Giuseppe's journey: Monday August 8

I had a good weekend overall.

A lot of space around me, a lot of open space not been constricted in a crowded place like I am right now.

I like feeling that I am eating like a normal person, not sharing the table with any other patients as I have been offered here. Feeling normal is what I need to know when I am eating with metal utensils that I bring from the apartment rather than using plastic utensils.

As I am not comfortable. In the morning I barely have any time to eat and then off to the bus, at lunch I guzzle down my food in a heart bit...I do not like eating this way.

The cacophony at CNS is omnipresent. An incredible place to be and to do the so called rehabilitation..many different characters in this place, many different reactions to this much troubled environment.

I would invite Mr Trump to attend a lunch in this place... he could have an enlightening experience and perhaps win some hearts over his cause. He would learn some useful lessons about life as as well

After all he is not doing well in California.

This is perhaps why I like the open space outside. No people screaming no patients disturbing me...

I have to tell that it is hard to get away from the ones that screams at full blow.

Debilitating experience anyway not a rehabilitating experience..what can you do about it.

As the birds are flying and the fish is swimming in the ocean he is screaming full voice worst than a rooster.

He has a little place at church where he can scream aloud and not make feel at odd the normal people ...

I was attending that place once... no more any longer I am done with it, finito for good. Let it be for the ones that have the patience.

For good I am done because of the poor environment.

When in La Canada is a different environment. A true human society that share the common value of S.Bede church. Otherwise In Bakersfield.. I am a broken record.

Anyway open space..

Can you spot the bee among the flowers?

Activities for last Sunday.

I first went to Albertsons supermarket near the gym.

I needed to get some extra Virgin Olive Oil.

I found a Carapelli one.

There is a a surprising number of good items over there.

It is too bad they do not run a regular service with it.

Oh yes because it is only for Normal people it would be too much for the society to be discovering what has been swept under the rug.

I am sure the Supermarkets that are accepting to do business with CNS (Trader Joe's. Winco, Walmart) are all used to the CNS environment.

Adding Albertsons would be that the society is ready to accept another disturbing reality.

It is best to leave it hidden under the rug as a lot of places for normal people do not want to feel they are any different than any other place.

I then went to have a hair cut. There is a nice little place called the Upper Cut near the gym.

I have been there several time.

It is a no frill place, you walk in and out in no time.

It the the place for me to go based on myself.

I spent $17 ( $15+$2 of tip) .

Got the receipt at CNS and I they reimburse it right away based on the fact that I did not accept any outing money.

Afterward I had a quick lunch and went to the gym.

I went with CNS van but I came back on my self.

As always I am taking care of cleaning and more cleaning.

I received my Economist magazine... I am reading it a lot.

Simona has renewed the subscription that had run out.

More cleaning on Saturday. Obviously it was a careful and thoughtful approach.

As I am a tall person I can reach those places were Lupe the house keeping lady is not capable of reaching.

So the top of the curtain frame
