The Invisible Woman Chronicles

 I had a frustrating night with Honey Bear.  I wound up going to sleep crying and missing Precious. I know they are two different cats.  It's been a hard adjustment with Honey Bear. She can very sweet but she runs a lot from you.  There are trust issues she has and we were set back as well by Kringle being here.  Kind of wished that they would have had someone keep an eye on Kringle.  Not his fault.  This is a cat that has probably had some trauma and she was just getting used to us before he stayed with us. My mom was upset because she ran under my bed when she went into pet her.  Honey Bear has taken to my room and has kind of kicked me out of my side of the bed.  I told her that she does it to me as well. Sometimes she can be super sweet and sometimes she'll get up and go under the bed.  I hate that.  I said you're too cute for us not to see her.  I knew it upset my mom. I could hear her blowing her nose in the bathroom....

 It's not easy being me.  Today is one of those days. I was feeling a little hopeful that I could make progress with weight loss.  I said yes to doing one of the medications and I knew there would be roadblocks.  Once things got sorted out, I was denied.  It was a fast denial.  There's another option that involves me seeing another medical provider.  Kind of sucks but I think how come I got to jump through so many hoops all the time? When I went to the pharmacy, I was a little surprised at the cost of the new prescription. I think I had this years ago and I don't think it cost that much.  I'm not blaming anyone.  Just my insurance.  What changed?  It wasn't horrible but I was hoping it was a 3 month supply.  The weight thing is weighing on me.  I think how can I not be a candidate?  Found out I was right and I am pre-diabetic.  I may need a test in the future involving my heart.  I am at risk for being at a ...

 I really regret that I left my old clinic after yesterday.  What a difference. I was frustrated I couldn't see my doctor when I could or got sent to the clinic down the street that I thought I should have changed. I should have just changed to a nurse practitioner at the time. I didn't realize I could have them as a primary.  They were the ones I usually saw at times unless they were booked. There are some changes that will be made and things I didn't realize I had.  I finally got something cut down in milligrams after I was told no previously that I had the right dosage.   Sigh.  Yeah, sometimes change can be hard.  Sometimes it can save your life. I'll be ok.  Just really glad I changed.  

 I'm not this pouty person if someone doesn't remember my birthday. I got to admit, I'm a little surprised at someone for not saying anything.   The thing is, I see attention for other relatives online or find out accidentally and I think, did I do something wrong? I know that's not the case.  It's just am I important enough for just a short message. No.  That hurts.  When you see the attention for those who aren't so nice and who have actually done quite hurtful things to this person, it doesn't help me. I think how is it more important to be in their good graces? Well.  I don't matter. Things like this?  Make me sad.  Maybe I'm wrong but got a feeling I'm invisible again this year.

 Yep.  I'll be back at the post office on Saturday.  New races in 2027, mostly mayor or local elections.  I know things won't start again until after the new year, but never hurts to have a few postcard sheets set aside and ready for when it starts again. Local elections matter!  I realize my postcards or letter writing may not make a big difference.  It helps me stay sane.  It's my creative arts therapy.  My penmanship has improved since doing this. See you on Saturday.  I got work to do.

 Here I am, crying again after the election results.  This time it's a really good morning and it's happy tears.  I didn't think we would get back to this place.   I had a moment of panic as well as my mom when the early vote was coming in for WI governor's race.  My mom seemed resigned but I told her he won.  Crowley won!  I think watching Steve Kornacki got on her nerves.  It got on my last nerve.  Might as well have watched CNN for crying out loud.  It made me mad when he would do by county and I'm like I want to know statewide!  They really weren't focusing on the governor's races so much.  Just maybe a blip and a little bit of attention to Keisha Lance Bottoms winning the governor's race in Georgia.  That was and is still fantastic.  I'm so happy to hear that and it was such a great way to start off the night with Jon Ossoff winning re-election.  Thank goodness. The other wins - Adam Hamilton in Kansas,...
