having trouble with one of my kindles. the wi fi password got deleted. aaron didn't call on monday or tuesday. we have been talking twice a week for about two years. he is a joy to talk to. he's empathetic, brilliant and knows so much and doesn't talk about problems. i got very sad because i thought he stopped calling. he wound up calling on wednesday and friday. i asked him what he eats. he said they eat a lot of buckwheat. both he and his wife are frugal. they have something besides the buckwheat. i looked it up and it is healthier than oatmeal. lately i have just been having oatmeal with flaxseed and a bagel or english muffin. it is cheap so i am saving a lot of money on food and it is helping my ibs. it is a double incentive. i ordered buckwheat.
i asked him what he was reading and he said he is rereading Dune. I looked it up and it sounded awesome so i bought it and a couple of others in the series and herbert's complete stories.
i read another book yesterday that i really enjoyed. the characters were talking about augustus's wife Livia. I didn't know he had three wives. She sounded fascinating so i bought a book about her. When i studied Latin. we only went up to the augustan period. Intermittently I am reading about the later good emperors.
I am so out of control about spending. i bought a gorgeous shoulder bag i couldn't resist. I adore the floral pants that retailed for 89 dollars and got one for 20 and the other less. i also bought a few more black tunic tops. I also buying more supplement. I think at least one really works. it is made of mushrooms and i have a lot more energy among other things. I have more laxatives I haven't tried yet.
Kathy is going with me on wednesday to finally have my hair cut. I like the natural look on older people so I don't dye my hair and keep on wondering if it causes cancer.
In two weeks she will go with me to get a shingles shot.
Sam gave me something to study for mindfulness. I hope i get to it before calls.
Then I saw that one of stocks which was performing poorly had two large buys by Goldman Sachs and Renaissance Technologies one of the top hedge funds if not the top. It is closed to new customers. Joe my friend's husband was a salesman for them and made a ton of money. i liked him a lot and when we went to plays we always agreed on what we saw but Betty who was phi beta kappa usually missed the point. She drank everyday but wasn't an alcoholic. She got breast cancer. Then had a hysterectomy to remove cancer and then she died. I think it was the liquor. she was slim, ate very healthy and exercised.
