Cheryl

Sitting in the waiting room and a guy comes in and wants Diogenes to look at his truck. I thought it would be something to do, and so went out and listened to the conversations. He was from North Carolina, had moved out here, had an appendectomy, and his parents had to fly him home for the recovery. He was here to take his stuff back, and had taken the vehicle to a dealer for an oil change and they told him he had oil and steering fluid leaks, and wanted thirteen hundred dollars to fix the problem, which going back to North Carolina he could not afford. He wanted assurance; he couldn't find anything wrong. We all agreed there didn't seem to be any problem. It was suggested he carry oil and brake fluid and check both, each time he stopped for gas. I said why you go to a dealer? They are notorious for over-charging. You should have come to this guy. The secret of life is to find the honest person. You go to the funky places. The fancier they are the more likely you will get ripped off. The deal is to find the honest guy whether it be mechanic, doctor. lawyer, carpenter or whatever it is. The honest guy knows what he is doing. He has to; he is not faking it.

First days of winter been raining and cold. Eeee-GAD another winter with little heat. Just discovered a new invention. Well been thinking about it, but today I did it. Where is there heat? Generally in the attic. The attic trap is right outside my bedroom door. Got a ladder and checked the attic; it was cold this morning, but sunny all day. The heat is in the eighties up there now in the afternoon. Put a fan in the attic and have aimed it down toward my room. Closed off the the little hall there, bathroom and bedroom door and the curtain to the living room, so the heat has to come in my room. So it is blowing hot air. Will take the whole winter to test it, but so far a go. Raised the temperature eight degrees in less than two hours today - wow.

Did not see Cheryl for quite some time. Finally I asked, what happened to Cheryl? "She got transferred" was th answer. So that's the end of that. May never see her again. My friend Cliff was over the other day. He has been wanting me to smoke with him for maybe a year now. I said maybe if you come over early. I can't do it around dinner time because I might not be able to sleep. So I got a call while I was at the bank, before eleven a.m. I knew it. He brought me homemade Lasagna from his mom. Wow it was good. So got stoned for the first time in maybe seven years. God am I a psychiatrist. Got in touch with my deeper self, the cosmic guy. He is there all alone. Been there all alone all his life, no one to talk to. No one who can understand him. People have to take drugs to understand what he says. He is connected to the cosmic supercomputer, and now I have been typing with my eyes closed. Of course the question is why am I not more closely connected? Probably because then I would be like him and have no social life whatever. Too much business and not enough love. Don't want to be too close; he is too estranged. But I did learn that I am totally self-built. And because I built myself from scratch, I may be completely original. We had quite a good time and discussed many philosophical, psychological and metaphysical things.

Got my blood work results today. Thank God for Saturday mail. 100% normal. Not a single non-normal number. Wow again. Hard to believe when I had an enlarged prostate and high cholesterol. Must be a catch somewhere. Now just my eyes. Adjusted the monitor lower to the floor about five inches. Adjusted the angle of my recline to the rear, a more straight-on view. Seems I was doing a lot of up reaching with my eyes. Actually they seem better already, although that may only be psychological optimism illusion. Just before I went to the doctor, I was thinking what have I been doing different since I started losing weight? Taking Vitamin D, thinking it might help with my prostate. Looked it up on Google. 'vitamin d weight loss'. First up - healthy way to lose weight. Weight loss and Vitamin D. I stopped taking Vitamin D there and then. Was also taking Chinese herbs. The doctor and I agreed I should stop taking everything until the weight issue got resolved except the fish oil. The other good news was I only lost half as much weight as I thought. She has it on record. Have an appointment with a Dietician. She has to tell me how to eat with no money.
