A day in the life
September 24, 2022 Saturday 9:40pm
Although I should have stayed home, cleaned and worked cases, the Ocean Goddess called and I had to answer.
I swam one half mile in Aquatic Park, at the behest of Ken, who rescued me the 2nd hypothermic shock incident that I had. For that, he said that I owe him a beer.
He said to eat oatmeal and to dink warm tea pre swim for fuel.
He also said to swim to the flag once, and then to get out of the water and see how you feel.
Hypothermia is insidious. Euphoria proceeds the crash.
Another man said to touch finger to thumb while swimming. If you can do that, you don’t have hypothermia. Hypothermia is called the claw.
Another Dolphin Club member said that my ‘Ken” episode (Second session of hypothermic shock) was posted on line as a warning on the Dolphin Club Website. My name was not mentioned.
Spent the day in part in 1988.  (Journal review)
I came out in the Modesto Gay Bars in June. A boyfriend from Mendecino was with me.
I had forgotten all that.
And, the circle Sparkler dance we did around John Hickman on his 31st and last birthday.
Naked bicyclists were just past Jefferson turnout near the Dolphine club as I returned to my car to get my swim suit today.
Aquatic Park. I Loved it!
Later, some of them were near the Twin Peaks Bar on the Castro with nothing on!
Four guys walking up Market Street to the Twin Peaks called it “the crystal coffin” which they said that the Peaks deserved.
End of entry
Note:
This entry is a “day in the life’ entry.
I’m a member of the Dolphin Club in San Fransisco. The Dolphin Club is located on Jefferson Street. It is an ocean swimming and rowing club.
Hypothermic shock occurs when , due to over exposure to cold water, your core body temperature drops below 95 degrees. Your hands can freeze in a claw position. Your heart slows and can stop. You can die. 
Aquatic Park is a small bay Across the street from Ghirardelli’s in San Francisco, Ca. There are a series of buoys across the bay. The last one has a flag. The Dolphin Club sits at the western end of the bay. A swim from the club beach to the flag and back is about one half mile.
John Hickman was a gay man that I met through Aids support Hand to Hand in Sacramento. John had Aids and eventually died of it. Most likely a group of we Hand to Hand volunteers did a circle dance around him with sparklers on his last birthday.
Before Aids, John had been an extremely good looking man. He was from Michigan.
The Twin Peaks is a bar at Market and Castro Streets in San Fransisco. It’s where I met my partner Jim in 1997. Older gay men tend to be the main clientele, thus the nick name “crystal coffin."
My Mendocino boyfriend was a little older than me and lived in Mendocino. I drove up there and stayed with him one time. He apparently came to see me in Modesto and we went out to the bars in 1988. I haven’t heard from him in decades.

Something something having more in common with my great-grandparents than my classmates something something
Just like. Holy shit I didn't realize how different my thought processes for literally everything I do is dictated by my physical state and how it isn't like this for my peers until I was with my great-grandparents and they actually understood and I was like Huh. That's weird I don't usually feel heard
Idk I'll probably go more in detail on TikTok, it's always easier to verbally ramble explanations but it was just. A moment when I realized that.

I deserve everything that happened to me.
I deserve it because I am worthless.
This is the only love I deserve. Weak. Pathetic. See the way he doesn’t care how hurt you are, but you are his world so you can not leave. You did exactly what he said - tell your people you’re ok, be outside waiting on me. You are now his:
Stop talking
Stop caring
Stop trying
Stop crying
Focus on the comfort that you will eventually not take up any space at all. You will be so small that every thing you do will not take any space. Your things will all fit in a small little box and nothing will change.
Start smiling more
Start being sexy more
Start putting him first more
Start being his perfect object of desire
I’ve found the ultimate form of self harm and I love it. I deserve it.

im a little bit tempted to watch the Elvis movies but there are. so many. and ive heard they are so. terrible. and he didn't fully enjoy making them, he just... had to do it... bc he felt like there wasn't much of an option... and worst of all they are all so painfully heterosexual and i'm sure none of the couples ever communicate with each other properly. so you just sit there ripping your hair out and shouting at the screen "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGG"
#but i want to get some inspiration... for my Driver/Officer K Greaser AUs...#the Elvis 2022 movie was so good even tho some things were incorrect#like. him breaking up with his first girlfriend Dixie when he became famous? that did NOT happen#Dixie broke up with HIM before he became famous because she wanted a husband who could work 9-5 and come home.#she didn't want to date somebody famous who was out doing gigs 24/7.#then when Elvis' mother passed away years later he called Dixie and she came to the funeral to support him#he wanted someone from his old life to comfort him. someone who knew him before he became a celeb.#FUNNER FACT the first time Elvis and Dixie were crushing on each other in school#Elvis was too shy to approach Dixie to ask her out so Dixie took matters into her own hands#standing in church and shouting to her friends loudly 'IM GOING TO THE SKATING RINK LATER!!!! BY MYSELF!!! CANT WAIT!!!'#'THE SKATING RINK!!! YOU KNOW THE ONE BY THE ICE CREAM SHOP DOWN THE ROAD!!! THAT SKATING RINK!!!'#'ILL BE THERE AT 4PM!!!!!!!!!' and elvis overheard and he was like oh shit#so sure enough Dixie shows up to the skating rink and Elvis already has his skates on#AND HE'S HUGGING THE WALL FOR DEAR LIFE. FIGHTING TO SURVIVE#and then she approached him and said uh hey do u wanna get outta here. and he was like GOD YES PLEASE#i think that story is so fucking cute#woof#oh here's another fun fact. when Dixie and Elvis were dating and Elvis was out on tours/gigs whatever#Elvis was the jealous one. Dixie did not care if women were gonna be all over him#Elvis was always asking her 'what boys are talking to you??? WHO'S LOOKING AT YOU. HM???'#and she's like 'bitch I am just going to school and church. you're the one surrounded by models' LMFAO

Remember… fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self expression and, above all, attitude. — Iris Apfel

A Golden Treasury for the Children of God
Tumblr media
by Carl Heinrich von Bogatzky (1690-1774)
Devotional for November 25th
The sword of the Lord and Gideon - Judges 7:20
For they are bread for us; their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not. - Numbers 14:9
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed, me fully, him will I bring into the land, whereunto he went - Numbers 14:24
Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee - Psalm 76:10
Take care, O my soul, that there may also be another, namely, a kingly spirit with thee, as there was with Joshua and Caleb; not to be discouraged on account of my weakness and great numbers of frailties and enemies, as if it was impossible to live only, and get the victory. Behold Christ, the true and great Joshua and Caleb, marches out before thee, to make war himself against thine enemies, and who can conquer him? He is unchangeable, his spirit now is as mighty as ever, and his sword as powerful, and sharper than a two-edged sword. Against thy various infirmities he offers also a variety of divine strength, and against each of thine enemies he holds forth to thee a particular sword in his word; and abiding in his word thou shalt surely conquer. Though the enemy should raise thine inward and outward calamities, to the highest degree, as so many strong wails, yet he must fall; one single word will strike him down.
Not all that tyrants think or say. With rage and lightning in their eyes, Nor hell shall fright my heart away, Should hell with all its legions rise.

September 24th: still going
It is now 9/25; morning poo had blood, but evening didn't!!

SOME MORE STITCHPNK X HUMAN!READER HCs!!!
TODAYS TOPIC: Various bits idk *If you have long hair, they've all totally climbed it at some point *If you have short hair, a few of them have totally gone out of their way to play with it. *You once showed them how to play various card games. One day when you came to visit them, they had found a lot of different types of cards laying around and where now trying to play some type of game with them. It was kinda funny to see 7 pull out five uno reverse cards in one game and somehow win *you once watched a nearly hour long argument unfold between 1 and 9. You had no idea what they where talking about or who won, but it was something *you where very useful in helping them move large objects and they appreciate your help *it became super normal for any of them to bring you a random object and ask what it was. It sorta became a game for ya'll *a lot of them like to ride around in your pockets (especially shirt pockets) and it's fun for you too! *be careful where you sit down, you don't wanna accidentally crush someone! *and that may or may not have happened once on accident *don't worry, 8 was fine
