Sun setting into a thick layer of fog


 

Frazzled nerves and an active imagination...

Frazzled nerves and an active imagination are a dangerous combination. I grew up in Los Angeles but was today-years-old (46) when I learned about The Battle of Los Angeles. This parallels my psychosis story very closely. Sad (and embarrassing) but true! Is my psychosis racist? It has been accused of this. Are my voices really from Venezuelan individuals who hex me or are they merely a product of frazzled nerves and an active imagination? My psychotic thoughts are something to control and keep in check, for sure.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

 "The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as the Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to a rumored attack on the continental United States by Imperial Japan and the subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late 24 February to early 25 February 1942, over Los Angeles, California.[2][3][4] The incident occurred less than three months after the U.S. entered World War II in response to the Imperial Japanese Navy's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and one day after the bombardment of Ellwood near Santa Barbara on 23 February. Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the purported attack a "false alarm". Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up to conceal an actual invasion by enemy airplanes.

When documenting the incident in 1949, the United States Coast Artillery Association identified a meteorological balloon sent aloft at 1:00 am as having "started all the shooting" and concluded that "once the firing started, imagination created all kinds of targets in the sky and everyone joined in".[5] In 1983, the U.S. Office of Air Force History attributed the event to a case of "war nerves" triggered by a lost weather balloon and exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining batteries."

Seasons Greetings from Maeve

Me: Where is Trey Sanders? I haven’t seen him since before Thanksgiving. Did he go back to Santa Cruz and celebrate with his family? Did he spend it with Maeve? 

Maeve: Yes, he did spend Thanksgiving with me and it was sheer bliss! I want him back, so be forewarned! I had a lovely Thanksgiving, with Trey Sanders and his family, who adore me. Be forewarned! Santa Cruz is lovely this time of year, not that you’d ever know it. I am in love with Trey Sanders, so be forewarned, and you are on my shit list! I hate you, so be forewarned, I am hexing you, in order to keep you away, from my man! It’s lovely to be loved, by a soul as sweet as, my husband, Trey Sanders. So, you  can just eat your heart out, because you will never know what that feels like! You will never steal my man! Never! So have a hollow holiday in Carlsbad…and hope you rot in hell! Be forewarned!

A love like this…

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/wonder-woman-star-lynda-carter-161726610.html


I have never loved someone as deeply as Linda Carter loved her husband. On the bright side, if you never love deeply, you avoid experiencing the torment of mourning a spouse, who was your world.

Satisfying

There’s nothing more
Satisfying than making
Those who thought you
Were beat look foolish

Gloria Bell


 Interesting, dark movie. If you love Julianne Moore, like I do, you will want to watch this. Actually it is a little scary (the movie) I have to admit. However Julianne Moore is lovely and  a great actress!

Gateway drugs


 I believe this…that alcohol and marijuana were gateway drugs for me. I also believe that people who offer you drugs aren’t your friends. They are just “trouble” and trying to drag you down into a drug hellhole with them.

Intelligence is sexy


 Carl Sagan’s ghost: “Told you so! You should have listened!”

How the apostles died



A Facebook friend just posted this and I am still in shock. I never learned much of this growing up Catholic. I am not really following this, but based on the cartoon, I will take Juan’s death over the rest of these brutal executions!


 

Thanks Yahoo

lol I often wonder why these stories appear in my newsfeed. What are you trying to say to me Yahoo?  This story speaks about motherhood, suburbia, vanity, bad decisions, and forgiveness. 

Divorce is always a loss for children. No matter how unhappy you are in your marriage, children always suffer in a divorce. It is a tough decision to make normally.

Empty space (a poem)

The stars at night seem lonely

But it is the empty space between

That makes them beautiful

I actually cooked a meal for myself today!




 

It was a yummy Keto meal from The Kellie Kitchen! As proud as I was to cook and eat it, I did hear a nagging voice in my head, which attempted to make fun of my efforts. I normally do not eat KETO and I am just starting to experiment with it.

Maeve: Are you in ketosis after eating one fattening meal? I think not!


This local teen went missing on Friday from the high school that my daughter is supposed to attend next year. I guess it is triggering my paranoia and voices. May she be found unharmed.

Maeve:  Speaking of going missing…you are open to going missing…with Trey Sanders. You are excited at the prospect of some married man, coming out of the woodwork, pursuing you! You are nuttier than a fruitcake, so be forewarned. What do you know about stalking? Nothing! You welcome stalkers, like the doormat that you are! Be forewarned! People are talking about how stupid you are, behind your back! Be forewarned! We don’t bother talking behind your back. We would rather say it right to your face. You’re an ignorant idiot and a home wrecker, so be forewarned!

Good times!


 My father is still going strong at 85 years old! Some woman in the bathroom at Joes Crab Shack coughed in my direction and said “Don’t worry I dont have Covid! I had Covid a month and a half ago so I’m good now!” I don’t know about that!

Mental health issues are not a joke

 I know that I share jokes here with mental health themes. I try to blow off steam that way. But I want to clarify that I am not a mental health therapist. I never claimed to be one. I have no training or education in that regard. I also see clearly that one should not call themselves a mental health therapist if they are not qualified to be one. Yes We need more mental health advocates but let’s be clear that a therapist is something else entirely. I am not trying to peddle advice here, perhaps even give a lesson in what not to do. I am just working hard every day to wade through this sea of schizoaffective disorder. So anyway, carry on!

What do I want for Christmas?

I just want to be around my children and try to make Christmas special for them. Christmas is more for the kids now that I am aged 46. I don’t expect too much in terms of presents. I exchanged gifts with a few of my female friends last year. I got nothing from my children or their father. It’s pretty sad actually. But I know what to expect this year…nothing!

Maeve: On the topic of Christmas presents, I am not receiving any gifts from my husband either. Mainly because you stole him from me this year. This turn of events, has put an end to my hopes and dreams of having children with Trey Sanders, so I am not receiving any gifts from my children either. It is only fair that you receive nothing for Christmas, after what you have been up to this year. 

Matteo: She’s on the naughty list for sure! 

Valentina: I hope you rot in hell for Christmas this year! Be forewarned!

Romanticizing (A poem)

Romanticising
Things you can’t have,
Taking for granted
The things you have.





 Maeve: What a poser selfie! Go to a real beach, bitch! Be forewarned!

More nature than I can handle




 Something apparently took out a baby rattlesnake while it was slithering across Cadencia Street.

Reflection of the day

 I was sitting eating brunch outdoors with a friend 

And I was struck by how non-outdoorsy I really am

I was chatting and enjoying my avocado toast

When my food started getting attacked by a yellow jacket 🐝 

Now I am deathly afraid of bees

Then the restaurants beggar birds 🦅 joined in

And they were fighting over our food 

As we grabbed our plates and switched tables 

One of the birds chased off the bugger yellow jacket that started the chaos, we shooed away the birds, and we finished our meal in relative peace

But I said to myself that this was entirely too much nature for me

I don’t think that I am cut out for camping or extensive outdoor exploration.  If I can’t even relax and eat on an outdoor patio, I would hate to think of what sort of outdoorsman I would make?!



I love smart men!


 I don’t know what they are talking about half the time but I love smart men. I probably don’t deserve to be with a super smart guy and we may be slightly incompatible but I will just roll with it!

Sometimes

I was watching Oprah many years ago 

When she told her audience not to marry “the powerful business man type”

Essentially she was telling her largely female audience

Not to marry a man for money or regardless of the character of that man

I married for financial security anyway 

Sometimes I reflect on how I should have listened to Oprah

Sometimes is the key word here


***I got completely different input from my mother who felt that being upwardly mobile was an important quality in a husband 

I obeyed my mother and married in the direction she approved of

Should I have listened to Oprah?

I wonder…

If I had married a poor man, who was unable to provide for me financially, I may have ended up on the streets, in the case of a divorce.

I still could end up on the streets 

Money comes and goes if you aren’t careful with it. (Much like love)


Matteo: You are getting roasted now…for being a gold digger! 

Maeve: You are trying to upgrade from a chemist on a downward career trajectory to my successful radiologist husband so be forewarned! You money hungry bitch! You admit it! You are only after his money! Wait until Trey Sanders hears about this. He would be a fool not to suspect you to be the gold digger that you are, so be forewarned!

Meta! lol


Throughout my time on Facebook I did turn into a crazy person stalker and was stalked by others too. Facebook is a crazy world which played a part in my undoing and my major psychotic episode starting around 2014.

The Carlsbad Village Street Fair


 Look at this picture. Carlsbad really is the land of a thousand Keiths! Look at this guy! Doppelgänger! I really have to go back to the Carlsbad Village Street Fair!

Ruthless

Destiny is at first gentle

In her hinting

But eventually ruthless

In her insistence for your path


I didn’t write this poem but I feel the same way about my path in life. Is my path about to change drastically? I feel that it definitely is drifting another direction. Maybe that is just what I am wishing and dreaming for, a change in direction.
