Worthy of Love

What a strange day it was in the news, watching Pam Bondi with her burn book.  It just made me think of high school.  Well, maybe life itself.  If you point out something a person did wrong, they come back with an insult that doesn't make any sense.   James Van Der Beek died from cancer.  I thought he was doing ok.  I watched Dawson's Creek when it came on.  It was a teen show but I liked it even in my 30s.  The fact that he was 48 is a hard thing to take.  I found out at the age of 46 and I wondered if I was going to be here at 56.  Well made it to 57 so I guess I'm ok.  I thought at the time, I'm supposed to worry about this when I'm older.  I wasn't young but I was in that age group where it just seemed not the right time. I know.  Younger people have gotten cancer and died.  I am one of the lucky ones.  I felt bad seeing that he was selling his stuff from Dawson's creek.  I know the feeling selling ...

In the Neighborhood for the Post office

My mom finally got her Homestead paperwork straightened out. I offered to take it over to the West Milwaukee post office this week and she said it could wait until Saturday morning.  I said you want me to go to the Shorewood post office and she said yes. I guess that really is becoming my new hang out.  That's pathetic. I have become extra superstitious of our mail service since our check got stolen.  It's not the first incident involving mail.  I had my state income tax get lost in the mail and I mailed it right in front of our post office.  I have had other items lost over the years and I had enough.  I don't even want to mail an eBay package there.   I always seem to get a crappy attitude when I've asked about postcard stamps.  No, we don't sell them.  They're not making them anymore.  YES THEY ARE!!!  WTF?  I've had enough of their clerks bitching at me when I have asked for them.   West Milwaukee has been ok...

Dragging Through the Week

I went for a short walk to the store tonight.  I forgot one thing so I had sunlight or fading sunlight on my side tonight.  Nice to get fresh air. Have I said that I am anxious for daylight savings because I am. I will be able to get a jump on my day once daylight kicks in. I deal with an area that doesn't do daylight savings.  Smart people.  It helps me get ahead of things because others aren't online until later in the morning so it helps.   No sign of the lurker but we did have help and a reassurance. I'll take it.  Still pissed off at the diva but it's not the distraction it was on Monday.  I'm not really sure what's going on with the lurker but I was ok with her being gone another day. We had the hearings on with Pam Bondi.  Wow.  What a bitch. I muted her a few times when my mom was at the food pantry. I only watched the exchange she had with Dan Goldman.  And what do you know, Jasmine Crocket was going at her when I had to pi...

Mid Week Daze

I didn't realize I had a text from my sister.  From Monday.  I'm in some brain fog this week.  I apologized and said well, feel like I'm in a fog.  She had pictures of Charlotte at the place they went to this weekend.  I could have paid closer attention and it might have lifted my bad mood on Monday. I'm ok today.  I am hoping I don't get reminded of what set me off in the bad mood later today when I have my monthly check in.  Oh, yay, the lurker returns.  I don't mean to be dismissive of her needing time off for as much as she had, but I wonder how honest are they being?  After working with Frick and knowing her tricks, I'm skeptical of someone like the lurker.  Maybe her and the diva can plot to find more of my mistakes.   I drove by a food truck this past Sunday with my mom to see what it was about.  Whatever it was, it must have been a big crowd because they were packing up.  My mom joked maybe I could stand in li...

Recovering from the stab wounds

I'm doing better this afternoon.  I looked to see if I had been billed yet for my recent doctor visit and I have.  I thought I'd get a bill for $180 but it shows I owe $126.  I don't know how that happens. I know it's an insurance thing.  I know it's not because I'm a nice old lady.  I'm ok with whatever the reason.  That made me happy. I sat through a webinar for our health insurance and if I understand correctly, I think biopsies, ultrasounds and MRIs are covered as preventative care.  I don't want any of that. I would hate if any of that happens this year.  It would be nice if I didn't have the added stress of how am I going to pay for this?  I think I'll be at $380 after the payment this week for last year's ultrasound.  Yeah.  Last year's ultrasound.  Sigh.  I am hoping I can get it paid off by summer and not incur any more charges that involve a payment plan.  It's depressing. I figured out how to use my dental ...

Pathetic Tuesday

Oh yeah, I'm still smarting from yesterday.  I wasn't shocked.  I am ticked off.   I know how someone like the diva thinks.  If you're nice, you're a weak person and a prime target for bullying or back stabbing.  I knew it was a sign when she admitted that she didn't want to ask me questions even though I tell her it's ok to ask me anything.  She did and mocked my voice.  Sigh. I have to remind myself there's a big difference between her and myself.  I'm not interested in followers.  I'm interested in having sincere friends.  I'm not interested in being the center of attention.  I like helping and I'm happy if someone does recognize it because sometimes the recognition helps.  When you feel kicked by say, people like the diva, it's nice when someone sees you as a decent human being.  I'm not interested in showing off.  I prefer to keep the good moments to myself because sometimes life isn't always that great for ...

Feeling like I need the censor button

It was not a good day.  Or maybe morning. I apologize for any "F" bombs that drop during this post.   You always kind of worry like is there something I forgot when I had time off or did something bad happen? I saw that I had a rejection on a filing.  It was the diva's morning to work on them.  I thought oh no. I can get it refiled. I had an influx of new files and filing and I just messed up.  Plain and simple.  When I looked closer, it appeared that the diva fixed it.  Ugh. It's fine that she did.  It was the other thing that rang an alarm bell. When we make mistakes like this, we'll get a do over or this type of task to fix things.  Fair enough.  It was from a higher up and not the person it affected. The funny thing is, anytime I've made a mistake with this particular woman, she will send me an email and ask me to fix it.  I send an email and let her know it's taken care of and she'll send me an email with a winky emoji....
