thursday i did plasma, dropped off boxes to the soup kitchen, did a little cleaning of the yard and van, had a good set, posted it to youtube, then did two loads of laundry, bought gas,talked to tommy
so i felt like it was a productive day. oh put $50 on the internet bill.
i spent some time re-reading citizens united but did not mark it as billable time, which it could have been.
i need to go over my 43 item to do list and see what i'm forgetting. tomorrow is the annual st paddy's day tent at the golden ace.

i was going to say i didn't get much done today, but little things are starting to add up, so it might end up as a productive day.
i deposited my ssa check, got $80.75 off a plasma card, that took two trips and a phone call but will be easier next time. it is too cold and windy for the st paddy's tent party. i might stop by later
i emailed the hospital about my bill, and, i hope, cancelled my membership in some site that's been billing me monthly. my 40 item list is now 30 items.
i am uploading and deleting files to free up room on my hard drive in hopes it'll get my computer running faster. got an espresso at duncan donuts. facebooked my sister.
now i just have to take a CLE, email my client, revise a complaint, write a brief, and hit the gym, and i'll feel like today's been productive.
i think brian is leaving today. don't know yet if he is taking the kittens.

saturday i woke up at 4 am, went back to bed till noon, forgot to go to plasma, now it's dark.
stayed in bed all day mostly. watched a movie with bruce willis and billy bob thornton.
comedian steve hofstetter replied to a thread of mine on reddit.
it's my 12th cakeday on reddit today.
so basically taking a day off with no progress on the list.it's ok when that happens occasionally, as long as it's not every day.
sunday it happened again. did nothing. watched an adam carolla movie that hofstetter was in, road hard. i'm imagining writing the sequel, put away wet.

monday i applied for a forklift operator job, and bought 3 more shares of tesla. i updated my bids on an auction that closes tomorrow. oh! i need to go do plasma.
so i tried to go do plasma but their software was glitched so i couldn't, so i went shopping at walmart and goodwill and joined a gym so i could shower.
i took a box of paint and some dumpster pizza to my hobo friend, and found found 5 boxes of food.
i bought flower bulbs, mousetraps, a tie, tshirts, an air horn that was on sale, rare impulse buy.
my main goal for the night is unloading the van, and maybe make some notes for a memo.
i'll check reddit and call tommy and review my list. tomorrow there's the auction and a comedy show.

 

by arbitrary
3-21-23
i didn't hear the alarm so i missed the end of the auction and all my bids got sniped. it's fine. i had lunch at the strip club and reread a law review article.
then it took 3-4 hours at the plasma center, but it'll go quicker next time. +100.
the free comedy show cost me $20 between the parking ticket and a $4 soda. i bought gas,$15. found 4 boxes food.
tomorrow i need to get my brakes checked before work. maybe i can drop off the food, pay my electric bill, sort my buckets.
i watched some mel gibson movie where he's in jail in mexico and gets payback. half in spanish with no subtitles, just like work.
i ran into my friend jimmy medina who told me about the job i applied for. so i owe him a favor. i'm not sure i want the job, but it would be more money.

today was productive i think. i moved a bunch of my open tabs to bookmarks because my chromebook was getting overwhelmed. good lawyer zoom.
i guess a friend of mine is getting disbarred. i don't have the details, and am not authorized to say, so i'll leave it vague. took out the trash.
paid enough on the electric bill that it won't get shut off. used my plasma card. i'll do plasma again tomorrow. they are only having me work 1 day a week it seems.
i got 5 boxes of food, brought home buckets of water, spent $40 to join the gay gym. different guy at the front desk than the one who hassled me last time.
i did not get my brake fluid done, didn't call the plumber, didn't bill any hours. but a good day.
i cut myself while cleaning a hood vent, and the office was locked where the first aid kit is, so i tried not to bleed on the dishes too much.

thursday was challenging. i bought a microwave at an auction, the blue model that tommy wanted, and i need to remember to pick it up saturday somehow.
i went to donate plasma but the line was too long so i went to the post office and the bank. deposited $250 from the study and put $80 in my pocket. found my backdoor open and about $150 missing.
3 more mice today.
I took 10 boxes of food to the soup kitchen, but then my car died. Bad gas? $20 on gas conditioner and made it home but it's dead again.
So I took the bus to the plasma center and made my $100, but by then it was too late to go to my usual thursday night set.
Luckily I don't really have to be anywhere for a while.
maybe i should clean the house or write a brief.

friday i barely got out of bed at all. i caught up on season 4 of the marvelous mrs maisel. i tracked down a song they played, which turned out to be, or not, the rat pack singing from kiss me kate.
it was nice to take a day off on purpose. saturday is being a bit more productive. i picked up the microwave from the auction house, got it home on the bus.
paid the balance on the electric bill $113. took out the trash, made a list. i have a few minutes before it gets dark so i should unload/clean the van.
sunday i got called into work then walked home 4 miles in the rain.
monday i didn't fix the van but sent emails and a phone call or two. lawyers and banks and tommy.
my tesla jacket came. i rarely buy anything online but made an exception.

today i woke up early but didnt get out of bed till late.
it took 3 or 4 hours to make $90 doing plasma.
some guy kinda wandered into my house. he might be my new handyman,or might be a scammer, we'll see. jason kidd.
killed 3 more mice,but the mice are still winning. more later?

thursday i did plasma,$90, which hurt and took a long time, and i forgot to leave the house in time to do my usual 5 minutes of comedy.
friday i woke up late but made a list, called a bank, emailed a lawyer, spent over an hour cleaning my cars until my back hurt.
my new handyman stopped by and got the lights back on on the first floor. i sent tommy $50 by western union because i haven't figured out cashapp.
i repotted an aloe vera, cleaned the front yard some, dumpster dove oj, washed some dishes, took out the trash, swept the stairs.
i guess tomorrow i'll keep cleaning the yard and cars, plant some bulbs. one less mouse. fed the fish. so progress, baby steps.

saturday i found a new case. it's at the alaska supreme court. soi'm struggling with my writer's block, trying to start an amicus brief.
sunday i worked. monday i screened for part 2 of the study i did last month, which will happen next month. studies are 1 of my 14 side hustles.
yesterday i took the 38 bus to work,but when i rang to get off, it was broken so the driver didnt hear so it was 2 more stops before i could get off, so i was on the wrong side of the river. i have a
phobia about bridges over rivers, so i had to wait for the next bus, so i was late to work.
today the #8 bus broke down so i was an hour late to my screening appointment, which otherwise went fine. tomorrow i'll do plasma.
i am taking bids for someone to back up my 15 years of comics while the site is still up.

tuesday i did plasma, +90, bought two shares of tesla, worked on my alaska brief for about an hour, went to the post office, picked up trash in the yard,
and then i went back to bed. i'm tired all the time, physically and mentally, because i can't sleep. . my labs were good so i'm in the study as expected.
they reassessed my $8k shack at $130K which annoys me.
i can hear two different mice in the room. i kill a mouse a day but there are always more.
they recalculated my social security so i'll be getting $635 a month now. oil check was $235.
i have 10 days to do my taxes. i think i had roughed it out before. i need to get better at those now that i'm rich.
i am rich on paper now but still living my poverty lifestyle of washing dishes, doing plasma, dumpster diving etc.

thursday, plasma took 4 hours to make $90
tonight's set went ok. i have free comedy classes saturday now.
i have this hobo lady staying in my garage now. we are going to try to clean up the yard some. the zoning thugs are after me again.
i wrote up a notice of tort claims against the election board, tomorrow i want to get it printed, notarized, filed.
i'm on the bus headed home. they have wifi on the busses now, that's new.

by arbitrary
4-09-23
sunday was easter, so time and half, worked 6 hours, brought home buckets of water, good dumpster scores.
i'm coughing and have the runs and feel icky so i might be sick. i cut my hand the other day and it might be infected, but that wouldn't explain the cough. could be a cold..
the van is running but not reliable. i am putting off laundry, vegging out watching barry season 3.
monday and tuesday were bed rest and fluids. the algorithm brought me this movie city island
so i emailed patches, an old girlfriend from college who lives there on city island. i probably won't hear back.
i might get up and take a walk. tommy called. i'm just lying here coughing.

thursday, day 4 of being sick, i got out of bed. barbershop was closed. i did plasma, +90. PO box, +60. van broke down again. went for lunch at cero's, $10, walmart mousetraps $10. it was hot and my
plasma took 3 hours. back hurts. van started and i made it home, but i'll take the bus to the show tonight. other barber shop would have been $27 so i walked.
i did not make it to the gym for a shower or the laundromat.
threatening letter from the zoning thugs that i haven't opened yet. i have 2 days to file a tax extension.
so ups and downs today. i'll take a quick sponge bath and go wait for the bus. it turns out i already have a good draft of the motion for injunction so one less memo to write.

4-14-23
friday my plan was print and notarize and file a notice of tort claim with the county about my provisional ballots last year.
while i was there doing that they would not let me early vote because i don't show ID- they are supposed to offer me a provisional ballot - so i've written up a new notice of tort claim about it.
my new grounds crew put up a tent and cleared a lot of the yard and got one outlet going for water.
i washed some dishes, sorted trash, killed flies and mice, am heating water for a bath. i put out more mousetraps and cleaned the fish filter.
tomorrow's plan is plasma, then try again to vote, maybe make a video this time. i got better fromwhatever i was sick with earlier in the week.

saturday all i did was plasma $65. sunday i barely got out of bed. might have pruned the apple tree some more and planted flowers. and we got bj's stuff from his car.
monday i didn't get out of bed till after dark, but i did two loads of laundry, put it away, brought home potting soil.
tuesday i don't remember. wednesday i did my lawyer zoom, worked 6 hours, found 50 pounds of food. listened to tesla earnings report.

thursday i had a good set then went to see tommy in kokomo. nice visit. worked sunday and tuesday. didn't do much monday. the plasma center was closed so i drove around shopping and diving. got
flowers and orchids and a shrubbery.. tonight i found 3 bags of clothes, 15 nice pairs of underwear.
tomorrow i have a study at 11, i'll skip the lawyer zoom, have to tow the pt cruiser from greenwood, the one bj is giving me. then church.
i think the hobo lady who was living in my shed may have left, and her friend has left my plumbing only half repaired. which is better than nothing.

wednesday felt productive. i did the first visit of a new study +$50 did plasma +75 signed up for a credit card +200 got the pt cruiser towed $100.
my E key and touchpad are sticking, making this hard to type.
i took out the trash and cleaned the yard and found another bag of clothes at the same spot and went to church and dropped off 6 boxes of food. I used my plasma card to pay off $500 of my home depot
bill which might help my credit rating which went down recently. my sister and the law firm are working out more details of mom's estate.
i almost ran over the zoning thug while backing out of my driveway. didn't have time to stop and chat. hobo lady seems gone.
tomorrow: get title and plates, or wait? standup. clean yard, plant veggies. work on briefs and memos.

thursday i had a study visit, wasted time downtown dumpster diving, found a vegan coffee shop, worked on the yard. my hobo lady has indeed moved. i took a bath, took
bj with me to standup. i got to operate the booth and the red light that lets the comics known their 6 minutes is up. cost me $18 to get a free drink.
then we did laundry and i took 7 boxes of food to the soup kitchen.
alarm is set for 7:30 am so i can go get a biopsy for the study. it's already past midnight and i do not feel sleepy.
besides the 7 boxes i found a water heater, a mr coffee, a vaccum cleaner, a nice wooden tray, some misc., a pair of shoes for bj.
got no work done on the briefs.

 

by arbitrary
4-28-23
i had plans for today, but those changed when they did the biopsy this morning. two tooth-sized chunks out of my arm. went home and slept.
later i broke in my new converse and did about an hour of yardwork. good progress, still a lot to do.
i found the ladder and some bolt cutters, but it's too dark now to prune the apple tree some more.
i repotted the marigolds, filled a 90 gallon trash bin, put stuff into the storage tent, but i haven't unloaded the van or fixed the firepit.
american airlines is again denying my claim so i wrote another letter outlining some of my options to escalate things.
as usual, no work done on the memos or briefs. and i didnt sort the food boxes on the stairs or call tommy.

sunday i worked 6 hours. on the way to work on a hunch i checked the dumpsters by the canal where the rich foreign grad students live, and found a couple bags of groceries
including the sardines i just had for dinner. today after my medical study visit i checked it again and filled up the van with stuff,that i've been unloading and sorting.
plans for tomorrow: plasma, po box. if my new card came i'll do a $500 spend. maybe i'll stop by home depot and make another payment. bought gas $30.
i've been emailing with my sister. we found the kansas oil properties that i'll be getting, and someone has been paying the taxes on them, but we aren't sure who.
i got a postcard pretending to offer me $127K for my shack. it's a scam, and when i get around to it i will forward it to the prosecutor.
7 mice this week. today was cold and rainy. yesterday was hail. the hobo lady is back in my garage.

wednesday we had a good score dumpster diving. including a few roaches, so thursday i was too stoned to go do standup.
friday i got my stitches out and finished the study. then worked.
saturday, today, i did plasma, $80, then worked 8 hours, $120.
scrap yard was too busy so van is still full of scrap.

a friend of mine had his baby in the car on the way to the emergency room
i forgot to go mow the lawn at church, and i didnt get to go up tonight because they left my name off the list by accident so i left instead of making an issue of it.
i went to the post office and the bank and did laundry, and went with hobo lady to get food from pastor eddie smith senior, a friend of mine.
they named the boy Carson.
all i found dumpster diving today was a fan,a vacuum, a subwoofer, a case of coors, some bottles of oil and vinegar, some canned goods, 6 packages i took to the soup kitchen, and 150#s of oatmeal, and
the noodles i'm eating, pineapple juice, grapes kiwis flowers lettuce and more.
they said it was a mistake but i can keep the extra money.
i also went to aldi, walmart and dollar tree, buying stuff like mousetraps, sardines, coffee, cleaners, bug lights, flower bulbs. around $70.
the medical study paid $650 instead of the agreed $325, so i'm having that looked into. i emailed bmv legal to see if an injunction is still operative.

it's wednesday. plan is to unload the van, do my lawyer zoom, maybe mow the grass, put off working on my sign case.
tonight i could go to church or go do standup at a place in fountain square that has reopened. maybe i'll ride my bike.

i went to the strip club for lunch. it's quiet place where i can focus on my work because i dont have the wifi password. i got ready for my 3 pm meeting, which went very well and lasted an hour. i am
working on some memos in response to some filings he shared with me, a related case about east chicago judges. i am preparing my "lie lists", a chart of their false statements of fact and law.
the booth guy played me in with sinatra and the disco ball again;it'll be my trademark thing.
so he's not going to add me as a plaintiff but i think will let me bill hours. i need a letter to pin that down further. it was exciting to talk shop with a peer.
tonight's set went well. i should upload it to youtube and put a link below later.
i took my recycling downtown and got two boxes of stuff that i should take to the soup kitchen tomorrow. i put away the laundry. my stock streak ended on day 13.
there was a cat in the house yesterday. i should ask bj if he got a cat.

saturday i went to the last hour of the art fair, and a guy came by and worked on my van.
sunday i worked 7 hours, found a box of middle eastern groceries and a microwave, came home. killed two mice. fed the fish.
i had too much coffee and was grouchy at work. i gave some of my leftover pastry to the chipmunk that hangs out by the dumpster. i like rodents, as long as they aren't in my house.
the plan for monday is to meet up with omar and clean his bar, but he blows me off again i think i'll quit before i started.
i don't know if the supreme court will be announcing decisions, because of juneteenth.
i am planning to take myself off the schedule in july so i can go to the rainbow festival in new hampshire.

monday omar didn't show up, so i've quit the bar cleaning gig before i even started. i need to send him an email.
i didn't get much done all day, but my new friend showed up and for a few bucks fixed my van doors and worked on the burned garage.
tuesday went well. i billed 1 1/2 hours on the judge case, got a good start on a memo.
i worked 6 hours. too many people around my usual dumpsters. listened to sinatra at work; i've been on a sinatra kick lately.
i have this theory that sinatra might have had kennedy killed. other than that, i like him as an actor.
i cleaned up some of the worst of the food on the stairs, but more to do tomorrow. i took a shower and bought gas. routine stuff, unless i forget too many times.

today, wednesday, i had 3 lawyer meetings, skipped a 4th, went to church, came home.
i took out the trash and watered my plant and fed the fish. i'm heating water so i can wash dishes. i worked an hour on the memo.
i figured out that the new electric kettle is tripping the circuit breaker on the power cord, which turns off the fan, so i need to replug in everything so i'm not overloading a circuit.
the can of "100% coffee" i bought turned out to be mostly milk and sugar. it's tough being a vegan with bad eyesight, and is part of why i almost never buy anything
my stock that went up $2000 the past couple days went back down today. easy come easy go. i should do the dishes, put in another hour on the memo, clean the stairs, clean out the van, but i probably
won't get all 4 of those done. then make a better list. tommy called.

friday i didnt get much done. i put $500 in the bank, got some $2 bills, cleaned the trash bins, did 1 load of laundry, bought stuff at the hardware store.
didn't do plasma or a scrap run, which were on my list. on days after i have a drink, it's hard to get out of bed, which is why i rarely drink.
thursday i got to the plasma center too late to get a physical. went to the post office but was too late for the bank. took a drive in the country.
i got "fired" at the place i've been doing standup off and on for 5 years. difference of opinion with the new manager.
i haven't decided yet if i'll find a new venue or quit comedy for a while. frees up some time to work on my law practice.
saturday i didn't get much done. paid the electric bill $170. wrote two letters, sent one. filled out a class action form. made a phone call. found 2 boxes. my yard guy made progress, $20.

monday i barely got out of bed. did wash a load of dishes.
tuesday i bought some cabinets, $4, at an online auction. got a physical and did plasma, +100,
so i got to work an hour late but it was still an easy day. i'm at work, headed home shortly.
my vacation starts today. bj is probably coming along. he has a big tent. like the republicans.
so i need to clean out the van and pack a bunch of food. i'll bring home some buckets.

ok, i've hacked my way back into stripcreator on my new laptop, which is what i came here to the vegan coffeeshop to do.
it'll take more than 3 panels to catch up the past week or so. drove 2000 miles to new hampshire for vacation. not even tax deductable. mud camping with the rainbow nation hippies. wasn't quite as
much fun as usual. friday got back. po box, bank, 3 side hustle checks, paid for the trip.
saturday found a bag of suits and shirts. sunday found movies books games. monday found nothing.
i got $10 for not being able to do plasma today, retested my proieins, check back next week. good thing i had a steak for breakfast.
coffee shop just closed, headed home to no internet at home yet. maybe this synch fixed it

i forgot i was going to go watch the standup show tonight, the one i'm kicked out of. i got caught up writing a memo.
tuesday i was sick. wednesday i stayed in bed and and watched movies. internet connection wasn't good for my zoom meeting
today was more productive. stopped into work, got back on the schedule, will work sunday. nothing much at the po box. dollar store, walmart, got mousetraps and flea/ant powder. killed a mouse.
i've now spent about 5 hours drafting a memo on a case in arizona that i'm arguing got reversed two days later by the supreme court in 303 creative.
i have a bad habit of starting new memos before i finish the old ones. i have a few different balls in the air right now.
