Boring Sunday and I Am Really Ok with that

 Happiness was finding my Sun Chips with Cheese and Tomato flavor and watching a documentary on Britney Spears and her dad.  I did return my book. I didn't get the walking in like I normally like, but I got my 10,000 steps going from store to store using my ShopKick app.  I just wanted to drive and feel ok with driving.  I did not take any freeways.  

I had wondered if I should have stopped at the clinic in my neighborhood to see if I was ok on Friday. I didn't think of it until this morning, but I feel ok and I know that doesn't mean anything.  I had gotten some pain pills, maybe like a jacked up version of Aleve and something else, but I stopped with the something else pill after a couple of days.  I was ok. I had three sessions of physical therapy and since then I've been ok.  Off and on, I don't have great days but they're not bad.  Just aches and I'm exactly 25 or 45.  I felt more shock and thankful that it was the passenger side and that I didn't have a passenger either.  

I wanted to take the freeway home after I returned my book but the North Avenue entrance was closed so I took MLK Drive over to downtown and found my way back to Stallis.  Part of me wanted to see if there as a semi like the one that I saw and part of me never wants to see that type of semi.  I guess baby steps is a good thing and I'm hoping what I got from the license plate might lead to something. I am doubtful.

When I stopped at Wal-Mart near St. Luke's, there was a man standing out in the parking lot watching me.  Freaked me out and pointed to my car.  He has a body shop and handed me his car.  He said that they could fix my car and take care of the deductible.  I was kind of taken aback and I said this was from a semi on Friday.  He said I had a nice car and it was a shame that happened.  He said his wife had the same thing happen.  I thanked him and went my way.

No, I'm not calling.  Yeah.  Loyalty.  I remember when I strayed the last time.

What he said about his wife struck something weird with me.  When I got hit from behind seven years ago, the guy was panicked and said He was so sorry, his wife had the same thing happen to her.  Is that a standard line to lie to a woman in these situations?  I don't know.  I googled the reviews and they were good on Google.  I don't know about the other sites.  They had one that was super negative and about 4 months ago.  I got a plan and I'm sticking with it.  I'm going to the dealership on Thursday afternoon.  I've been burned too many times.

I was relieved to be at home and have my chips and watch Below Deck Med Season 2.  I hadn't seen all the seasons but this one I had watched when it was on.  Sometimes a trashy Bravo binge helps relieve the stress of life.  My mom has the news on.  Hard pass on it for now.  It'll be on tomorrow morning though.

I hope the week goes by ok and I hope I hear from my insurance company. 

I got a picture of my sister's dog Daisy who will be one of my sidekicks for a week.  I'll be running an animal daycare center for a week and I'm so ok with it.  My nephew will be chaperoning us all and we'll be watching lots of game shows.

It'll all be ok.  I didn't cry today.  Tomorrow might change that once I see my emails.  At least nobody can get jealous that I had a fun time on my day off.

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...

Blue Evening

We took a drive to see a place in Bay View. I was kind of familiar with the address, but I wasn't sure. I found it.  It was not great. According to my Ring alerts, it's near an area with crime.  It was in our price range. I just can't seem to shake this funk I'm in.

Know Who You Are

 I am struggling a bit with a new work assignment. I've bounced around to working with new groups since the pandemic and it's been alright, but it's been a little difficult with balancing when I just feel off with how much I"m doing.  I have my mojo somedays and somedays I don't know why I gout out of bed.  Today was that day. I got shamed by a mistake.  It wasn't that the person called me, they copied a few people to let me know I. AM. STUPID.  And no, I don't take it personal. It comes with the territory when it comes to the work that I do.  I like being behind the scenes and assisting but it seems to be that my kind can feel the wrath of when things go wrong.  Or sometimes all that we juggle is not enough.  We are the recipient of a bad day if someone has a fight with a spouse or a child and get told, it's better it happened to you than their family member.  Lucky me. Glad I'm not a family member. The worst came with someone who I reported...
