People Connection

 I got to fix my work set up.  It's a mess.  I actually work at a table.  I don't have a desk. I call it my Playskool desk.  It was smaller but my mom and I pulled up a table from the basement and it's a lot better.  She also got me a new desk chair that's kind of not put together so great. I got to fix this chair.  It's like the side keeps wanting to go out.  I digress. I think I have a different expectation of friendship than I think most people have.  I am not saying it's better.  I'm saying it's different.  I think social media has warped a lot of us.  We get caught up in likes, getting giggly because a celebrity liked something we said in their comments.  Sometimes we forget about the people in our real lives.  Social media can be real hurtful.  You look for cues when someone doesn't respond in a message and yet you see them online. Years ago, I was able to use a messenger service that Harold and I could com...

Sunday Funday at Walmart

 It was more like chaotic and get me the bleep out of here Walmart today.   We got our first delivery.  It missed one of the items and we got a refund.  They didn't have a few other things but so be it.  I realized that I had a different Walmart selected that is known for empty shelves.  My mistake.  First time user.  Won't do that again.  I liked the idea of delivery though. I hated that I wound up at Walmart on Miller Parkway to find the things that we were missing. I didn't have to do it.  My mom was upset and me being the people pleaser thought, well, I can run to the store.  She caught me in the hall and told me I didn't need to do it.  I said it's ok.  Getting out of the house is never a bad thing for me, unless it's Wal-Mart on Miller Parkway. It's not the worst store in the world, but it seems like there's a whole different type of crazy that comes out after noon at that store.  I came across a woman curs...

Not Having it Today

No dancing in the rain today.  This is solid messy rain.  I figured I can at least get a few errands done this morning and try again tomorrow.  I did the usual.  Picked up litter for the queen.  Got a few basics that we needed. I thought I'd stop and get a sheet of postcard stamps at the West Milwaukee post office.  Sometimes they have them.  Sometimes they don't.  I thought if they don't, I'll get a book of stamps since I have letters to write.  It didn't matter.  I made the mistake of stepping towards one window and the woman put her hand up and motioned to the sign.  It said wait to be called.  I apologized and stepped back.  I wasn't paying attention.  My mistake. I stepped back for a moment and walked out.  I could see both clerks looking at me.  I didn't do an angry walk.  I just left.  Why?  I just didn't feel like it today.  I don't think I'm an inconsiderate person. I admit my mi...

Girl's Girl

It didn't surprise me to find out the diva was a former cheerleader.  The stereotype fits.  It wasn't true in all cases when I went to school.  There were a few that were actually nice to a dork like me and even talked to me.  Others?  Not so much.  It wasn't really the cheerleaders who were so bad.  It was the pom pom girls.  They irritated the hell out of me and they really didn't do much.  They just did this kind of skippity dance that anyone could do. I was actually going to try out in the 9th grade and I twisted my back funny.  It was all my dancing at Studio 54 I guess.   Yeah.  I'm feeling better after I got my feelings out an hour ago.  Stupid neighbor.  Stupid people. The cheerleaders did flips and more athletic stuff where the pom pom girls acted like they were super models.  I could see the diva being a pom pom ding dong. The diva used to tell me she's a girls girl and we should all watch out for ...

Talk to Me

I don't know why this is bothering me today.  This is something that's just hitting a nerve for some reason. Today when I went for my walk, I saw my next door neighbor.  He actually lives a block over with his girlfriend but he still comes over to get away from her and her mother.  Sounds like a swell guy right?  He can be a crab and has been weird with us over the years.  Lately he's gotten weirder.  I actually saw him one night kitty corner from the street I was going to walk down.  I saw him turn his back at the corner.  I thought is it because he sees me?  Sure enough when I crossed the street and headed east, I turned at one point and saw him cross the street.  Ok.  All I would have said was hello.  Is that such an awful thing? Today, when I stepped out, I said hey, Dave and walked past.  He saw me and never said anything.  The guys have a security camera on the garage so they might get a chuckle hearing me say, ...

And it Gets Stranger

Now Mandela Barnes is out of the race for governor.  Damn.  I didn't realize my mom had called me on my walk.  I have my phone in my pocket.  I'm thinking about what I need, getting it and getting out.  I was more surprised that there's a scandal of sexual misconduct and financial issues.  I asked my mom, Is that why he talked to us?  Was he hitting on you?  My mom has that affect on younger men, I guess. Still shaking my head over the weird dream.  I know I was relieved when I woke up and found out it was a dream.  Yeah. I was a please pick me girl for a long time.  Now I don't care.  Now I'm a Oh.  You noticed that I exist?  Cool. Tonight on my walk I got the attention I didn't want.  I got asked if I ever went into this bar.  Some guy was trying to find a bar to hang out.  I had my ear buds in and shook my head.  I saw him walk past me when I headed back. I saw him go into Ope! and hoped he stay...

What a Strange Weird Day

I woke up this morning from a really weird dream.  I think I was in San Diego and I was getting off the elevator with my stuff when I was greeted by a bunch of people.  Harold was in the group. I think a classmate from school was there too.  When I got settled into my hotel room, Harold was sitting next to me on the bed and showed me a ring.  He whispered, I'm going to marry you.  Here's the funny part, his wife came into my room carrying a suitcase.  I whispered I love you before she came in. Then they all left.  I showed up at some event that they had late and sat at a table with Harold and his wife and some of their friends.  I didn't sit near them. I watched them as they were being celebrated by someone.  I think it was a faith event which sounds insane because Harold is probably an atheist.  Weird. What does it mean?  I have no idea.  No. I don't love him.  I think his wife would beat the snot out of me if I ever even...
