Not Sure

I knew I missed Friday, but I'm not sure how I missed Thursday too...I guess things went alright because I am more prone to want to write when something stressful or negative happens. There's a fitness challenge at work so I put in five bucks and got my picture taken and weighed in at 218.2 pounds. Whoever wins the most gets the pot of gold at the end. I would like it to be me, so I went out and did some rare jogging and hit some tennis balls against the wall. Steve was willing to play with me but the tennis court gates were locked, which I had never seen happen before.

I polished the engine of the car Steve is donating to All Classical radio station for a tax discount and put the things we are going to take to the 'store' to sell in the van for transport. We were going to go there today but instead went to see Jumanji and then to Sushi Hana. The movie previews were looking very fuzzy so we went and got new glasses and got back just in time for it to start, but then it was messing up in the beginning and thankfully was fixed because it was 3-D and that was really annoying. Either someone went and complained as I was about to do, or they figured it out some other way. So afterward I thought I should ask for a coupon for popcorn or something but the manager gave us two free tickets instead and that was very excellent of him. We used the gift card that Deb neighbor gave us for Xmas, so that was really groovy too.

The credits said that the movie was based on amazing illustrator Chris Van Allsburg's book, but I think it should've said that it was based on the original Jumanji movie, with Robin Williams.

Now I'm watching Mudbound by Dee Rees based on the true story of two different families, one white, one black, in the Southern U.S. in the thirties and forties; I'm hoping Steve is watching it too, but he's on his phone playing or watching video games.

I made cupcakes and decorated them with green leaves and red roses and gifted them to our new neighbors (tried to gift them to other new neighbors but they didn't answer the door, so the next day I brought them to the other family who I knew were home.)

Anyway, our president is a racist asshole and people are trying to figure out how long he will last.
It's a three day weekend to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and for that I am very grateful. My back still hurts and I need to keep doing yoga and stretching and getting massages, which I have been very lax on. I really wanted to punch something when Steven wouldn't communicate clearly with me about a couple things I wanted to talk about, but it might also be that I am cranky because I exercised so much and have not had many cigarettes today and also did not sleep in this morning as much as I would have liked.

I miss the great young adult/kids' books I used to find out about and read because of the bookroom volunteer job I used to do. Peace.
