Promise Me

I did my walk in the afternoon. I drove to where I do my walk near Lake Michigan and I forgot something was going on when I saw that traffic was a lot.  It was some type of air show that's going on today as well.  I found a spot to park and I walked for about an hour. I saw a lot of people walking who would say hello to me and I did the same with a smile.  People were friendly and excited.  I watched a little bit of it when I got to the point where I could see.  There was some helicopter hanging over the water.  I could definitely hear airplanes going when I continued walking.  I didn't do the hill for obvious reasons.  Plenty of people parked with their chairs, food trucks, all type of things going on.  I did my walk and left. I noticed that Brady Street was closed off as well when I took city streets home. I forgot that it was probably Brady Street days.  I think there was a bike race going on in Riverwest.  Lots of things going o...

Sleeping In

Looks like my mom is sleeping in. Sigh.  I am mad.  I'm not mad if that makes sense. I tried to wake her up at 9.  I thought she would get up but she hasn't gotten up.  I was going to do it at 9:30 but I thought screw it.  I'll try at 10 am. I thought I heard her up around 5 this morning. I was awake and looked at my watch.  I thought can't she sleep? I thought maybe she would be up when I finally got up around 5:30.  No.  She went back to sleep.  It made me wonder if she had a bad night of sleep so I can't fault her if she needs more time. No. I don't need to drive to the east side at this moment.  This is why I do leave early in the mornings because she really doesn't get up and around until after 10.  I normally get home around noon or beforehand and then whatever errands we need to do, we get it done in the afternoon so it's fine with me.   She wanted to go early and get it done.  That doesn't seem to be happening...

New Schedule

My mom and I are going to do our grocery shopping early and I will go over to the east side for my walk.  Last weekend I thought no, I'll just go do some errands on the southeast side of town.  Wound up with a nail in my tire. I can wind up with a nail on the east side too.  I'm superstitious.   My mom had said once we get the Walmart delivery set up, I'll have more time to bum around on the weekends.  I told her um, I don't have anywhere to go on the weekends.  My dance card is not full so it doesn't bother me that we go do our thing with grocery shopping.  We plan on doing this every other week so we'll still go.  It just won't be as often. I still hate that they closed the Walmart grocery store in our neighborhood.  That has really been a bitch for us since they did that a few years ago.  I don't dislike the Greendale one.  I hate going there some days. Their pharmacy has actually been one of the better pharmacies I've dealt...

Take Your Wins

 I kind of suspect that the monster is under house arrest.  I saw that he was on the website but it had electronic monitoring.  I suppose his fancy lawyer was able to get him to stay at home.  I was hoping to find a mug shot.  I don't know if I should tell my mom.   I'm not disappointed that he has house arrest.  Yes, he never left the house but he also can't smoke weed and he also has to behave himself.  He also has to have something on his ankle and nobody tells him what to do.  I noticed he incurred more court fees.  Good.  Can I add to it?  I'll take that win.  He has to do what the court says.  It took the people a few years to finally get him and they did.  I didn't expect jail time so I was pleasantly surprised. I know he won't behave.   It is what it is. I dislike that saying but yeah, it's fine.  My mom thought we were terrible for snickering about his predicament.  I said no....

End of the Week

I was up at 4 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep until the alarm went off at 5. I did doze for a half hour so technically I lost a half hour of sleep.  I'm ok with that. I really wasn't upset about anything.  Maybe I was anxious for the day.  I don't know. I thought if I have a little bit of problem with sleep, I'll sleep better tonight. I am anxious about the primary here in a few weeks. I worry if people don't get their way with their choice, they will sit out the election.  I'm sick of the childishness that goes on with the elections.  That hurts all of us.  I'm fine with Francesca Hong but if she doesn't win the primary, I am worried people will have a tantrum and stay home.  We can't afford Tom Tiffany.   I had stepped away yesterday and saw an exchange between Regina and the diva about something I knew about.  Regina was asking questions and the diva was taking lead.  She was going to show Regina because I showed her....

How Expectations Change

Would I like to find the great love of my life?  Yeah.  Of course I would.  Do I think it will happen?  I don't know. I woke up this morning and daydreamed about being with someone and having a hooky day.  Kind of cooler out this morning.  Great day to stay in bed for awhile. Yeah. I still have fire in my heart for that.  I'm not dead inside for crying out loud. My reality?  I would like to get a text from a friend about their morning.  I know I spout I want someone to talk to about my problems!  WAAAHHH!  No.  I really would prefer to listen than to talk about things that frustrate me.  I don't think people got when I went through cancer treatment that I'd rather hear about some of the things in their life than my own at times.  I don't want to hear stupid shallow stuff like My kid doesn't chicken parm tonight!  Looking at you Lois when I mention that.   I would like to hear from someone and find out h...

Another 3 Day Week

I'm not sure why I have anxiety so bad this morning.  I have off on Friday as well.  I had off yesterday so not sure what fun will be awaiting me.   I can't believe the monster was finally held accountable for his crimes.  There's a lot more that he did but this is a good start.  I really suspect that the witness list that got filed was a wake up call that more people were going to come forward about what he did.  What a horrible person.  I hope his girlfriend leaves him.  I do feel sorry for his family because it sounded like they're all respectable and decent people.   My mom wants to make a go of it living here by getting the Walmart delivery this winter.  I never even thought of it.  After her stint in the hospital, it probably isn't a good idea for her to be out in any cold weather.  I don't want to risk it.  I hate dragging water from the car up those horrible stairs.  I can deal with it if she can dea...
