The Invisible Woman Chronicles

Glad the week is over.  I think I just had enough. Today, I wished for my own place.  Well a place for me and mom.  And Precious.  I was annoyed when I came back from the store at lunch.  Charlie was home and he was doing yard work. I felt like an intruder when I pulled into the garage.  I hadn't expected him to come out before I got home.  I didn't know what to do. I hated it. I felt like I was the intruder.   He's just awkward and I shouldn't be mad or annoyed. I think he's very shy and doesn't know what to say to either of us.  He talked to my brother in-law. I just joked I accidentally hit a garbage can and I usually hit ours.  He just told me to leave the garage door open.  Like a dad. I can't talk to him about the bath tub.  We're worried about a rent increase and my mom will lose her mind and so will I if we have someone replace that bath tub.  I just wished I lived somewhere else today.  The guys aren't b...

Not fun to be part of global warming but here we are with another smoky day.  I went to the store real quick yesterday and had a mask on for the short time I was out.  I feel bad for anyone that has to be outdoors.  This is insane.  I have a feeling it'll be like this for a few days until Monday when we get rain.  Yeah.  I'm tired of upside down world. I hated I had bad feelings this week about someone.  There are some things that would horrify people if I put it all down.  It's complicated and yet, I feel bad when I have those thoughts because I do care. I do love the person. I don't think they want what's best for me.  It's like I said.  Complicated.   I have good hopes for my daily life. I don't think I'll be left on an island like I was before. I don't think I'll feel shamed like I was before.  Despite the diva and Regina, I might not feel the same way like I did before.  I think someone sees with more clarity tha...

 Well it was more like a tough night on the emotions.  The day went just fine.  It was the night when you think you can relax and you see what's happening in the news. You don't even have to turn on the news.  You can just take a peek at Threads and see what's happening. I'm so sick of the 2020 election lying.  Now two good senators from Georgia are going to be called illegitimate.  Sigh.  I think that just broke me.  When does this stop? I remember that election and getting excited that there was a possibility that Georgia could go to these two really decent humans.  My mom had left me a note that Jon Ossoff's race wasn't called yet but was leaning towards him.  Then we had January 6th to take it away. The first time I ever text banked was for Raphael Warnock's re-election.  I was so excited when they called the race for him.   I'm just tired of lying being acceptable.  It got to me last night.  They flood the z...

 My mom was trying to get something out from the passenger seat this weekend.  She said it felt like I dropped a bottle of lotion and she couldn't get it out.  She could see it. I didn't think anything of it until yesterday. I wondered what it was so when I pulled into the parking lot at Walmart, I walked around to the side of the car and tried to see what it was. It was my Airpods.  I'll be damned.  I thought I lost them in the parking lot at West Allis Memorial three months ago.  I was convinced someone had them and I was just plain out of luck.   They work.  I was worried if I charged them, it might not work being that it sat in my car for three months. I feel like a diva for complaining that I lost them.  I had them for four years and I worried that maybe I'd lose them.  I thought well.  I had four years.  Maybe I can get another pair.  I have alternatives but they weren't the same. It was a big deal.  I was ...

Sometimes the internet isn't all bad.  I'm not referring to the news about Lindsay Graham.  That?  I'm surprised.  This is more about social media, I guess. I have one classmate who generally makes me laugh unexpectedly at his posts.  He's in the military and in southern California.  His wife was a former CSI agent?  I'm not sure but they're both wicked smart.  He seems to have quite the life and is probably one of the nicest classmates I've had.  Yesterday, he got to take a tour of the Brady Bunch house and it was just a good laugh to see him standing on those stairs where all the kids posed at the opening of the show.    It wasn't his post that caught my attention though.  It was the person that commented that caught my attention.   Jared Shue.  I'm going with that alias.  I hadn't heard that name in years.  I clicked on his page to see what he was up to and I was disgusted.  He's a MAGA lover an...

 On the day that Stephen Colbert's show ended, I made a post on Facebook with a picture of Letterman and Colbert.  I rarely post on Facebook and I didn't realize that I should have made my settings private. I know a few of my classmates were Letterman fans and anyone who is still a social media friend is not a fan of the current administration.   I did it as kind of a therapy thing. I wish I would have realized that I made it public.  I put up a picture of Letterman and Colbert from the top of the Ed Sullivan theatre after they pitched office furniture off of it as the show was ending. This was what my post said: As a lonely kid, I would spend my summers staying up late to watch David Letterman's show.  Sometimes I would do it during school nights.  That explains the black circles under my eyes since the age of 17.  And I wasn't sure about Stephen Colbert since I didn't watch The Colbert Report.  Letterman taught me how to be a smart ass grow...
