“We’re all afraid of something, dear. Never fear the truth. It’s the only real passport you have to reach new levels of understanding. You may find it corny, but the truth can set you free.”

MY LIFE AT ROSE RED
Twenty-five years ago today:
April 23, 1987
Thursday
It was another freebie, relaxed day for me. I suddenly feel weight coming on. I need to hit the gym. I still feel good though.
Rachelle called me and we changed our date to meet until next Monday night. It’s just as well.
Tom Hlebakos called me to confirm our dinner outing. I agreed but I certainly won’t be bringing my toothbrush along. There won’t be a sleepover.
I did leave my white pants at Judy Geniella’s house in Sacramento. What a drag! I called her to double-check.
Judy answered, “Yes, they’re here.”
I remained home all evening watching THE BOLD and THE BEAUTIFUL and DYNASTY. At 10PM I went to bed. I’ve had a good rest during these extra days off.
I haven’t made it to the gym but I will go tomorrow morning.
I wish I could live my life by just going to the gym in the morning and then going to the library to write my books, letters, screenplays or whatever words come to my mind. That would be fun.
Mom is so sweet. It’s nice to see her daily, too—before she heads off for her swing shift job at the post-office. I am able to see more of my niece, Ashley, now, too.
Helen, my sister-in-law, returns this Friday night. Perhaps I should have a BBQ here at my house on Sunday. It’s a thought.
The ‘vibes’ between Eileen Grabinsky and I don’t feel very smooth right now.
I especially didn’t like it when Kevin said, “Eileen and David went out together the other night.”
It may have just been a little boy being mischievous; however, Eileen didn’t contradict little Kevin’s story. I can only assume it may be true.
“It seems our worst fears are always more than justified.”
