the idea is to minimize stress

               WEDNESDAY 7/3/19 9:52 PM--I guess if I wanna practice the keyboard I'll have to come to Dianne's, because taking it to Rockville feels like such a hassle...I've started packing, in a low-key way...I imagine I'll be going out Friday or Saturday night, because I can, not necessarily because I want to...
        10:07PM--even the dog doesn't like me, unless growling is a sign of affection...I have no idea what I've done to deserve THAT...
              THURSDAY 7/4/19 6:44AM--still have some packing to do, but first there's a trip to Unique on the schedule...I'm hoping to buy a book there, I think everything is 50% off today...There are two TVs at the April's if I remember correctly...the living room set-up seems more sophisticated to me and is therefore more delicate...the last time I lived there, I did something accidentally to cause it to stop working properly...I moved downstairs and that area became my living room...it's cooler down there temperature-wise; I think I napped down there, dunno if I slept there overnight--I doubt it...
            Being in Rockville puts me a little further away from my hangouts, such as the OTWC, Hershey's and the Grape Escape...but I'll be closer to Lahinch...and of course I can always come back to Dianne's during the day if I want/need to...I'm probably spoiled by having stuff so close by, be it grocery stores or fast food joints...it just might be a long ten days...I usually look forward to the house sitting thing, but this time? Not as much, I don't know why exactly...which is, IMO, a manifestation of my depression or whatever my problem is...
             9:05AM- Dianne and I arrived here at Unique 30 minutes ago… There were no shopping carts available… But there were baskets on wheels, so I used one of those; I bought two books a picture frame some NEW socks and another CD holder… That’s enough for me... all of the stuff I got cost $16... I bought the books mostly to have something to read at the April's house...
        11:00AM--gonna have Lunch soon, finish packing, leave for Rockville later (after an attempted nap?) stopping off at the Bank first to get some cash...not much, say $40 more or less...probably go to Giant first, then the April's...I think there will be some cash waiting for me when I get in the house...
   5PM- well I’m in Rockville,  and I’ve already fed the cat her 5 o’clock dinner... I am going to have MY dinner in about 45 minutes, at 6 o’clock…  I think I have the TV button is figured out;  I think there is an open mic tonight at the OTWC, but I’m not interested in going... as long as there is something on TV tonight, I’ll stay home-that goes for tomorrow night as well, I think... I will have to check Flakebook to see who is playing and where...
      7-PM-I can only come up with (at the most) two reasons to go out tonight… But I can come up with three reasons not to... my ears are ringing, my musical equipment is back in Gaithersburg, and I’m not a big fan of the guy hosting tonight’s open mic at the OTWC... so, unless I change my mind, I’m staying here in Rockville  this evening...
8PM- after I watch Star Trek the original series, I will be watching Star Trek the Motion Picture…It ends at 11:30...I’m going to try and hang in there until then...it’s not gonna be easy...  I think I will be able to get a fair amount of sleep tonight…one  problem with me being here by myself is that I’m eating because I’m bored…and I’m eating things that I don’t eat at home-“cheese doodads” and Peppermint Patties... not to mention, of course, Fudgesickles…
