The Invisible Woman Chronicles

It's really hurt me in my lifetime that I got written off by people that I wouldn't amount to anything good. I wouldn't have a good job. I wouldn't get married.  I wouldn't have kids.  I fought hard to show them.  I showed them that they were right. Sigh. I'll say what was so painful about my last visit with my soon to be ex doctor.  He brought up my least favorite exam in the world that tests if you have cervical cervix.  Because I'm not engaging in the activity that might prompt it, I am exempt a few years from it.  I don't really have a party for it but hey, I'm ok with it. He brought up I'll only have to have it a few more times and then I'm done because of my age.  I know after a certain age, my mom was told that she didn't need mammograms anymore. Do I care if I get to end that exam in the next few years?  No.  Not at all.   Did he say it in a real smirky way that made it sound condescending? Yeah.  He did. He embarrassed...

I had a moment of panic this morning. I was worried I didn't see my transaction from Panera Bread deducted from my checking account. I paid with Paypal which would take me to my checking account.  I thought did I hit one of the credit cards I had on accident?  I didn't.  Thank god.  I'd be making some phone calls and apologies today for that if I did.  Note to self - delete any credit card I have with Paypal so I don't have the heart failure again.   It'll be weird not have the Thinker around.  I'll be alone with my thoughts again.  Oh well.  I didn't always agree with the Thinker and how she handled things but it was nice having someone who has on the same wave length as me.  She was the one that told me how the diva bragged up the lurker and Regina to corporate higher ups.  I wasn't shocked but I admitted she had some issues with treating me funny.  There's other people who are nice but I got to keep some things to mysel...

I'm so thankful.  I needed this. I have a hair cut this morning and later, I'll take my mom to city hall to drop off her ballot for the primary.  Not a lot to do today and I'm ok with that.  I'll have off of on Friday so another fast and furious week.  I'll deal. I read the polls for Wisconsin governor and Mandela and Francesca both have a good chance at beating Tom Tiffany.  You can't help but like Mandela when you meet him.  You want to adopt him and I gave my word.  I voted for him.  I'll vote for Fran if she's the winner.  I like Fran too. I worry because Wisconsin is not New York as far as a Democrat Socialist is concerned.  Why not?  Corinne reminded me that there were Milwaukee mayors who were Democrat Socialists.  I have no problem with a Democrat, Socialist. I have a problem with MAGA though.  Whoever it is, please bet Tom Tiffany.  Please. Yeah.  I was wishing for a lightning storm in a certain capitol ...

I did feel it was July 4th when the fireworks started outside and I had to console a scared cat.  Poor Precious. Not a fan of this holiday with a nervous fur baby. I had to cuddle her a couple of times because she looked panicked when she would hear the booms.  I hate the fireworks.  I liked watching them on TV.  I don't like them scaring poor Precious or any other pet.   It didn't feel like it was a holiday.  Felt like a quieter Saturday. I had gone to Pet Supplies in Glendale to stock up on food and I noticed a couple talking to someone about dog food.  I think the woman caught my attention because of her stomach.  I thought is she pregnant?  No.  She was wearing awkward clothing.  Kind of inappropriate. I get it.  It's humid.  I'm not winning any wars on weight. I long for the day where I can wear a pair of shorts that don't involve a drawstring.  This woman was maybe a little overweight and I thought you can ...

I was at Bayshore this morning.  I had just gone to the pet store in the area to stock up for the queen and I thought I'd get Nexium at Target.  I cut through Kohls and when I walked down the street of stores on my way, I saw maybe about 5  or 6 cops talking to a woman.  I thought why so many and should I be on this side of the street?  I heard one of the cops tell another that he couldn't believe that this woman got spat on.   Someone spit on another person?  Wow.  I hurried past the police woman and the woman who said the woman was about to punch her and pulled her arm back.  She was a black woman dressed casually dressed in sweats outside of a Bath and Body Works store. My mom asked was it another black woman?  I know.  That sounds like implicit bias.  I actually didn't think it was so I guess that made me biased as well.  I said I didn't know but my guess is that it wasn't.  There was an incident during Covid...

 I hope I don't have another stupid day. I suspect I'll be asked to assist the diva.  I will begrudgingly because I'm the better person than she is.  I'm annoyed that someone got driven out because of people like that.  I'm just hanging out in the angry alley today and it sucks.  I'll be fine but the situation irritates me. I hate that dripping faucet.  I want to avoid seeing Jeremy or Charlie because I'm afraid they may ask and I don't want to lie but I don't want to tell them that the faucet is still dripping.  They may want to remodel and I reminded my mom do you remember how much fun we had when it came to the windows being put in?  We didn't have fun.  It was a nightmare.  I hate that tub. I so badly want to move from this place.  I don't dislike Jeremy or Charlie.  You can't find better people than them for landlords.  I suspect that we may have another rent increase and I hate that.  I'm sick of everything goin...
