07:00 Called Merry from Pico, saying, I should arrive DA in 30 minutes.  
She said, "Didn't you get my text, I'm taking Stitch to work because of the rain."
Well, no I was underground.

Sunshine came in and applied small hairbrush, paddle, cane, paddle, and tawse to my bottom...
Then took a few pictures.
I moved to BR1 and lay down..still naked... trying to convince Dick to come to attention. If so I would have told Sunshine, who was at the computer desk to 'have Merry' come into the bedroom.
No go.
So, we got dressed, and went to the car.
First, 'my bank' to withdraw my paycheck money.
Then the Von's center, with a WF inside, where she deposited it, while I got an iced coffee...then next door to a BR ..she wanted ice cream.

January 13, Wednesday, Diary 80 days

Watched Dexter  7: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Call from a UK number, a woman trying to 'book a car for tomorrow' Did not have an account, so I told her, she could book on the website.
Same woman called back, ten minutes later, and had the name of an actual account.  But she was not on the three-name authorized list. I told her...use the web site.
An affiliate driver doing a 4:30 job.  'We' usually call to check on them...make sure they're up , awake, heading for the job, just like we do our own drivers...  I tried this guy's number twice.... no answer, no voicemail... on the 3rd try, some guy answered, I said, Luis? and he said, 'Wrong number.'  So I had to do some research, and figured out, my smart-as-a-whip associate KW, had input the phone by one wrong digit.   I called the correct number, got the answer I wanted...he was on location for pickup.
0420... client called to confirm an 04:30 in suburban Seattle... a ride that I showed as cancelled, earlier in the day. He was the opposite of thrilled.

17:00 up, by my alarm.
 I still remember the last piece of the dream I was having:  driving a stretch limo AS a taxicab, in Pasadena,  and walking what seemed like three blocks, to the Hilton Hotel, to get a spot on the cab stand there,  and thinking...  'why am I walking, I'm still going to have to walk back and get the car and drive it here...?'

Getting ready, and Stitch was in the shower. Unusual, because he usually stays out of my way, when it's time for me to get up and ready.   
I packed some snacks to take with me (baby carrots, banana, microwaveable popcorn) and mixed up a jug of iced coffee...
By which time, he was out of the shower, and I got in.
And dried, and dressed,  and toilet, and beseeched Merry to get up and ready...
In car with Her and Stitch,  17:55

So, I played WWF with my partner, KW.
And inspected my Xmas bonus check.
Online, ordered a power supply cord for my laptop (Cocoa's idiot dog chewed up the original.  Just like she chewed up last year's Xmas present from Merry to me, a wristwatch ... which I replaced, for $11 with a different model, from Walmart, previous Saturday.)

Oct. 25th, Sunday Diary A.D. 1

writer's note: this is being composed one week after the events took place....

Once we realized that 'playing' was out of the question, we decided to head home .  
She drove...
Arriving, I limped inside, went into BR1.
And watched  "Blunt Talk" season finale, followed by "Guardians of the Galaxy" ..animated.  
    to sleep  02:45.
6:45 I woke up to pee, and thought I'd see what was in the kitchen...
The pain was so much, I passed out or fainted in the kitchen.
I think I was conscious enough to catch myself from falling hard, but I do remember opening my eyes, flat on my back in the kitchen, and thinking about how cool it was there, and if I had a pillow, I could just stay there.
I managed to get up and get back in the bedroom.
I told a half awake Merry what happened, and She said, "I thought I heard some kinda thump in there."

More sleep...
Then up noonish, She served coffee and toast...
My ankle had swallen to base ball size.
We decided to go to a hospital, to at least get it xrayed.
I let DB aka 'supervisor' know that, me coming to work today was ... well, not happening...
and off we went.
In general, the hospital was a case of hurry up and wait..
But, not like I/we had anything else  to do.
We were at the same hospital that Merry's #2 was in, so during one waiting period, I sent Her off to go visit him.
I had brought both Sundays' papers, so I was prepared, but I was having trouble staying awake.
Around 1530, with a disc of x-rays in hand, and a splint on my ankle, and supplied with a pair of crutches, I was discharged.
We stopped at "In and Out" on the way home, because I had a ten dollar gift card, and I got a protein style burger (no bun) and fries and I don't remember, some soda.
I declined to eat in the car, like Merry does, and I waited til She was done.
We went home...
I went into BR1 and ate and read the papers, and watched tv, football, I think..
Nap   1700 to 20000
Dinner was leftover stir fry.
And we watched  CSI Cyber starting at 23:30 ....

#1 asked once again to borrow my car to go to work and I said, yes, but be back by whatever time it was cuz I had an appointment, which I really didn't...and later sent him a text saying, my appointment cancelled so he could 'take his time'.
I watched TRMS from the 20th... and sleep 0900.
