The Life of Syren Franco

Honestly, once I posted my last post on Christmas eve I had already felt better, even though I have since deleted the rant.  I got it out of me and could then focus on the good. I called over to my husband in the other room and asked, "Do you want to watch anime on the tablet in bed and eat the goodies your sister shipped over?"  and he agreed.  So I hurried over and got cozy in bed next to him.  We binge watched Attack on Titan and ate pears, chocolates, and nuts. I didn't want to dredge up the negative thoughts I've been fighting, and I didn't want to think beyond the moment.  In those moments all that mattered is I was watching Anime with the man I love.  I am fortunate to be able to rest my head on his shoulder, and we were both enjoying the company of one another, sharing food and watching a show we both enjoy. I decided to go drive for lyft and got home at about 3 a.m.  I went to bed feeling warm inside and I didn't want to change that.  I snuggled

Things I noticed. My body metabolized foods better while I was taking the water with the 20 drops.  Fast food definitely makes a big adverse difference even if it is the same calories you are used to.... The holidays are for getting fat, and that is that! I can't, or better yet, won't focus on a healthy diet while everyone is feeding me for free.  The rest of the year I will be scraping for pennies and I choose to enjoy this season.  I am not one who is upset about my body anyway, but I will still watch which foods are okay and which are not. Today I weigh 224.  I got down to 223 the last couple of days again, so I am marking 220 as my breaking point to the next bracket of weight because the 221-225 seems like that healthy fluctuation of water weight etc. Thanks for following along this small journey.  I don't and would not want to do this for 20 days.  My being didn't want to drink it after a while.  But I am going to do the MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) next.  Le

I have not had breakfast yet, and this is day three in a row of no vitamins, although yesterday I did take some fat burn pills my mom bought me.  Yesterday the morning got away from me and I did not take the H2O2 concoction.    I had a Waffle for Breakfast with PB and J and tea, but for lunch I had one of those KFC $5 fill up boxes courtesy of my mom.    I did not have dinner, but I snacked on pieces of turkey since I baked some dark meat from a turkey meat last night so not to let it go to waste... I will probably eat some for lunch now as I have not eaten this morning. The day before I had a machaca burrito for breakfast, and drank water.  By evening time I was out and about and hungry and I got a Carl's Jr $5 box with chicken tenders, a cookie, fried zucchini which I did not finish and Fuze iced tea...  All this is important because while I did not eat more than usual I realized this morning, that it is not the calories... I was keeping track of the little I eat and I often go

I did not drink the mixture yesterday, nor did I take any vitamins.  I had eaten a lot on Saturday with my mother in law having made and brought over delicious enchiladas, so I ate that for lunch and dinner plus seconds. Yesterday, I ate Carne Asada Fries for breakfast and I had a waffle with peanut butter and strawberry preserves for dinner, although before I went out to drive for Uber and Lyft in the evening I had instant popcorn too... I didn't finish the bag though.  I did drink more water than I had been.  I still have to up this part. O am drinking the water with 20 drops of H2O2 now.  Truth be told, I really don't want to this morning so it is harder to force down.Sometimes I don't even have an appetite for water.  But I was thinking about the benefits of doing this first thing in the morning.  Drinking a glass of water within 45 minutes of waking up (which I did oversleep today) helps hydrate your body before you really get going.  This gives you optimal performance

So just a while ago I took my cup of water with my 20 drops of 35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide on an empty stomach.  I had also brushed my teeth and rinsed with peroxide before doing so...  I forgot to brush my teeth before bed, or was too lazy, and I woke up feeling extra plaque in my mouth, yuck! I weighed in at 224.4, so there goes my plan of dropping a pound a day, but then again, I ate a lot yesterday too, which is fine.  I had some left overs again for the last time because the rest went to the dogs for a yummy dinner.  I also had about a third of the small pumpkin pie, which was all that was left.  I had a tall glass of milk with that too... and this was for lunch because for breakfast a couple of hours earlier I was at my mom's and had a nice breakfast of half weenie rolled tacors (2), two eggs over easy, and mashed pinto beans.  I drank green tea with that but I had a small slice of coconut frosted white cake.  And then for dinner I had a waffle with PB and J and a

I just took my second day in a row 20 drops of H2O2 in a glass of water when I started writing this blog.  I will measure the water later to know exactly how much I am using but it is not a tall glass.  It's one of those whiskey glasses that come with a bottle of Jack Daniels. I felt okay yesterday, good even, maybe it was just my mood though.  The most I felt was a bit gassy as in needing to belch at a certain point before I actually ate.  Even though the 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is food grade it still leave a mild fizzy tingle to my tongue and esophagus, so I am assuming it is still fizzing in my stomach, which would cause gas. My diet throughout the day was basically Thanksgiving left overs but portions on the smaller side.  Two cherry poptarts, and  tea for brunch, plus all my vitamins... then in the evening I ate half a tuna sandwich, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a cut of tea again.  I should have drank more water.  I will today.  I was busy all day with fixi

For science!!! Day 1 of 23 days of therapy taking 20 drops of food grade H202 into a glass of water and downing it first thing before food or drink. I am not following a strict diet but I am mindful about the foods I am eating right now, even though you'll see, I am still enjoying certain ones.... This is due to research I have been studying and for the purposes of healing my gastrominal issues, fibroids, and menstral irregularities due to hormonal imbalance. Also store bought h2o2 to the ears, but I need help with that, for now I just use a cotton swab for it. It's been 5 minutes since I drank it, I feel fine but I can still feel a bit of a tingle to my tongue and something different in my esophagus and stomach but nothing I would notice if I wasn't really paying attention to my body. I have done as many as 4 drops previously to this, but now I am in overdrive. I weighed in today at 224.5. This time last year I weighed 213. I wear my weight well, but this is no

(The things I think about) A break through... something I always knew but never understood... why things are the way they are. It's a horrible place, it's a wonderful place. Surrounded are we by love but surrounded are we by hate. And we get angry, we get offended. And we escape into pleasures of the flesh, even pleasures of the mind. And then some of us wonder if there is more and break away from that. We practice discipline and we reject sin while some of us still indulge and those of us who indulge inadvertently hurt and hold back those of us who are disciplined... sometimes we switch places without knowing... sometimes the discipline becomes a sin, and sometimes the sin burns away and purifies depending on our path and awareness. And today I was revisiting a concept, I was walking with God (so to speak) and a moment of enlightenment flowed through me where all was clear. There is so much to be mad about in the world but it doesn't matter. None of it matters.

We all went to dog beach last week. let me tell you, 4 dogs, a ten year old kid, and two adults... we made it work in the Ford C-Max! My three dogs, Sophia (border Collie Mix), Penelope (Canaan.Terrier Mix), and Artemis (white GS/Wolf mix) enjoyed it. And my friend Alice's dog, Claire, which we aren't sure what she is... dragon dog? She had fun but hated getting wet. Anyway, we recommend Dog Beach for sure.

Yesterday I drowned a mouse to end it's suffering. I hate that my cat doesn't just kill them and eat them. Why must they play with their food! At first I wondered if I could save him/her. I held the poor thing in my hand and inspected him/her. It's heart was still beating but it was motionless. One eye closed, one gruesomely popped out of it's socket. Some skin torn from on of it's legs and punctures throughout... Would it even survive this? Could it? As I held it in my hands it's cold little body seemed to begin to take comfort. It opened it's eye and looked at me. I petted it and it seemed to rest again... I didn't know what to do at that point. My husband said I was prolonging it's suffering and I thought about my hamster, Popeye, from long ago, who only had one eye and lost a leg... he was happy... but he didn't have internal injuries or a punctured lung. There was blood on my hand coming fro

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie...  then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls.  These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc...  They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types.  The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie Wisher

Since Alice moved in she's been planning to get her son Jake for the weekend, but with getting settled, finding work, and relying on me for transportation, it has not been so easy.  Finally thanks to Spring break we worked it out where we would get him and spend time with him for a week. We had fun in Balboa Park, but don't know how frequently we'll be able to go get him.  Goal number 1 is to get Alice a car.  The Job hunt is still on!

This weekend my new bestie Annie came to visit Alice and I!  We had a lot of fun goofing around in the garden, eating baked goods, and being silly.  I can't remember the last time I hung out with a couple of girls and had that much fun! I met Annie through Kevin when he moved in with us this last time.  Kevin has lived with us twice before, and this was the final time to help him get on his feet.  Annie and him had an interesting relationship... Obviously they were a thing, but he was always saying they were just friends.  Eventually he manned up and professed his love, only to then cause conflict bringing their relationship to a rocky point.  But Annie is so loving and kind, I think they can work through anything and he agrees that he is so lucky to have her in his life at all! Anyway, sadly, Kevin and I reached a breaking point too after he made some bad choices, although I understand his emotional place, but it caused too much stress for me and I opted for distance.  It

Good morning!!! I've been in this house with my husband and my dogs and cats since April of 2014 and since then we've lost some oak trees which we had to take down.  The wood piles were getting bigger and to move them seemed so daunting. Since we bought this house we've helped out several friends with a place to stay while they got on their feet or prepared for their next step.  Most recently we offered my friend Kevin a spot and he was with us for about 3 and a half months before acquiring a job at a local horse ranch which offered housing too!  Since then my best friend, whom I call Alice, moved in after I picked her up from Texas, and I have been working on making her feel at home... Kevin kind of left in such a hurry he didn't clean the RV very well so he felt pretty bad. So bad that he decided to do something nice for both Alice and I.  He decided to come over on his free day to move the log pile out of her way which is a huge help to me too! Let me tell you a lit

I met my buddy Kurt years ago through my music performance endeavors.  Kurt runs Scene Wars Collective and organizes the Anti-Competition showcase cross-country.  When I met him he had reached out to me about my band Blackwater Prophecy and ended up booking it and the other band I was a part of at the time which sadly no longer exists. He lives in Missouri so it was difficult for him to make it out the first time he booked me, but eventually he was able to make it to California when he booked me along with my then band mate for a small show. We got to meet and hang out in San Diego that night which of course solidified the connection as now I had a face to put to the name. Since then I have even gotten the opportunity to work with Kurt helping him book bands too, but ultimately my schedule didn't allow for his late night calls to discuss bookings... I may be a night owl, but I am not about working remotely at night.  In any case I've known him for several years now and he fina

I met Alice several years ago before buying our house in Jamul.  She had met me through a craigslist ad for a room for rent and after moving in and absolutely loving it with us she had originally decided to move to San Diego with us.  However our story of the home buying ordeal is rough and we had problems with escrow resulting in us not really having a home between sale and purchase of our homes so Robert and I had to live with our parents for about a month, first his then mine... Because of that Alice had to plan her life around it, and even though her stuff was in storage with us, she ultimately had to arrange for a change on moving day and we moved to Jamul without her. I don't blame her, a month is a long long time! It;s been a few years now since we moved here and Alice and I have kept in touch though I admit, I wish it was a bit more, but both her and I are the types that are bad about keeping in constant touch however are very pick-up-where-we-left-off in our interactions.

This massive storm really wrecked my neighborhood!  I uploaded this video about the damage and my neighbor was going to submit it to the news networks, but her dad advised against it.  People out here don't like to go public!  but alas, I own a blog! Watch the video for the shocking footage!

Turned out he did work for maintenance, we just couldn't see the crew from our end. =)
