DELVING BETWEEN THE TOES OF LIFE....I AM TOEJAM


2025-04-02 - 5:08 p.m.

I've been working in the village where I live for over a year now. In the past fifteen years or so that I've lived here I have intentionally steered clear of working in the village. Because I want to have a work free zone. So I can go to the grocery store or corner store or just walk down the street without being recognized and having to do chit chat. I was real happy when I had my five mile walking route through the village and not one person said anything to me. I can't do that any longer. I walk down Main Street and I get stopped at least eight times for the chit chat. And going to the grocery or corner store, well, that's even worse. I'm a fucking celebrity apparently.

Chris' mom is in the hospital and I'm worried sick about it. I ate too much garlic spread yesterday and I'm blaming my stomach upset on that but really I know I'm just worried sick. She's one hell of a woman and I don't like her being down. So much energy in her and I know she must be going crazy. It sounds like everything went well and she will be released in the next few days. I just don't know what to do. Should I go visit? I don't feel well but I do think it's a garlic spread and stress upset not a bug. Also, I don't want to go to that hospital. It's where I was a year or so ago during one of the worst times of my life. I'm pretty sure I have PTSD from my stay there. My fault. For sure. But it was awful. Except for one nurse, I was rather abused by the rest.

Cats are fine. They are starting to get interested in the outdoors again after that long winter. But it's just been raining and gray and they saunter out but retreat right back in.
