My Day by Jesse Teshara

 Today

I took my night meds (lithium, depakote, haldol) and my morning med (amlodipine), I took my daily fish oil and multivitamin, I had breakfast of oatmeal orange juice and coffee, I gelled my hair, used underarm deodorant, brushed my teeth and my hair and used mouthwash,  I  got my bike helmet from Karen's, I brought my bike on Bart and picked up an application for Marea Alta in San Leandro for K and I, I had a quick fun chat with Julie Sam and Miette there, I ate two pastor tacos from los pericos, I did 300 pushups, I read some Economist, I read 1440 email newsletter, I cleaned the filter of my therapure air purifier, I bought a book on Amazon (Guide to getting it on, by Paul Joannides), I scheduled my Invega shot, and I talked to K while she was on break at work (Grocery Outlet, in Napa).   I uploaded photos to the blog.  I reviewed old texts on my phone.   I listened to music (whrb, wprb, wmbr).  I bought a chile relleno burrito from the nearby taco truck (tacos Sinaloa).  And I texted K and Mom and Greg, checked for a reply from Edgar Velazquez, landlord, who is presumably in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo (Acapulco, actually).  I opened snail mail, including from the DNC.  I got an email from my high school (SI, class of '89) about a 35th anniversary reunion on 11/2, $40, only classmates, in SF at the Italian Athletic Club in North Beach.  Took a quick nap and talked to K again.

Tomorrow, I have a social worker phone call in the morning, the strong need to help K find a place by the 20th, and a pile of paper to process, (books email economist trivia) to read, and food pantries to go to.  Plus the same hygiene, food, exercise, music, staying informed, and social stuff I did today.
