Another Sticky Day

I will not be dripping on the sidewalks of West Allis today.  No thanks.  I'm over this month. August brings more hot weather but it sometimes teases us with a little cool weather.  Fall teasers and I'm here for it.  I know September and October can have hot days but it's not as often as good old sticky July.  I'm always happy to dump this month.  Bye bye. I'm full of anxiety and I don't know why. I missed a day and I don't think it'll be a big deal.  I think I'm just nervous about tomorrow.  I don't want to deal with the stomper anymore.  I'm doing better and actually feeling ok about things. I got asked about our group dynamic and I did say yeah.  Things weren't great due to one person who is no longer here but I think it has improved.  Does the diva still irritate me?  Yes.  Do I think Regina is going to the new person to make shady comments about me and others?  Yes. I don't think it'll be handled the same way as ...

A Hot Day in Whitefish Bay

 I didn't realize we were under a heat advisory today.  I thought it was for tomorrow.  My mistake.  No wonder I felt like my clothes melted onto me this morning.   I wanted to go back to the pet store in Glendale this morning and I didn't realize it didn't open until 10 so I walked down Silver Spring Drive on the mean streets of Whitefish Bay.  It was kind of quaint and really humid.  I was just looking at the businesses they had.  I looked up the nail place they had on my phone.  Too pricey.  I appreciated the bench I could sit down on and look for a moment. Glad when I got home and hopefully my choice of dry food for the Queen will be sufficient. Well boo!  I have to work a full week.  And the next couple of weeks.  Considering the weather today, I think I'm really ok with being indoors until this crap ends.  I even pulled the curtain in my room to keep the heat out because I think the central air is working o...

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....
