Post Hawai'ian Adventure Into Horror ( Second Week )

Monday: i'm in Yakima Washington, which is a very clean town, even the industrial area is surprisingly spotless... But i was listening to the radio this morning, and learned that Peter Jennings had died in his sleep... How peaceful, that's the way i would like to die, peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, and not screaming in horror, like the passengers in his car.
What else-- i was going to mention that while listening to the radio, about 2/3's of the stations here, are in Spanish...!!! What does that mean...???
Also: i'm way over budget...!!! i'll have to start massively scrimping...immediately -- &/or find someplace to live...!!!
The computer here at the Yakima Library is really slow, esp. Compared with the ones in Seattle...!!!
Yesterday was kind of an odd day, i usually don't talk to anyone, and esp. This last year in Hawai'i, i didn't make any 'friends' or even the most causal of casual acquaintances...! But yesterday ( Sunday ) i talked at length to TWO people, A crazy guy in Seattle, and an Adventurer on the Bus to Yakima...??? The second had just come back from Alaska, ( fishing ) and is not going to go ( soon? ) to Peru...!!! ( And he's only 22 !!! )

Tuesday: i washed my hair this morning, and changed my socks. i have still not given up. i have given up... now. i found an ad on a bulletin board for house-sharing... it was for $165 + Utilities. This is like 1/9th of what i am seeing everywhere else. i called this guy, and it sounded a little suspicious... Like-- he wouldn't give me the address to go by and see the house, since he's out of town and won't be back until Friday...??? Then i went over to A Community Action Something office, but all the 'Low Cost' Housing that they had access to, was still WAY MORE than i am ready to pay... The $220 that i was paying in Bremerton was apparently ridiculously below the Market Value... i'm sure that that unit that i was living in is probably going for $500 now, at least. i am Freaking Out. Part of the problem, like Ellensburg & Corvallis-- Moscow is a College town, and VERY NICE. i need to find a slightly less nice, Not a College town.

Things that i keep forgetting to do: Use the Discount Coupons that come with Every GreyH- Bus Ticket. You get one with every ticket, so that only a complete idiot would ever pay a full ticket price, more than once. i have always paid full ticket price. i get all jittery whenever i go to buy a ticket, and i forget about the discount coupon. Another thing is Taking my pills ( Vitamins & Aspirins ) i had a routine in Hawai'i, and of course, now, the conditions of that routine are never met, so i always forget... But the especially frustrating part is that i DO REMEMBER after i've drunk my last sip of coffee...!!!

Supplement for Tuesday: i thought that i could 'handle' a Cheese & Cherry Bakery thinger this morning, But i could not--!!! It came out { explosively } about an hour and a half later. i can't eat anything anymore. How can i be so fat...???

Boise; Idaho -- Wednesday : Crapped my pants again this morning, i thought that i was feeling alright, but it turned out it wasn't a harmless fart -- Then -- after walking and walking and walking, i found a laundromat and it had a bathroom, and all that came out THEN was fart air...!!! But i really needed to do laundry anyways, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. The rents here looked promising at first, but they are mostly for SHARING, in the 250$< Range... But more importantly, i have lost the will to find a place to stay... i wish that someone was helping me a little bit, like looking through their own papers, or giving me some hints that they have reaped from a successful life of functionality. These sorts of things are COMPLETELY alien to me... The last 15 years in Bremerton were a Surrealistic FLUKE...
