sometimes I forget

 

    SATURDAY 10/16/21 8:15AM--yesterday I had a good space in the fridge for my soda...Dianne took it away, *I* dunno why...and then I remembered--90% of the stuff in this house, and the house itself, is hers...I have little if any, say in what goes on here...I guess I keep forgetting we're divorced...
         In a little while we're going to visit her parents...the facility where they live is having a resident's rummage  sale...I think I can guarantee Dianne will buy stuff...I suspect the residents were not/are not from the working class, like a guy from Glen Burnie (me) is...I can't imagine seeing the kind of stuff I see at flea markets at Riderwood, but ya never know...
   The trip to Riderwood is off; Dianne's Mom doesn't feel good, at all...and her sister fell down for some reason and "smashed up her face"...my shoulder  still hurts too BTW...I don't think the goop is working...
12:17 PM – we are at Unique and I’m hating it… they’ve downsized the non-fiction section of the book department… I don’t know why… and they’ve moved all the chairs that were upfront and put them somewhere else – I don’t know where… Dianne’s just barely started shopping;
4:45PM-we left Unique and went to iHOP, came home...I didn't get an afternoon nap...I dunno why; I THOUGHT I wanted/needed one...
10:35PM--I have discovered that my car's brakes are not functioning properly...I THINK it was because the road was wet, but in any case, I slid right thru an intersection...I am especially grateful to the Universe that I was alone--no other cars in it but mine...a very scary moment, I gotta say...it could be a total lack of brake fluid--I try to keep an eye on the oil, but haven't thought about brake fluid until today...
11:26PM--I shouldn't have mentioned my automotive problem to the "roomie"--*I* am perfectly happy to spend the money to buy a bottle of brake fluid and try it first...IF the fluid leaks out, THEN I'll assume the problem is more serious than a lack of fluid...how can I buy the fluid and fill the brake fluid [container] without Dianne finding out? What I COULD do is check the level when she goes to CVS tomorrow and buy the fluid from the gas staion across the street while she's at work on Monday...
SUNDAY 10/17/21 2:12PM--the minute the roomie left to go "have some fun", I checked the level, it looked to be bone dry to me, so I went across the street and bought a bottle of brake fluid...it's the right type and it only cost about $3 bucks...judging from my admittedly brief test runs, I did the right thing and I'm 90% sure the problem is solved--for now...I'm not capable of doing the Snoopy Dance, but if I could, I certainly would...
4:31PM--I wasn't going to, but I told Dianne about the Brake Fluid Caper...Like me, she (I think) assumes that that was the problem...I sure hope we're right....
MONDAY 10/18/21 10:55AM--so far most of what I've been doing is laundry...I have to go ro CVS and Safeway--a good test drive for the car...
TUESDAY 10/19/21 8:38AM--hopefully today will get better, because it has begun rather badly...
11AM--Dianne just gave away the kitchen table and its' chairs...I'm gonna go see if I can find the library book I need to return by tomorrrow...found it, right where I thought it would be...thank you Universe...as for the rest of the day, who knows? Gail is doing her twice daily walk around the court where I live...I'm not quite up to chatting with her today...she just passed the house, I suspect she was looking for me...
