The Invisible Woman Chronicles

 I've heard this phrase many times and I would love it if someone actually meant it.  If you need to talk, I'm here for you as a friend. Have I taken people up on this comment from time to time?  Yes.  It's really a throw away statement.  It's either no response or gee, I don't know what to say. I would love it if someone said hey, let's talk sometime.  I'll text you when it's a good time and we'll meet up. I would give my number if someone said that.  I would like it if maybe later that night, I got a message that said, Am I free Saturday morning to get some coffee?  I wouldn't play games and wait an hour.  I would yes.  I will be there. It would be lovely if that person showed up that Saturday morning and we just talked.  We just listened. So when I hear the phrase, I'm here for you as a friend?  I'm thinking, Are you really?  I'm kind of not sure if I believe it. That's where I'm at right now.  

Almost every weekend, I feel like someone purposely sets my mental health on fire by sending me incessant pictures of what's going on in their life, how much fun they're having. I took a lot of people off of Facebook because I couldn't take the constant pictures of people's vacations.  I really got to say this  - it's ok to go on vacation.  It's ok to have money!  Live your best life!  When you constantly put it all over the internet you look like a braggy ass.  I don't mind seeing these pictures.  If this is your third vacation?  STOP!  I have no interest in some of this stuff that I'm getting sent.  I would rather have a conversation exchange than to see someone on a water ride. I don't get people.

I just had a bad night of sleep.  I've been up since about 5:30.  I mean, I get up at 6 or shortly after.  I was up a few times in the middle of the night.  Honey Bear was thrilled.  She got to prance around on my bed and twirl like a maniac.  Glad she's feeling comfortable to spend time in my room.  Wish she'd sit her hyper butt down and go to sleep. I thought I'd try this new website or app that sells clothes easily. It's called Vinted.  It should be called Scammed.  I was kind of surprised when one of my fleece hoodies sold right away.  I had to fill out some additional information and it suspended my account.  For what?  I looked online and Reddit forums talked about how the same thing and they had to go through legal.  No.  I'm not doing that.  Bye bye Vinted.  I'll go back to the dumpster fire that I lovingly know as eBay.   I looked to see if there were any shoes I could sell and I just don'...

I got the blues and it's not because my staycation is almost over.  I just feel blue. Kind of started when I drove back from Bay View yesterday.  My mom had asked if my friend Josh knew of any rentals near him.  I said no and if I did, it would be out of our price range.  I miss the area, but I think the "cool crowd" ruined it for me.  I'm not sure when the trend started.  Maybe the early aughts on when businesses started moving in on KK Avenue.  We joked about KK Avenue when we went to college being rough and now it was the happening place for cool people.  The guys went to a workout place somewhere on KK.  New businesses were a great thing for the community but then it seemed like it became a trendy hipster thing.  That part of Milwaukee is pretty much working class.  Cassie's daughter was all excited about getting a room for $800 a month because the apartment was on KK Avenue.  No shock when I heard her complain she was movi...

This time it's because I actually sold something on eBay.  My big $4 sale.  Whatever.  One less thing I have to deal with and I'm ok with that.  I will get another sheet of the postcard stamps this morning.  I'll get my walking in. I got greeted by a visitor early this morning.  Honey Bear jumped into bed with me and flopped down beside me.  She's trusting me and I'm so happy for every little step she takes.  She got up after 20 minutes after I rubbed her belly and she took off.  Such a silly kitty.  I'm so glad we got her.  I still miss my tiny tiger.  It's ok.  Adopting another cat that needs a home helps everyone with the healing.  I think she's a Blue Russian cat.  I kind of wonder if she got dumped off because they said she had been exposed to another cat with feline leukemia but she tested ok.  They kept her in quarantine for 15 days and she had only been at the shelter for 18 days.  I thought no ...

 Yeah.  I dread my emails but it is what it is.  Glad to have a week off even though I didn't travel.  Didn't drive as much either thanks to high gas prices.  And why is that?  I spent the morning walking in Bay View.  I got a nice view of the city this morning from a different angle.  Don't feel too bad for me.  I'll be back to my usual walking spot tomorrow morning and probably Sunday.  Just saying my miles and making them stretch a little today.  Mom has a doctor appointment this afternoon so I figured I'd be on the go more later. Weird thing happened with her getting the covid and flu vaccines on Wednesday.  Walmart denied her.  They said Medicaid didn't cover it.  She's not on Medicaid.  We tried that this spring and she withdrew it because of her insurance policies and she wanted to keep Senior Care.  I thought am I going to spend my time on the phone trying to make sense out of nonsense?  I'm ok ...
