No Doze Friday

 Despite the fact that I didn't sleep as much as I should, I feel ok.  I got three days to make up for last night.  We had one of the news shows on and when they talked about Judge Alito, I had enough.  Normally I write my postcards and letters while TV is on and I couldn't take it.  I had started to watch the documentary about Dan Rather a few nights ago and finished.  It was great.  I forgot that Andy Cohen had worked for CBS when he got his start.  He's had Dan on his show.  I wish Dan had a show on Netflix.

I am hoping my mom gets more sleep today.  She was letting the monster get the best of her last night.  There's some weird stuff going on at the moment.  Her car, or the car he took over is gone but when I got the mail, I could hear people talking, namely her.  I wish she made him disappear.  He hid his car a year ago and the cop that talked to us said that they were going to tow it if he didn't answer the door.  So how is she getting to work then?  Strange.  So very strange.  This could be a Dateline or Netflix series.

No wild plans for me naturally.  Maybe another visit to the East branch library tomorrow to figure out their checking out books or audio books online.  I will probably hit that hill at least twice this weekend with the extra day.  I think it's safe to say that my coloring book stash is growing a little bit.  I think I have about 4 or 5 books for Charlotte, mostly Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  I'm not sure what the kids like these days, but I know she loves cats since there's three in her household so I got her a kitty cat coloring book.  Will I look for another one at Dollar Tree?  These are the questions that I'll be debating this weekend while many people will be travelling, getting together and being sociable.  What coloring book should I get next?  Disney Princesses or a puppy coloring book?  Exciting stuff.

I am hoping that it is a quiet day that I can catch up on emails and make some progress.  

Just feel really relieved this week to have another medical thing off my list, check mark and feel better about it.  I wish I felt better about the situation downstairs.  I heard all this hoopla about the DOJ suing what is it?  Ticketmaster?  Sigh.  Concert fees?  I agree, there's a lot of junk fees we pay for but I wish there was more focus on housing and less on being able to afford to go see Taylor Swift.  Is it like a $1000?  I was surprised when I found out that people paid $180 to see Pink when she was here awhile back.  I heard she puts on a great show but that goes to show how much I know. I figured maybe a $100.  Maybe if I wanted to sit in the parking lot and watch it, I guess.  I agree there's a lot of junk fees we pay for like on our cell phone bills and internet.  How about the cost of rent please?  And landlords?  

I am going to make the best out of a three day weekend.

I hope all the good humans have a good day and get to enjoy the long weekend.

Way Past My Bedtime

 I crashed before Reverend Raphael Warnock's speech.  The power of DVR saved me. I watched it this morning right up to the point where I had to sign in.  It was fantastic.   Hillary was great.  My mom was crying.  It meant a lot to her to have Hillary win that election and she was crushed. I was crushed.  She always fan girls over Hillary.  It was hard for me to decide in 2008 do I go with Barack or Hillary?  She gave a phenomenal speech. I had to watch Joe this morning.  No, I didn't cry like I usually did.  I got a little teary eyed when his daughter finished her speech and introduced him.  That nice man made sure his little boys had a dad that came home every night after they lost their mom and baby sister.  He took his oath of office by their bedsides.  He got a second chance with Jill and having a daughter.  He's such a good human.  Yeah, he looks 81.  He lit that stage on fire with a torch....

The Dark Things

I sometimes wonder about this when I'm in a brooding mood about how I got treated at a low time in my life.  Or lowest. Would people have been relieved if I just died?   Really.  I have thought the answer was yes.  I'm not talking about my family. I am talking about those who made their discomfort known to me.   They could have had some fake ceremony and a moment of silence.  There wouldn't have been a funeral so they could have forgotten about that part.  They would have excelled at pretending to care about my life if I wasn't here. Then, I had to go do something stupid and survive.  How do we deal with that?  My mentor even mentioned to me, well, you know, none of us have dealt with someone being sick.  Oh, should I get a fucking manual for that?  Excuse the F bomb but that was warranted. When I got my schedule for radiation therapy, I had wanted to talk to my manager about it and find out if it was ok.  I had gotte...

So Here's the Weekend

 I was having a wishful thinking moment last night when I was writing my postcards.  I was wishing for my imaginary friend that has shades of Stephen Colbert mixed in to show up and go for a walk on this humid July night.  We would talk and maybe check out the food trucks that were at the Farmer's Market last night.  Maybe they would be ok.  Maybe they wouldn't.  We would be getting out of the house and just talking about how our week went for both of us. Maybe we would stop at Pick n' Save and get my mom something she asked for.  He would always know how to talk to my mom and he would be someone she's really comfortable around like Charlie.  We would maybe see Charlie mowing the lawn on his usual Friday night task and talk to him. He might have plans with his kids in the morning so we say our good night with a hug or maybe even something else.  No, I'm not going salacious here.  Get your mind out of the gutter.  Maybe we'd see each...
