The Invisible Woman Chronicles

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...

It was productive.  It was hot.  OMG is it hot out there.  I was on a quest after work to find ice cream bars for my mom and I didn't realize it was 97 degrees. I thought oh, I can maybe walk after work to the store.  Hold my ice cream while it melts. I figured I should drive since yeah.  It would melt if I dare walk.  Last night didn't feel so bad when I did it.  It's six blocks and there was a wind blowing.  Definitely feeling the heat tonight.  Go over to Mar A Lardo please and leave us alone. The stupid part?  Well if you think it involves the diva, you would be right!  I think of how nice it is that I don't have to listen to people's dumb conversations standing by my desk all the time. I don't want to know your wife has IBS. I think I know what may be causing it though!  There was one conversation with some of the woman talking about their sons whipping it out in the snow to pee in winter.  I drew the line at that and...

I hate to say where I found a stray black hair this morning.  It was on my neck.  I get them from time to time and it just grosses me out.  I know it's a whole hormonal thing but damn.  I've had this weird hair thing since I was a kid.  I swear I'm a ninja warrior when it comes to plucking the stray hair or stray hairs when I come across one.   I've been told I have such great eyebrows.  Well I was eyebrow shamed as a kid.  Yeah, a family member and a few bullies helped with that.  I had the thick black eyebrows that could grow together if they tried so I went for my first eyebrow wax at 14 and tried my hardest to keep up with plucking but that was the impossible dream.  Eventually I'd make an appointment once a month in my 20s to start getting them waxed and tweezed.  People wonder why I have a good pain tolerance?  That's why.  Sigh.  I plucked my eyebrows so badly for my sophomore picture that they look like p...

 I'll have actually three weeks where I only work 3 days. I can do that.  Dread seeing my emails today but hey, got a three day work week! Note to self.  If I have an issue with my weight not budging, I'm keeping it to myself.  No offense to my mom, I understand her intention.  I'm not ok with her discussing it with my cousin. I felt guilty for feeling angry when I listened to her talk.  I didn't say a word when she told what my cousin had suggested that I should do and explained that sugar is a carbohydrate.  Noooooo, you don't say?  I am not sitting her with a big cake eating it all day.  I just can't with people and their suggestions.  I thought I should show my cousin grace for the health troubles she's had but she has had a tendency to be a know it all and that we should all do what she says.  Glad my cousin is doing better with her health but I don't need anyone commenting on how much I weigh.  Almost makes me think the g...

 I thought it was supposed to be cooler this summer.  This week will prove me wrong.  BOOO! My mom is talking to my cousin about my weight loss problems. I honestly want to scream when I hear that.  Not her fault.  That's her whole side of the family and their obsession with everyone's weight and dieting.  I don't want to hear it.  I'll scream.  My aunt still tried to give me dieting advice after I dropped 35 pounds years ago and I felt good about myself at the time.  Still wasn't good enough for them I guess. I had to open my mouth and admit I had a bad week.  It wasn't a bad thing but I seem to be at a plateau.  Days like this make me wish that Cassie would get diarrhea from her ozempic.  I know.  That's terrible.  When you spend the time drinking your water, trying to limit the bad stuff and get the healthier stuff plus the exercise, it just sucks.  It's like do I have to get another sinus infection for anothe...
