Edna’s Diary Entries for 2025 In case something happens to them like me throwing them away.

I will also enter 2024 starting today there aren’t that many, but I have stated ‘On Sundays I will write’ and here we are.

When I started writing in my daily 2024 diary the goal was to write 365 pages of a story in my head and then attempt to publish this story as a book. I very quickly stopped writing daily in 2024. Now I am just going to write whatever I am thinking daily, then type up both entries from ’24 and ’25 every Sunday and post them in a blog.

This has to become a habit for me, in the past I have not kept up with habits I try so hard to establish because of laziness really, not for writers block. I always have something to say.

This is the first weeks of ’24 and ’25. They are very different a lot changes in a year.

I wonder what to write today, the first day of 2024. My thoughts are to make plans for this year, but I never really follow through. I do finally want to write some of my stories and thought this might help. I know that it will help get out the junk thoughts that crowd my brain and keep me off my phone. I’ve got to do this every day any chance I get because it will keep my thoughts fresh, get out of my head what I am thinking and help me stop holding myself back. I fight depression at times, but it has never been bad especially lately. I mean later in life as I have gotten older. Now I only feel a little disappointed that I didn’t try harder when I was younger. I have to do that now.

One was good one was bad. They were told from birth they had to fight to protect the light until the good one had it and the bad one didn’t, the bad one used it to trap souls, that’s what the light did. The good ones didn’t use it, with them the balance was kept even but they had to fight to keep it from the hands of evil. These were times when the world was at peace with no fighting and no war. After awhile the good one prevails by killing the bad one. This is difficult because they are protected by supernatural forces. When the evil power was defeated the good one prevailed and became complacent. With no one to fight, the light was protected by good forces. An entire generation was not taught that it should be protected. It sat for years between two pieces of glass in an attic.

Once there was a world covered in darkness. The people in this world lived in fear of light. When anyone used light, they were punished or killed. The keepers of the darkness were feared they were cruel and tortured people in their world with never ending pain, keepers took away loved ones, they killed their people or turned them into slaves. Being a slave in this world meant working for eternity, no sleep and no food. There was no way to fight darkness, they were creatures created from magic, they were fierce beasts with no soul, and nobody the only thing they knew was cruelty. There was never any peace in this world. Fear ruled and the people would often turn on each other, which pleased the darkness and made it grow stronger.

About two years ago my fiancé and I went to Washington state. He spent summers there as a child and wanted me to see the state and his grandmother’s old house. It was beautiful. The first day we went to Mt. St. Helens my fiancé had memories of shoveling ash at his grandmother’s house after the volcano erupted. Mt. St. Helens was huge and majestic. At a look out point there was an older couple we talked to they told us about when Mt. St. Helens erupted, the woman cut her hands when she tried to clean ash from the gutters of her house because the ash was glass. The man had a classic Chevy Malibu that never ran again because ash from the explosion got into the engine and ruined the car. They were a great couple. On the way back down the mountain we stopped at the Buried A Frame. The man at the gift shop told us his parents built the house and were ready to move in when the volcano erupted and buried it in ash. After that the water table changed, it was never lived in, so they left it buried in ash and made it a tourist attraction.

Laura lived in the dark. She had been tortured to the point of almost dying her entire life. This was her life she didn’t know anything else. When people of the darkness died, they became the darkness. It was how life worked in their world. When your life is nothing but pain and misery, happiness, peace and hope are emotions you don’t understand. Laura spent her days running from the dark she was always scared. One day Laura started to fade, she could feel life leaving her as she ran. She started to feel something she didn’t understand, she didn’t want to die. Laura started to fall and when she did, she saw light.

Someone expressed interest in my art and buying them but when they wrote back it was nonsensical. I don’t know why people think I’m dumb. My response was ‘Thank you for your interest, but I will pass,’ then blocked the email. If someone was really interested, they would ask for a particular one and make sense. I only work in dollars. I have a mole on my neck that worries me it will get itchy, and it is very dry. I put lotion on it and some of the moleskin comes off, is that weird? I don’t know. I had a mole on my arm once that was itchy and I scratched it so much that it came off, is that weird? Anyway, that was so many years ago that it does not matter now. I’m always itchy anyway which might be the only weird thing but that is because I’m allergic to everything. So that isn’t weird, right?

The protectors have many jobs. Protectors keep predators away; they forage and hunt and keep people alive. There are four protectors known only by the colors they wear. Red, Green, Purple and Blue. Each comes from families of protectors. Their legacy is handed down for generations. Red is muscle and anger, Green fertility and new growth, Purple leadership and rulers and Blue peace and hope. All four guarded people of their world ferociously. They made sure there was food to eat, their people were never threatened, and evil was kept away. For centuries these four families kept their world at peace. For centuries their world was perfect full and happy.

Lately I’ve been watching and listening to shows about demon possession. The show I’ve been watching is kind of silly, but the podcast is interesting. One of the stories about a boy named Tommy who sounds like he could have truly been possessed. There was a man in England named Mike who ripped off his wife’s face with his bare hands then tore apart the family dog. It’s crazy to think someone could do that to someone they love. I know there is a study of demons in theology, and it would be an interesting thing to study. It would need to be from a legitimate source, I wouldn’t want to fall into some weird rabbit hole. I’ve always had an interest in theology I know if there are angels and there is a heaven there also must be a hell and demons. There has to be balance for living things to thrive. If there is unbalance just one thing missing, there is death.

Laura felt the hard ground she couldn’t see, she couldn’t open her eyes. She didn’t understand what was happening. She curled her body into a ball and just lay there shivering. Laura was moaning and in so much pain. Her skin was burning but she couldn’t stop shivering. The noise came to the attention of Red, the fiercest protector. Red had a sense that she couldn’t explain. She always knew when someone was in pain or in danger. She went to Blue first, then Green then Purple. They all followed Red to the forest, they came to a small clearing and there was Laura lying on the ground, moaning loudly. Red, Purple, Blue and Green walked slowly forward.

I used to look at Facebook a lot and I somehow acquired a lot of friends there. I would post a status and people in real life would tell me how funny they were. Then I went to the police academy and my fellow recruits said the same thing. Then I left there and went to work for an insurance company and my coworkers there said I was funny. I don’t even try; I’m just being me really. So at one time I thought ‘I will write down in a book all the funny things and try to become a comedian.’ I bought a notebook and never wrote a thing in the pages. Here’s the thing, by just being me, that’s what people think is funny. There is nothing to write. I’m just out in the world doing my thing. I would never be able to do that on stage. Weird right? Oh well that’s my life.
