I see you Monday

I'm not a ball of anxiety this Monday.  Maybe when I see my emails that might be a different story. I watched a lot of YouTube this weekend.  My mom has grown quite fond of Jennifer Welch and her podcast I've Had it. I remembered her show on Bravo and I liked it.  Too tame for Bravo which explains why it lasted 2 seasons but so happy to listen to her podcast with her friend Angie.  I really like Pod Save America but those guys turned out to be pompous jerks.  I'll take Jennifer and Angie over the Obama bros.  Jerks. I don't know who this Hasan Piker is but I'm glad David Crowley isn't campaigning with him.  Who is this guy?  We deserved 9/11?  I saw the video of him speaking at one of Fran's rallies and he seemed ok but I'm not a fan of this provocative talk.  Doesn't matter which party you support or kind of support.  I can see why Carville lost his ever loving mind over this guy and I think sometimes James Carville should shut up ...

Sunday Snooze

I got a little panicked today.  Shocker, I know.  I got a little camera for the kitchen when the monster was here in the weird event that he was picking our lock and coming in when we were gone.  It has helped me in a different way.  My mom can be a late sleeper so if I'm out on a weekend morning, I'm to call her if I don't see her on the camera by 10 in the morning.  I didn't notice until 10:30 and the phone kept ringing.  It hit me that she might have disconnected the phone yesterday.  I was hoping I would see her pop up randomly.  No such luck until I got home at noon and she was fast asleep. This week, she got a scam call from Wells Fargo.  She probably made a mistake picking up and saying I don't have any money.  Quit calling.  Oh, I've done my share of clap back moments with the scammers but I heard recently that if you stay on too long, they can pick up your voice and use it with AI. After she did that, they tried calling fiv...

The Return of the Frick

 Last week, I got asked by the stomper if I could help their group today.  That group?  It involves Frick and Frack.  I really dreaded being asked that question but I agreed to a half day.  I received a message from Frick that made me ask a couple of questions.  There was a lot of confusion for me and in response, I got a snotty response that someone else in their group needed help.  I got a "Just so you know, we don't need your help."  I will relay that message to someone when the time is right. I know things can get lost in the cyber world but I knew her in the real world. I knew what she meant.  F off loser. If there was anyone who was shown a ton of grace, it was Frick.  I tried. I really tried. I thought maybe the three of us were better when both their dads passed and I went through cancer in the same year.  There were things that bothered me that Frick did that made me question if this is someone who could ever be a friend. I...

So Much for a Treat Myself Day

 The nail place was nice but I don't think I'll be back.  I keep looking to see if I have a bruise on my back.  No.  Nobody beat me.  Feels like it. It was the chair that I sat in when I got my pedicure.  It was a massage chair and I thought it was really nice working on my back but when I woke up this morning, I felt like I got punched in the back.  I don't know if that was a great thing. I think I pissed off the guy at the front desk for texting him about a receipt.  I explained I needed it so I could get reimbursed. I checked my spam mail and finally I said could you please email it to me and he did.  He made me feel like a cheap ass.  Maybe I am a cheap ass.  I don't know. The place seemed cramped.  It was kind of unfriendly except for the woman sitting next to me. I liked talking to her.  It just didn't feel like a great fit.  Do I regret doing something nice for myself?  No.  This just maybe wasn't the...

What a Wild Night

 So David Crowley won?  Wow.  Wow.  Wow.  Well.  He's got my support and my vote.  I don't know if I have the enthusiasm for him though after seeing the video state representative Chris Larson posted about what Crowley has done for Milwaukee.  I think well, we'll get a new county executive when he wins.  I'm saying he'll win because I believe in the power of positive thinking in this situation.  I can't afford Temu Trump.  On the flip side, I'm disappointed at how things went in the last month for this election. I get it.  I wasn't riding the Hong train like others but I thought well I have no problem voting for her.  I hate that people like Bill Maher and those jackasses from Pod Save America made fun of her for the old tweets.  You don't read Truth Social, boys?  Arrogant pricks.  I worried she would be torn apart like women can be for admitting she was treated for a bipolar disorder. I say again.  Lo...

Primary Anxiety Day

I guess I can't feel too bad about who wins because I didn't vote for anyone in the primary.  My person dropped out.  I'm nervous about the candidates who will win. I was thinking maybe David Crowley was the better person until I watched a video of some of the things he's done.  I was worried about Francesca Hong and some of the backlash she's received from her old tweets.  Look at the toddler in office on his platform.  Are we really going to nitpick something from 7 years ago?  I feel sick from the whole primary mess.  Just win in November.  I don't want to move to Michigan. I'm finally going for my first pedicure in 4 years.  I think I liked the fact that I could make the appointment online.  I hated calling the old place since the owner had his son answering the phone.  He messed up a couple of times when I made appointments.  Nice owner.  It's just things got complicated.  If this is a nice salon I can come back ...

The Return of the Anxiety Queen

Nobody knew I wasn't writing last week.  It's my announcement to me that I've returned. Last week was just a weird mix of emotions.  I think writing is good for me but there's also moments where I should step away and not think so much.  Or dwell.  Or whatever.  I had some postings where I'm like OMG I sound like such a Debbie Downer. That's life.  It's just up and down and all around.  I just needed my mind to have a break.  I ended my work week freaking out and I'm still kind of worried about something.  I think the person who makes my eye twitch missed something but I may not have been the reason.  It was showing up on their calendar but when I talked to the person, it had the event in my name and I think did I do something?  WTF?  I wanted to cry.  I had a mini meltdown. Making mistakes is going to happen.  It's how my mistakes have been handled by others.  It's the fear of someone else's reaction and I haven...
