Out with Doggo, was pleased to encounter the unhoused man from yesterday and see that he had, indeed, been the one to pick up the recycling; it was tied onto his cart. Now off to the elementary school to do some trash pickup around the playground edges and maybe see my beautiful, beloved babies.

My first ballgame was the brewers against the White Sox; it was a trip to Milwaukee organized for us sailors from Great Lakes. The giveaway was a seat cushion. Don’t remember who won. I’ve thus got a soft spot in my heart for the Brewers.

Damn! THIS is the way all these assholes should get smacked. Full disclosure: I’ve lived in Chicago, around Chicago; have family in Chicago; and LOVE Chicago. Shit, I’m waiting for a photographic print right now ordered from a Chicago photographer of the city of Chicago. Don’t fuck with our mayor.

I asked the Resident Retiree to get me Costco’s Calcium pills on his last run. For reasons known only to him, instead of the usual horse pills, he brought home a two-pack of Calcium gummies. I just had my first one; it was vile. There is no way I’ll have a second one.

I was over at the halfplex this morning so DaughterThree’s uncle could pick up some things of his from the backyard. After that, I gathered all the recycling that had been left behind, got it properly bagged, and set it out on the lawn. Coming back home, passed an unhoused fellow with his dog 1/

Mom’s house is formally listed for sale. It looks so beautiful, all updated and painted and with the original oak floors uncovered and refinished. Mom would hardly recognize it. I wonder how long it’ll take to sell? I have no idea and no experience.

Today is the terror attack on Israel Oct-7-2023, Hamas killed 1.200 people while filming the murderers themselves, So this day is to remember and Honor the victims of this massacre and support the Jewish people across the world. It's absolutely evil these group will be protesting the victims😔

Got all the puzzles this morning and have had the most blessed of things, the first sip of coffee. Taking the littles to school as their mommy is taking their big brother to an eval at the UCDavis MIND Institute (we are very happy about this). Wishing all my Jewish friends peace and safety today.

Book people who know these things, tell my why tf the publisher didn’t make book eight the same size as books one through seven? DON’T THEY KNOW HOW THIS WILL MAKE ME NUTS? p.s. Yes, the fourth of the eight books, “Something Rotten,” isn’t in the lineup—it’s next to my chair as I’m reading it.

Shown is a small section of bookcase showing seven books by Jasper Fforde (with a Snoopy piggybank—Snoopy seated, chin on his hands, wearing a blue shirt—as a bookend).

The first six books, “The Eyre Affair,” “Lost in a Good Book,” “The Well of Lost Plots,” “Thursday Next,” “One of Our Thursdays Is Missing,” “The Woman Who Died a Lot,” are all of a uniform size, slightly smaller than a standard hardback. The last book, “Dark Reading Matter,” is bigger than the others by half and inch to an inch in height and depth, the size of a standard hardback.

WHY? WHY?? WHY???

What do you think "From the River to the Sea" means? Hamas knows what it means. In 2021, 2 yrs before the Gaza war, Hamas had a conference called "Promise of the Hereafter" which outlines their plans for Jews after its "Liberation. They plan to kill, try and enslave Jews, just like the Nazi.

The little boys are here overnight and I set up one of the air mattresses in my room. GrandsonFour chose it so no one would roll over on his sore thumb; GrandsonFive is in with me. He’s so cuddly. I love the way he pulls my arm around himself. Won’t be too long before he’s on an air mattress, too.

Something happened regarding someone I love—who is happily just fine because their mother drilled safety first—and I’m so pissed. Wrote a post here twice and saved the draft the second time because I might just post it. BUT JFC SOME PEOPLE DO NOT DESERVE GOOD TEACHERS FOR THEIR DAMNED KIDS.

If you’ve been paying attention, it appears that Trump has had at least one stroke. Possibly a few. And the bulges and strange posture we have been seeing are because he’s wearing an exoskeleton.

Taught GrandsonFour to play Aggravation this morning. He won both games and was quite pleased with his evident natural ability. I learned to play it as a caregiver to an elderly woman with dementia. She had forgotten so many things but not how to play this game, and she loved it. 1/

I just had the most charming encounter this morning. Doggo and I were out for our trash pickup, on our way back to the house as my bag was full. A young man approached me, big, Latino, tattoos up his neck and wearing a work shirt. He said he’d seen me out picking up trash and asked 1/

GrandsonFour is staying with the Resident Retiree and me today; his chain-chewed thumb is too ugly to allow in a playground full of dirt. The RR thinks we are silly, but he doesn’t understand the risks of these boys and dirt. GS4 is being very dramatic about his wound. How dramatic, you ask? 1/

Susan Brown @sactowngrandma.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

DaughterThree has an overnight field trip starting this morning, so we have Grandsons Four and Five until tomorrow evening. GS4 last night somehow got his thumb caught in his bike chain, bad enough that D2 took him to Urgent Care. It’s truly gnarly, so I’m keeping him home; GS5 will go to school.

Well, usually opening the front and back doors to get a welcome breeze is one of my favorite things in the pre-dawn hours, but apparently a skunk bought the farm last night. Somewhere nearby. Doors closed again. Here’s hoping Doggo farts a few times to freshen the air.

Susan Brown @sactowngrandma.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

On the plus side, years ago Mom gave DaughterThree a framed print she had hanging in her home because D3 liked it. D3 left it behind, so I claimed it; I’ll hang it up tomorrow.

It took us (Javier and me) almost four hours to clear the halfplex (80% him, 20% me). It’s now locked up tight. I’m exhausted. Time for a nap before anything else. The Resident Retiree is under the happy illusion that we can sell it quickly as a fixer-upper. We can’t. It’s fucking trashed. 1/

Javier and I have been at it for two hours. I’m off to get us lunch, then back at it. What a mess. In the backyard, two transmission, two barbecues (one gas, one charcoal), a walker, three scooters, two lawnmowers, a broken wheelchair, etc..

Susan Brown @sactowngrandma.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It looks like DaughterThree has all her things out of the halfplex, so I’ll be hiring a couple of guys to clear out the garbage all over the floor and get it swept out and ready for actual cleaning. Waiting to hear back from our cleaning ladies if they have friends who might be interested; 1/

I remember, as a kid, needing actual jackets this time of year, and wearing longjohns u set out Halloween costumes.

Shown is a screen shot of a weather app, showing Sacramento (California) at 8:23pm having a current temp of 85°.

The coming week’s temperatures are 95°, 99°, 99°, 98°, 97°, and 94°.

Saturday a week from today it finally drops to 84°, with a high of mid-seventies with likely rain the next day.

So very sleepy, even with that major nap earlier. Back to bed for the night. Goodnight, everyone; we’ve survived yet another day.

Finally finished “The Well of Lost Plots,” and have started “Something Rotten.” (Reading delayed by my cold.) This rereading is to refresh my memory before my pre-ordered copy of “Dark Reading Matter,” the eighth and final book in the Thursday Next series by Jasper FForde, shows up on Tuesday.

Got up for an hour and read some; now back to bed to recover. This is only my second cold (or any illness) since February, 2020; masking really does work.
