Tu 5/18/21- Water Downstairs/ Anne Died

 Tu 5/18/21

925am. 935pm. 

Up 730am: Rain all day and through tomorrow morning. Today temps to mid 60's, but tomorrow to 80. No water downstairs this morning, but flooding warnings are in effect.

(It began seeping between 8am and 9am)

*Texted Adam about when Kyes can begin the demo work.

***WATER DOWNSTAIRS. I noticed when I went downstairs just after 9am.  

Watched Netflix disc 'YELLOW ROSE'. A film about the plight of undocumented Americans with the story of a young Texas girl who loves Country Western and learning to perform for an audience, yet she's facing deportation to Manila. Mom gets caught in an ICE raid and daughter might be the next to go, but her friends at The Broken Spoke saloon give her a helping hand. Sounds corny, yet it felt authentic.  The key players were actresses from the Philippines.

***Called Brewer to arrange pickup of another gel-pen. 

125pm: ON THE TREADMILL...5 MILES at 3.4 pace and finished ANTHONY CUMIA on JOE ROGAN and then part of a SARAH SILVERMAN podcast.

***Water is coming up from the center seam. Should I call Acculevel? 2pm. I called Adam and I told him the situation and that I'd give Acculevel a call. I also asked if we could re-dig with Helitech. Yes. Acculevel called back, but I didn't hear it and Jim left a message to send pictures. I sent 3 pics via text and I don't know if they got it. They did and Mike will call back. Nada. 

250pm. Drove to Brewer to pick up the gel pen and drop off the Netflix disc. As I walked out the door I grabbed the ear buds and thought Planet Fitness might be an anxiety release. 

315pm. PLANET FITNESS : 45"CROSS. 30"TREADMILL. 30"CROSS- One Hour 45" Total.

***I was reading in the living room and I got a text from Janny saying that Anne died at 2pm. this afternoon. They were prepping her for a permanent feeding tube, but the doctor realized she was too weak for the procedure. She died a half hour later.

7pm: In the tub with TEVIS and listening to MILES DAVIS, 'Zooma' ~ JOHN PAUL JONES. 

***Although there is not an excessive amount of water downstairs, tonight I'll be upstairs because more rain is still in the forecast.

I watched 'MURDER TO MERCY: The Cyntoia Brown Story' (Netflix). She was a prostitute and convicted of murder at sixteen, yet there's more to her story than meets the eye. She was soliciting for sex and a man picked her up and took her to his home. She admits to killing him and her defense was that she was afraid for her life, but why did she take his money and his truck? She got a judicial review because she suffered from 'Fetal Alcohol Syndrome' and because 'prostitute' is no longer a legal term. Hookers are now 'victims of sex trafficking'. I don't think there is a crime that you could commit at sixteen that would warrant a life sentence without the possibility of parole. People do change for the better in prison, and Cyntoia seems like one of them.

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
