WTF 18

......Got the Yukon to the Carmax for repairs. Got some people written to, got some food, got my bra tag taken off and pizza for dinner. Talked to Jonas while we were at the store - told him I was worried about him and missed him. He sent a chicken recipe and said he got a radio for mom. Good for her to have.

Watched the first episode of Chernobyl - chillingly factual and insane. Just like now, just like here. Lies so commonplace that the truth becomes hard to recognize. That is the fear.

Called Sinikka - wrote Jan. Lots of registration stuff and NSA meetings. Saw Whitney Cummings. Very funny. Had reversed the numbers of my LOFT order from 2328 to 2823 ... the recipient found me on Facebook and texted me.

Read in my book a little - she is moving time and things around as you do when you think and walk and remember in all directions at once. And the internal emotional reality gets mixed up with the external reality and what does it really matter if what you see is a painting or a person - afterwards you remember it the same or similarly. Reminded of Luanne Frank's suggestion that we not stop at the things we understand and recognize, but focus and spend time with the things that do not make sense, that do not resonate.

Simone Dinnerstein - circles - is like hearing Bach in technicolor from inside his head, pulsing, swirling, five dimensional, hot and heavy. A bit of a revelation.

Talked to mom for a while. She is overweight and out of breath, but of good cheer. I hope she gets her medicine figured out soon.

Cleaned out the pantry and went to In 'n Out for lunch and then to Container Store where there were too many people and we got some stuff but I got overwhelmed and a little panicky with people being too close. Put everything back in the pantry and watched four episodes of Doc Martin and had tuna.

Thinking about how to build bridges to the Trumpers, so they have a safe way from the sinking ship to shore. So they can abandon the cult and find capital useful outside of Donnyland. We have to help with that.

Got the mail. Took a nap. Watched three episodes of I'll be gone in the Dark which is gripping and a great love story. and then vacuumed and did some laundry and then went for a walk while Jim talked to Kim and it was nice as it always is to be out, to walk, to talk to the trees, and see the people. Then two episodes of Tudors.
