My Dailies 2018
This is my daily journal like page where back in September of 2006 I decided to start writing down my thoughts
for every day in my web site here.
Also, there is a place called: “My Dirty Dailies”,.. for those days when I might use a little bad language. The button
to get in is sitting in this black area in the bottom right corner,.. and it requires a password to get in.
Here is a more convenient way to get over to my Video Archives page - My Videos ...

I have a friend that is diagnosed as bi-polar. She is also a non-stop alcoholic. She prefers to be on alcohol at all times.
I let her live with me for a little while. And she thought out loud a lot. While listening to her thoughts her thought
patterns did not seem all that different than mine. I have thought negative a lot too and have had thoughts that
bother me. Sometimes it can be like the more negative thinking you do the more all your thoughts can become
negative. Next thing you know everything your thinking has like a negative tone to it.
And one thing that works for me and seems like could work for anybody is to clear my mind of those thoughts. If I
wasn’t thinking those thoughts, they wouldn’t be bothering me. It’s like our minds have a track of thoughts. I think of
it in a circle that revolves around & around where more recent thoughts are on that circle and memories and other
thoughts are all floating near by. I can be thinking about one thing and then all of a sudden the track moves around
and I think “oh I got to get shampoo” gotta put that on my grocery list,.. Oh and some more of those wet wipes,..
then maybe I’ll go back to those thoughts I was thinking about and so on.
So what I do when it’s actually thoughts that are bothering me. In this way,.. if I wasn’t having those thoughts they
would not be bothering me... I concentrate on not thinking at all... then ofcourse things keep coming to mind anyway,
and I’ve got to think like,.. no,.. I’m not thinking right now and keep trying not to think about anything. And if I keep
it up I can clear my mind. For me it brings having control of my own mind.
Lately I’ve been thinking that I don’t even care to look at these magazine covers at the SuperMarket check out stand
anymore... It’s because what I read and see ends up on my track of thoughts somewhere in there and the next day
I’ll be thinking about something then all of a sudden,.. “Oh, Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston are getting back together”,..
and if I have anything to add or think about that I’ll be thinking about that for the next 5 minutes or so. Where in
thinking about that today I don’t really think anything of it. Think that’s their business. But if I didn’t see or read that
I wouldn’t have that on my track of thoughts either.
I don’t know,.. but bi-polar from what I seen of it from a friend looked like it mostly had to do with “thoughts”. The
way she thinks,.. what she thinks about,.. how her life is going and has been. And negativity.
Think I’ll add,.. Stop living in the past, live for today, live for the moment,.. look for positive things, things you like.
Today I worked in Redlands, California caulking a bead board ceiling,.. and I went to Vons & Home Depot,.. came
home and put away my things,.. cleaned my coffee cup & ice chest,.. read my emails,.. did my daily work notes &
accounting,.. payed some bills,.. and for the rest of my day I’m going to finish a load of laundry and check on my
Mother.

Thinking about my friend that is diagnosed as bi-polar again,... But it isn’t that, that appeared to be her problem...
Alcohol appeared to be her problem. Her preference to be F-ed up at all times.
I’ve thought that you really shouldn’t tell people like her that she has a problem called bi-polar. Because it gives her
that excuse for drinking. But then I’ve thought that it’s not necessarily all true because if she was never told that she
is bi-polar she would just come up with other excuses for it. Because she likes her alcohol. It’s one of her favorite
things in life.
And one thing that goes along with being told that she is bi-polar,... she thinks it helps her... Helps her cope with all
the negatives in her life. Negative thoughts. Negative things going on in her life. Things she don’t like. Things she’s
worried about.
One thing positive in my life lately is about this air conditioner that I just installed in my living room... It was an
unexpected positive because to me a window air conditioner can look out of place in a room. Kind of like an eye sore.
But with the way I installed it this time it actually turned out nice looking. And I like it... Never liked the old one.
Just a simple little positive,.. but it’s a good thing. Gives me something I like.
Today worked in Redlands California caulking and stripping paint off of siding,.. and I stopped by my bank,.. stopped
by a couple other jobs,.. came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my coffee cup & ice chest,.. read my emails,..
did my daily work notes & accounting,.. and for the rest of my day I think I’ll go to the grocery store,.. finish a load of
laundry and check on my Mother.

Here’s something about my life that Ive dwelled on, cussed about, thought about to the point where it’s bothering
me... “This Lifestyle that I live”... The part that is religious like,.. this job that I have...
It is not a job or lifestyle that I would of chose. Not how I would of chose to live my life... It just came to me,.. it
ended up being a big part of my life,.. I ended up being the one.
What eased my mind and softened that “negative” was realizing that this is my life and it’s all up to me how I choose
to live it... Nobody is forcing it on me,... it’s all up to me.
And I know there is probably people out there that would like to have this kind of job... In order to get this job I think
it has to happen at birth because you cannot push a problem like this one out of delicate beings without damaging
them.
But what you can do is,.. keep the problem from entering at birth... The problem enters as we all take our first
breath.
And I know that these kind of things that I write can be unbelievable.... And I’m with people there... I can’t believe
everything I hear either... No,.. I think the best way to learn things like this is to learn it like I did with real stuff from
God imself.
And ya know,.. I cancelled this HBO months ago,.. but my bill keeps showing that they are still charging me for it...
Don’t think I should be paying for it anymore. Don’t wanna call them and talk to a computer because the last time I
did it,.. they put me through a long process of checking my router and modem,.. when I know what the problem is,..
the tree trimmers dropped branches on my cable line and broke the cable. But I can’t tell the computer that,.. it’s not
programmed for that problem.
Not something I’m stressing about,.. just a little dislike in life.
Today I worked in Redlands California working on repairing a back deck,.. and I went to Lowe’s,.. stopped for gas,..
came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my coffee cup & ice chest,.. read my emails,.. did my daily work notes
& accounting,.. and for the rest of my day I might install an electricle outlet in my house,.. and check on my Mother.
That’s about it for my Monday.

I’ve been going to a Dentist for over a year now and their procedures and things they have been doing haven’t been
bad... Not like when I was a kid and the needles seemed as long as my arm. Actually, the negative part about going
to the Dentist has been all about money. Every time I turn around their coming up with thousands of dollars more
that they need to charge me.
I make and have 100s,.. 1,000s have always been hard to come by. I keep thinking that next thing ya know I’m going
to have a Dental bill that’s going to take me the rest of my life to pay off.
If I would of known about all those extra charges in the beginning, I would of opted for glue in teeth and would of
been done with the dentist by now.
Today I worked at a house in Redlands, California working on repairing a redwood deck,.. and I went to Lowe’s and
Vons,.. came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my coffee cup & ice chest,.. read my emails,.. did my daily
work notes & accounting,.. payed a bill,.. and for the rest of my day I’m going to go to the grocery store and check on
my Mother.
