Attempted church

Vallejo, CA

I attempted to go to church today, but the location the LDS website sent me to had no roof. I eventually found church in Benicia.

Old train depot near Eckley Pier

Near Crockett CA

Today my dad and I were supposed to go to a Jazz event in Vallejo, but when we got there it was nothing to care about, so instead I took him on a tour. We went to the Benicia Shoreline, Bencia State Capital building, The Carquinez bridge North overlook, the city of Crocket, the village of Port Costa and the Eckley Pier. Though I took a bunch of pictures, this on keeps coming back to me. I think I like the textures the most. If I remember - I'll post the BTCs at some point.

painting the castle


Fairfield, CA

For Fairfield Girls Camp this coming week, they are doing something that requires a castle painted on cardboard. On Wednesday night my Tech Director (from Oakland Temple Hill) asked me to come up and paint him a castle that he had sketched out. Tonight I returned and John and I painted the sky. John doesn't care very much for blending so I did all of the blending when it comes to the sky. I'm not totally happy with it, but it is what it is.

organized

Antioch, CA

One nice thing about Tuesday was having Kelley and my dad there. Kelley helped organize the cars as we loaded. My dad was in charge of organizing my new 5'X5' storage unit. He created a clothes rack out of my futon bed frame. The last bonus was Tina who brought refreshments at the right time.
Despite the reason for the event, I was really grateful for having an amazing crew. I hope I have just as an amazing crew on the day I decide to tackle my 5'X10' storage unit.

Homeless

Cal Maritime, Vallejo, CA

(There is usually a really big boat between me and the bridge, but it has left its home port and is out at sea right now.)

Last night my new roommate threatened to kill me. He did this as he threw his stuff against walls and pounded fists on his bedroom walls. Yesterday my landlord agreed to let me out of my contract (after my flatmate threatened my landlord as well). Today my father and friends moved me out (my now former roommate threatened to kill my father today. I feel it important to mention my father is former military). I am safe. My stuff is in storage, safe. I'm homeless but my friends have come through and offered me places to stay.
Everyone keeps asking and I don't know the answer. I think he has some mental issues but I'm not sure. I hope what ever is affecting him, I hope he gets better.

finding focus

Oakley, CA

My roommate was super loud last night, so my eyes were tired all day. This was the only picture I took and it was dizzying to take.
