Monday Morning Scaries

I don't even know where I'll begin with emails but I'll do my best.  It's been too much lately and with the lurker out until tomorrow, it's been a lot.   No, I don't look forward to the lurker's return. I have a feeling it'll keep happening like it did last year.  We're left in a lurch.  It's just a never ending thing. I know I'll have a conversation about supporting Frick and Frack's area and I will share some of my concerns about being taken advantage of.  My mom reminded me of the purple bags under my eyes from covering from Frick for a period of time.  We'll see.  I just picture the lurker moving in on my assignments while I cover for the terrible twosome.  I'm just so aggravated by jerks like that. I had no idea what Mr. Bad Bunny was saying but I freaking loved the whole show.  I loved seeing Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga.  Oh!  She sang my favorite song with a latin flair. I love her.  I used to get mocked by Barry for...

An Update on the Monster

I'm not sure if he finally got arrested. I hope he did but he has a court hearing in early March.  He has an attorney now and he's under some type of monitor.  My mom said how will his peg leg pants work with an ankle monitor?   I would like to see him go to jail but I don't hold out any hope.  He deserves it because he stole from people working as a contractor and he also stole from us in a different way.  Our energy bill skyrocketed from usage while he lived here from late 2020 to early 2025.  It may go down again and nobody's bill is going down right now for energy, but ours has. During that time, I had started the second stage of my treatment.  The zoladex shot.  In 2021 my insurance went up to maximum $2500 a year with a $1200 deductible.  Before that, it was $500 deductible and the max was $1500.  I thought that was bad because I had done that for 2 years and was struggling. So for about 3 years, I paid $2500 a year with all o...

Another Sunday

Dear Alec Lasry or whatever the hell your name is, please shovel your stupid sidewalk you jerk. I was trying to find a way to go for a walk and well that wasn't happening.  I tried going down a different block on the east side and I passed the Lasry house that was filled with snow.  You would think with all of his money, he would hire someone.  Idiot.   I did see plenty of people shoveling.  It was just kind of an off morning for walking. I did get a good start on Ione Skye's audible book.  Wow.  She's a wild one and so was her mom.  I loved her in Say Anything.  It's one of my favorite movies.  I don't really follow football but since the orange man and his cult followers don't like Mr. Bunny, I'm going to watch.   It looked like my cousin was going to say goodbye to her beloved dog last week.  Turns out the dog has made a recovery and is doing well. I loved to hear that.  I love to hear great news.   ...

Patience Interlude

This one came to me when I was getting my nail done and drifting off to interlude land. I think of him.  That person.  He is soft spoken and kind of shy.  He knows how to hold his own and he is in a position of authority.  People respect him.  Personally, things haven't always been the easiest for him. He is patient.  He is so incredibly patient with me.  He talks to me softly and smiles when I make a bad joke.  He explains things kindly and not in a condescending manner.  He shows concern when I tell him about a bad day.  He is thoughtful with his words. He takes time with things.  He helps when I don't understand something and he makes sure that I understand.  He doesn't think I'm less than because of some of my life's experiences.  He understands. We talk a lot and spend time around each other even though his time is busier than mine.  He knows how to communicate when we're away and he makes time that just really s...

No Patience for the Inpatient

I know I've said it before. Many times. I don't do well with impatient people.  It makes me nervous.  It doesn't help my confidence.  It makes me crazy.  I have gotten angry with people who get impatient with me. I was trying to figure out how to get this Tens thing put together.  I thought I had to buy an adapter. I was wrong.  I found a video on my phone that showed me how it got charged.  Damn it. I had it in the box.  Ugh.  I thought ok.  I can do this. I have it charging.  I will take the stupid cord I got off of Amazon thinking I needed that.  Patience.  I'll get it done. My mom had commented on my high school boyfriend being so impatient the other day.  He was in trade school or college and I was a senior.  It was our first date and I guess according to my mom, he was impatient about waiting for me. I am not a person that keeps people waiting as far as getting myself together.  I think of the few rela...

Good Human Club

 I wish there was a club for people like me that could have a buddy system with a friend.  By that, I mean help with things that overwhelm the other person.  I'm not talking about me.  I know when Corinne lived in the area she had to deal with a lot on her own and I kind of wished that I was more aware and more helpful for her.   My mom got me this thing for pain that my cousin recommended.  It's called Tens. I have no idea how to get it set up.  I think I got the right charger. I was able to turn it on.  We'll see if the charger I used works.  I got a water flosser as well to help me with flossing.  I have no idea how to set this up but I will figure it out.  Eventually. My mom is taking her homestead paperwork down to Jeremy to ask him to sign the form again.  She had me try to explain it to the guys and things kept getting messed up.  I have no idea how to explain Homestead.  She is going to do it herself....

My messy manicure

I messed my nails within 20 minutes of getting them done.  I'm leaving them.  When you look at them from a distance, they appear fine.  Up close?  I smudged the polish on my right thumb.  Looks like some of its missing on my left thumb and my left pinky finger.  The girl warned me about it being so touchy.  I tried.  I couldn't linger around the school like an idiot and I did carry my coat in the 38 degree weather. I was cold but not that cold.  I thought I could take it.  I had to stop at the post office and get stamps.  I think that's where I did the most damage getting a card out of my purse.  Then when I got home I thought this sucks.  I started look up products on Amazon on fixing something like this and I almost got something, but I cancelled. It doesn't suck that bad.  It is what it is.  If I went to my old place in Shorewood, they have you sit and put your nails under some heating dryer and have them dry ...
