TUESDAY:
Coffee / half caffeine this a.m. because I’m having trouble giving up bean juice. Road bicycle 9 miles, perfect weather, and was looking forward to lunch. Washed bicycle gave her some oil, was ready for lunch when the neighbor thing happened. Missed lunch. Had dinner, bowl of beans and rice. 580 calories for the day…

Finished my bike ride, but when I got home the crack-heads (TM, Copyright) had their large breed bulldog (Un-nuetered of course) trying to attack the elderly neighbors small dog and run my cats in my yard. (Some of you will recall earlier stories about people who kept setting fires in the state park – yeah, same idiots, they gotta burn their crack manufacturing residue… They have a un-nuetered dog collection that is a mix of large breeds from German Shepard to Pitties). Anyway after the guy threatened me, I just lost it. Absolutely freakin’ lost it. He’s like 20 years younger than me and a dude, with a big old dog, people with him, and he’s going to threaten me? Oh no, you are not going to threaten Grandma. You’re going to back up, rethink your miserable life.

(The guy tried to threaten me, I stopped him and told him, “You don’t get to say shit to me motherfucker.” By then they’re in the street, I was up by my door. — Really though it was stupid. I should have grabbed my phone, filmed it, took photos and called 911. Get the police out. Lesson learned. Next time, anytime that’s my go – to, take a photo, call the popo.)

The crackheads after their dog went berserker mode (in my yard) and tried to crash through a fence to get a small dog, I cussed them out, so they went and started two smoldering acrid fires. Even taking the photos made my lungs hurt, throat hurt, it was bad. I called the Fire Department.

At first I thought that dog bloody well had hold of my cat. I had enough adrenaline I could have lifted a car, and then they want to start shit with me, I really thought that could have been a child, a cat, a dog, anyone really. Other neighbors were out there too like, why in the hell is it off it’s leash?

In one of the RV’s not pictures someone is trying to live — actually I think it has competition. Also apparently maybe someone in the woods.

I haven’t been turning them in for stuff, and that’s my mistake because I have missed an important paper trail. I guess I had this attitude that if I left them alone it would resolve itself eventually. Anyway, was a nervous wreck all week, and they have even more people over and doubled down as it were, *sigh*

Thursday

My kids took me to go see Halloween Town while J was home to watch the house. It was a lot of fun, we walked all over. I had an ankle brace on and this time I made it. It hurt a lot on the ride home but I didn’t end up icing it and I could walk the next day.

We went to Trojan Park, I picked up fall leaves

Later that night though Wakako got out, and believe me, I’m doing my best to keep my kitties inside. Then a big dog appears and they have it by the harness, I grab my ball bat because I don’t know where Wakako is, and I think she’s in the tree the dog is excited under (nope, just a raccoon up there). There was a couple with the dog and they said they’re volunteers working on the property, but — something was off on that.

Anyway, it gave me a bad taste in my mouth after such a lovely day with the kids.

I get a weird ‘supernatural’ vibe from over there. My hackles go up and it’s weird, it’s like there is something other that comes in with or on the people there. They have their own cloud of high strangeness over there and I can’t explain that at all, and I’ve never heard of such a thing…anyway…

Jason and I left early yesterday so we could be back and not leave the house unattended. We went to a cycle shop and they had one carbon fiber road bike in my size. She’s a beauty. She flies down the road, so fast. I’m a little awkward with the drop bars. I’ve named her Onyx.

FRIDAY: ONYX, CARBON ROAD BIKE 51CM
Sun coming up as we leave the house.

Finally we saw some signs for fence companies and we’re going to put in fence God willing. A big fence. I went to the big city two days in a row and didn’t get sick. My foot held up both days. I’m doing better.
