HIGHPOINT OF NORTH VALLEYS REGIONAL PARK 131X MARCH 15, 2022

Living frugally over the weeks, I ate food out of my groceries and fast food or take-out. Mostly exhausted, and with nobody to care less, I rested a lot in bed. I was inspired by online hiking videos and finally had some energy to bag the local bump. The register book was gone and the container destroyed, but at least I had done a hike. The trails weren't so muddy, and though it was a cloudy and rainy day, I returned to doing some exercise.

Going to the supercenter to get a bargain sub, I also got groceries. Back to being so tired, I have to realize that I am an old man, and nobody could care less about me. I sought again to try for medical help, and finally had an appointment. They sent me for tests, and getting to their lab, I was refused due to some Covid rule, so the visit was for near nothing. I sought to have some corned beef and cabbage, but it wasn't on the hot plate buffet at the organic supermarket. Going to the casino, I had the meal for $21 with convenience payment supported.

Nobody cares about you if you're old, non-white, and with no big money. I may stop my website work, as I get zero visits. I offer rides, my peak bagging expertise, information, lodging and meals, all for free with terms, but they don't want any of it. I hope to get the medical testing done, but as it turns out, they may find nothing. Looking at my notes, I had bad times before, and did recover with warmer weather and hiking with camera work. Subsisting on food at home, I could follow the news. Though I have spare rooms for refugees, nobody would ever care to be a roommate, even for free.
