Hello everyone, can you believe this rabbit? I can't believe it. Wow I made it on ai so easily and it is one of the best memes yet.  I just love it and will send it around maybe on Valentine's Day. But I don't think I can wait that long. So possibly I will send it around very soon.

Today I sent in an application to run an ad in a magazine for an organization I am in. Hopefully it works out, but I think the idea is that advertising with them could be an option another time for slightly more money without being part of the promotion. I mean I think they thought of it to raise money.  But it is a good opportunity so I sent something in.  But I wish I had remembered the border.

Right now it is 1 am. I am making coffee. I just feel like staying up late even though I am not working on any projects. Tomorrow I have inspection. Linda came and saw my apartment in its pre-inspected state so she could appreciate any real progress I make.  So I am not feeling that tortured.

I did my laundry and it went well.  There is another laundry buddy who tries to do his laundry on Wednesday night and I wonder if I should try to do it on Tuesday instead. We haven't been in each other's way but it is a little more stressful when there is someone else using the machines. But I was considerate like Sassy and only used one dryer.

I wonder if I can do a few chores tonight.  Sweep the floor, do the dishes, take out the trash. That would be great if I could do that but I don't know if I can. 

People have been setting some serious fires here and I am worried that they are going to burn down the building. I wonder if I should put my social security card in my wallet. So I would have most forms of ID. That is always what I try to save out of the building.

Do people want me to pray for them? My prayer life came back on New Years after a rough holidays with a lot of walls and blocks and not being able to pray at all sometimes. I think a lot of other people are praying. I will do what I can later. Does anyone have any opinions about my sleep schedule?

Ravneet was sick this week and I am a little bit worried about her and don't know what to do.

But I also need to make sure I don't get sick at the conference. It is too bad I did not get vaccinated this year but I have been vaccinated a lot before.

I got some heartwarming likes from my friends Rimas and Ralph on a post that I shared because I genuinely thought it was funny. I mean I do not know if there is something I am missing, but to me it was a funny post.  It was about the number 666 and 25.8 being the root of all evil.  I think that is funny. It is a math joke.

Well, that is all for now. I hope the next books get here soon so I can mail some out. They might go fast and if the do then you know what, it means order some more.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is 9:30 on Tuesday night, Jan 13. On the 17, I go to the children's book conference. Just now I went to two zoom meetings. I love zoom meetings and had a good time. But I was kind of wordy with something I said but I think it is okay.

I also made some memes today and got two usables out of it. I feel like sending them around but will try to wait a few days. It kind of messed with me to get a lot that weren't usable.  I also got charged for a regular membership to chat gpt and I don't remember signing up for it.  But maybe I did. 

Today I went to the grocery store and did okay but was sad to see that my OTC card does not pay for meat anymore. I will check the receipt again but I think that I have to pay for it myself now. That is okay and I still got a good deal on what I bought and got a lot of yummy snacks. It is actually hard to believe, how many snacks I got.

For regular food, I got the ingredients for hash brown casserole. I need to get some canned goods. I wonder if I should go back tomorrow and do that.  Like maybe why not do that while it is fresh in my mind and easy.  Hmm, maybe I will but let's also remember that the conference is coming up. So I might need to conserve strength.

I bought five packs of little debbie snacks today. I think the store ordered the star crunch just because of me.  That is so sweet, isn't it.  It is because they are in the conspiracy. At the grocery store, a little kid was scared of me and pointed at me to his mom.

Pretty funny. It was a nice family that did not torture me.  I would like to know if any of my books have sold.  I hope they have and I hope Ravneet made about five thousand dollars this year. But I think it might be zeroes.

Tomorrow I might need to walk to the post office in case there are any packages that have been waiting for me. I don't want the post office people to be mad at me, but I think that some of them might be unpleasable, so I won't worry about it too much.

I just ate some fruit loops. What else should I eat. Maybe another bowl of fruit loops. Maybe a pack of chicken with barbecue sauce. That is what I will do. Cook some chicken. But I put it all in the freezer. So maybe I will thaw it and cook chicken tomorrow.

Well, that is all everyone.  I like my group therapy program. Possibly tomorrow I will call and see if they want to add a trauma group.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. Today is Tuesday, Jan 13. It is 3:50 pm.  I woke up at 10 am today from a phone call and drank coffee but later took a nap until about 1:30. Then I walked to the grocery store at about 2 pm. It was an okay trip but I rushed to put everything in the cart and did not pack it well. That affected my attitude some but mostly it was a good trip.  I noticed that my OTC insurance card is not covering meat anymore.  However, it still covers coffee which helps a lot.

At the store I bought some little debbie snack cakes and it was a good purchase. It helps me feel better to buy treats in the groceries. I think everyone needs to do that.

I think later I will drink cherry coke and eat salted peanuts. Let's see if my digestion is okay.  Because those other peanuts endued up being questionable.

I will put the coke in a mug. I think I will do that in a few minutes. Then I need to put up the groceries because they are still in the cart. I got some hash browns for hash brown casserole.

I think I should have gotten more canned beans etc but it is okay. I did get tomato sauce that I can use in chili or for pasta.

How do you gice think I did? I think I am right on track. I think for my next trip I will stock up on canned goods like that other time.

Do people miss me on facebook? I do not have any ads running.  It was a busy december and I think people saw it favorably.  But I am trying to save money now. I do not know if I will succeed at that but even one skip can save a lot.

I guess I need to start mailing the books soon but I was going to wait until the other main books got here.

This afternoon I had a dream that my novel got appreciated.  I am thinking about restarting the Poncheesy novel and seeing if I can fix it after all. It will just take work and dedication. Maybe that is what I will work on later tonight.

Gice what do you think about group therapy? I like it but I need to stay on topic. Will I do a trauma group? Maybe. I might but they are probably skipping a week also. Well skipping a week saves money.  So maybe that will help me get back to the right total.

Anyway do you gice have any thoughts?  Hmm I do not know. I thought of something else I need to tell mom for her own sake. I will try to talk to her soon about it. It has to do with stocks.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is Monday, Jan 12 at 3 pm. I took one walk today to Walgreens and bought some cokes. I wish I had also bought some water, but I just couldn't. I washed the dishes a while ago and cooked some eggs.  Before that I ate corn chex and yogurt.  So that is my main meal so far and I think it was a good choice. Later, I will probably make some cheesy rice.

I was going to go to the grocery store, but I think I am going tomorrow.  

A lot of people viewed my blog yesterday, and I really appreciate it. I hope it is real people and not bots, and I hope you all learn a lot of interesting things.

Last night I felt the bad spiritual feeling and had an online appointment with New York Presbyterian.  They let me talk to a nice DO person, which is a kind of doctor that specializes in spiritual things as well as medical.  So that is neat.  That was so thoughtful and the person was so nice and comforting. But you could also tell she felt it was not a game and was willing to also say that it was psychiatric if she had to and send me to the hospital. 

Possibly this will be a set back with reducing medicine but I think I am okay. I just need to be aware of the effects at night.  I have been able to take the medicine earlier now for three days and wake up at about noon.  So within just about a week or so I bet I could be doing an 11-8 sleep schedule again.

Hmm I might need to because of the conference I am going to.  Wow I am going to be tired, I hope I can get there and be okay.

I think I could go ahead and prep Holly and Josh's present but for some reason I was waiting until that next shipment gets here.  I just think that their kids are getting the more floopydoos and horizon cow and maybe not the creature comfort so maybe I should get that mailed before I have OCD about it.

Tonight I have group therapy and I hope it goes well. I think it is good material that my weekend was rough.  It is weird, though, because the individual components of my weekend were all fine.

Well, have a good day, everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. Thanks for reading that other recent post. I felt like I worked out a lot of stuff in my mind when I wrote it. 

Tonight I went and got some cokes from a local store. They were nice enough to me.  Not overly nice, but nice enough. I did not go get pizza from the other place, or a hamburger from Burger King. I just came home. But I did get a sandwich from that other place and I hope it is good even though I suspect they used the wrong cheese.

It will be okay, though. It is kind of a treat, and for lunch I ate oatmeal. I haven't had a second coffee today, either.

I have three class sets of thin books ready to send along if I find the right people for it.  I might have to wait until there is more acceptance, but I think there are several people who would like these boxes that I compiled.  I feel secure with both the first thin book series and the second thin books series, but I am holding back on the whole third series. I guess I am not ready and might need to reserve those for a mental health scene. I myself might enjoy reading through them sometime.

Ok, what else. The Play Day art book got here and it is okay. But I need to fix those rabbit pictures. I think I will definitely try to do that. The book took me a while to flip through. I actually think very young children would like having this book that looks so much like their parents' books, but is all color pictures of cute things. I think that worked out well. I just wonder when the books will reach people.

I think I am still all set for group therapy. I might still be able to do two groups, but just wait a couple of weeks for the second one if they let me. I think that will be okay.

Well, that is all, I hope everyone has a good evening.


Friday, January 9, 2026

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. Today is Jan 9. I just walked to the post office. My order that was scheduled for today was not there, but a few books had arrived from another order. I am prepping to be able to continue giving away books this year. I felt that I did not invest enough into the book business last year, though maybe some of it was self control.

When I went to Walgreens for some milk, I got some chocolates from a cashier who has now sold me 3 or 4 boxes of chocolates. She is nice and I do not know if she notices how much chocolate that is for one person.  I am reminded of a highlight of the christmas season which was getting the whitman's chocolate and feeling like it was a lot of empty packaging but then seeing that there was another whole layer of chocolates.  So that was fun.  I mean I can translate that into a blessing to pray for people.

What else from today: I saw a cute dog and I was thinking about how I would forgive those people if the dog attacked me.  But I can't stand it that the house repair people are going too slow for my mom.  And that is why I am going to be on a Judgement Day rewards committee.  Because I am aware of how some kinds of absolute martyrdom are tolerable to people while every day slights are almost unforgivable offenses.  Though I will say that sometimes when there are excessive amounts of those slights, it is a sign of deliberate bullying and mistreatment.

Hmm I wonder what would happen if I called APS about the housing repair people. I bet they would not expect that. They would expect a better business bureau report but then get busted for elder abuse.  

Well that is on the table now.  I will try to write a good essay about it and put their name in it for all posterity. And I just now discovered the angle that makes it interesting. Wow, God does take care of us.

Ok I just gave Bella a sprite. Possibly she needed another one for Maureen.

Have a good day everyone.

Tuesday, January 6, 2026

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is 2 am on Wednesday. Tuesday was a good and full day. I felt blessed and got a lot done. I am running ads on facebook and feel some spiritual feelings from it.  Most of it is good but the video feelings are a challenge.  It requires constant prayer I think and I don't know if I can maintain that for three days. 

I think I will be okay though.  I am waiting to find out if my new threefer book will be approved. It is a cute book and I feel happy about it.  They might think something is amiss because I did not try to publish the third book by itself, but for one thing, my internet got used up and is slow now, and for another thing, I want to improve some of the images.  So I hope they like it.  I kind of want to call customer service and ask them to look at it and tell me if they like it.

I ate some macaroni and cheese and I hope it does not aggravate my gallbladder. My treadmill goals aren't happening but I have taken a walk every day for about a month, maybe even a month and a half.

So okay. I talked to Ravneet a little bit today and it was fun. I hope she is doing okay. Her life seems hard to me but I really don't know what she does every single day.

I think I should take my medicine soon. I think I have been taking it at about 2 am very consistently for about a month. I think that is okay although it would be better if I took it at 11.  This makes me more of an internet junkie, too. But my activities are positive, everyone, so no need to suspect me of certain things.

Anyway I felt like writing this post but didn't really have much to say. But I think my other recent posts were somewhat interesting.

Well, that is all for now.  Have a great day everyone.
