When I wake before the crack of dawn, I can feel you getting up with me despite the three hour time difference. It makes me happy that you've decided to sleep in and dream of me. ❤❤

What color to paint the bell peppers, green or red or a mixture of the two. It all depends on the colors in the background and the brightness of your light.

You learn a few things about yourself in these places, some you've just forgotten, others you don't want to remember. But you need to learn everything about yourself before you can move on with your life.

I love you, little sis. I would like to hear from you.

Sometimes I just need someone to help me keep the voice at bay.

With all my love, Dad; with all my love, your brother; with all my love, your uncle; with all my love, your lover forever + ever.

A good painting is likening looking into a mirror, one glass in this case, but the reflection in it change with time.

I'm starting to do another painting of my mom and dad dressed to the nines out clubbing in a photograph that dates 1942. WOW. So handsome they were together. Mama said she still loves him until the day she died 40 years later.

4-6-16: I've sure been feeling down the last few days, as if someone has died. I don't know why. Maybe one of my meds making me all emotional.

Things I value in a friends: someone I can talk to about anything, someone I can always depend on, and someone I can enjoy life with.

I went over to Central Health and got an ultrasound exam on my big vein running up my right leg and side. I like the telemed Doctor, she won't be around long. I don't think the doctors here are allowed to practice medicine. :)

Theree Stricker Initiative needs to get registered voters to sign their petition to change its exclude non-violent felonies. www.choosel.org. Remember, it costs $100,000 a year to keep one person.

Love Letter

My love, my heart, my Jeannie: sweet morning, my love. It is cold here in the cell this morning, and I can feel the warmth of your body against mine. I can almost feel your lips kissing my neck and ear. I miss cuddling with you, my sweet love. It rained all day yesterday, and it was the first day and a long time I was able to walk alone and daydream with you in a long time. I love thinking of your sweet smile as it almost always brings a smile to my face and happiness to my heart.

A couple of days ago on California Gold, they had the Cliff House. They were talking about the dangerous water above the shoreline under it. I can still remember the time we went there when you were at SFV. I would like to find a picture of the Cliff Hose so I could paint it. I would paint you + I there.

I love you and I miss you. I'm not getting nearly as much time with you as I need :) as I would like. ❤ I have to go to work in a few minutes. Thinking about quitting. :) I love you more every day. We are always together.
Forever + Ever

Thankless Job

I listen to headphones
while ignoring other workers
I threaten to damage
their lost team morales

Where work is shallow
the days are long

We have no shortage
of stupid ass workers
all of the bosses
are even more stupid

Must be quitting time
because I just quit
