait until you see them! no lobsters. I called him on the phone and told him next time he is going to visit, do not tell Vonseyland or they will sell all his lobsters. Has anyone noticed that one lemon cost .99 cents now? or is that just me here in super expensive food California. You know why women are all skin and bones in Hollywood? Because food cost an arm and a leg. Literally. So, I drove to the empty lot where there is a lemon tree busting with lemons and picked 5 bucks, throwing back a nickle under the tree.
