My sister just got done completing helicopter lessons and was ready to fly on her own. She invit d me for a ride. We took off but as soon as she did, she over did the levers and we went upside down. I panicked in fear, but she was so nonchalant about it as if it was no big deal. She corrected and we were right side up again, but she was shaky with the levers and the helicopter was never stedy, constantly wavering from left to right. We ended up upside down again. I was afraid we were going to crash and die. I didn't want to die at the hands of an inexperienced helicopter pilot, sister or not. I asked her to land and she did on a big frony yard lawn in Evanston. I told her the truth, that she was shaky and I didn't want to fly with her. She started crying and was upset. I told her she needs way more training and practice and that I'm going to get out. I told her she would have to return the helicopter in her own. She said she would just leave it where it was. I told her she couldn't do that and that this was someone's front yard, plus the propellers were sticking out over the street. I was afraid that she was going to be mad at me, but I had to tell her the truth. We ended up in a coffee shop on Main St. and I bought her a drink. The next scene was about Grace, my step-mother. She called to tell me that my son jacked up the bill on my phone plan again and it would be around $350 or $550. I told her I though she had cut off his phone last time when this happened and she said she hadn't. I was frustrated because if she had done that, I wouldnt be liable for paying hundreds of dollars. The next scene was me sitting in San Diego by the bandshell near Seaport Village on the Bay. I was miserable, it was hot, I wasn't dress d for the weather and I didn't want to be there. As much as I said or I thought I had loved San Diego, I guess I meant more the mimountains and the desert and not sitting with drinking and overly social concert dwellers trying to have a good time. I was supposed to have gone on to Hawaii, but despite all my planning, I realized I never booked that part of the trip. I had taken a helicopter ride from San Diego to either Coronado Island or Santa Monica Pier, something on the coast. Once I landed, I realized the helicopter didn't go all the way out to Hawaii and I would have to get a separate plane ticket there. I sat in a picnic bench near the Hornblower cruise docks and looked up flights on my phone. Last minute flights to Hawaii were up to $419. I didn't want to pay that. I thought maybe it might be better if I visited Alaska to cross that off my list and return to Chicago after. Prices were around $325, close to what they would normally be. I was present to the fact that I fantasize often about moving back to California, but then now that I am there, I don't like it and I didn't fit in with the people anymore than I do in Chicago.
