More Than You Want to Know

Fio lives in fear of forgetting something importent so she tries to write everything down, which means her lista amarilla is about two inches thick with notes, which means, yes, that she often loses or forgets thing.  Now you've been warned.

Fiorella also lives in frustration because there's really nothing she can do to save the nation except post her anger on FB. And talk about anger, she is seething at the reports of efforts to make it difficult or impossible for black or Native Americans to vote. Hmmm... maybe she should get herself one of those AK-15 things.

Trick-or-treat time approacheth so your Fio braved the crowds in the Halloween aisles of Target and bought about sixty dollars worth of candy, including the big bags of Hershey kisses whe gives to her guys at Mazda and at Click Computer Repair every year. Looking around, she was a troubled by all the costumes for sale. Sure they were cute, but they all looked alike. Where was the individual? Fiorella remembers the gypsy majorette costume she and her mother put together when Fio was in the first grade. The skirt and bolero were stock from God only knows where, but her mother fashioned earrings out of canning rings and tied a scarf around Fio's head while Fio turned the tops of her house slippers up so they looked like boots and, of course, carried her baton.

 How desperate is Fio to write down her every thought?  So desperate that, as she was going through the H-E-B checkout line, she smiled disarmingly at the clerk and grabbed one of the advertisements for part-time workers ($12/hr). The second she was out of sight, she jotted down notes on the purloined page for an essay on homemade Halloween costumes. Yes, people, there's more to come.

Fiorella's planning to use the Maps app for everywhere she goes, starting today, so that she'll be comfortable with it when she drives to Waco on Tuesday for that high school reunion. Wish her well. Electronics are not her strong suit. Neither are reunions.
