Sometimes I can figure it out

 I was having kind of a good progress kind of day. I was getting answers.  Things were working out and then all of a sudden, I couldn't type anything. I couldn't do anything and I called the help desk.  

We have had some changes the last few years and some things have been outsourced to an area where it's not always easy to understand the person that's helping you which adds to the anxiety even more.  I kept having to say I'm so sorry, I didn't hear that.  I felt bad because that individual was being helpful.  My heart sank when he took my shipping address. I thought NO.  I am not getting another laptop.  Please don't let that happen.  This has to be an easy fix. 

I thought maybe I had hit a key on accident but because this is a really nice and super fancy laptop, I had no idea where to go.  The keys I would look at were not there.  The person who helped me was able to get me to sign back in with a keyboard online. I thought maybe.  Just maybe I can get help by the time I come back from my walk. No response and I thought I might have to let someone know what's going on and that just wasn't easy.

I feel like the old person who doesn't know what she's doing sometimes and that's true, but it sucks.  It doesn't help that the lurker helped me feel that way.  I was able to bring the keyboard up and I thought if I can get the priority stuff done this afternoon, maybe there will be a solution.  I managed to get my stuff done and then I tried to type an email to test it out and whatever key I hit?  It worked.

I don't know what happened but it all worked out in the end. I don't know if I figured it out, but I managed through it.  I remembered to close out the ticket.  I don't want anyone calling me to say they're sending me a new laptop.  Nooooooo.  Not today.

So who let Anne Coulter out of her crypt and trash Gus Walz?  She's the trash.  Go away, hag.  Special place in hell for anyone who doesn't have a heart about a nice young man being so proud of his dad.  I think we all want Tim Walz as our dad.  Or our neighbor.  Especially since my neighbor sucks.

People surprised me who I didn't expect would that good.  Hakeem Jefferies calling Donald Trump an old boyfriend who won't go away was hysterical.  Oprah was great.  Really, does it shock anyone that Bill Clinton took a little longer than expected?  He was fantastic.  He made a true believer and a disillusioned believer and ah, I can kind of believe again during his time.  A flawed individual but a smart former President.  Weird thing with Nancy Pelosi.  I was kind of not feeling it. Not sure why.

I set my DVR to watch all the speeches I snooze through in the morning.  I got two Kamala t-shirts from the last election.  My pop socket on my phone is Kamala.  Some women want to get skinny to wear their bikinis.  Me?  I want to get rid of my gut so I don't stretch Kamala's shirt out.  I have goals.

Not sure what's going on with the troll neighbors downstairs.  She's been home all week and he came home early.  Maybe it's nothing but they really seem like they're squatters.  I am happy to say that the garbage people picked up that disgusting box spring he left out by the garbage can. I would have been happier to see the monster in the garbage truck.  Oh well. 

It was a productive day.  Here's to night 4 and a very uncomplicated Friday.

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...

Too Peopley

I sat in a zoom meeting when my sound was out and I noticed one of the other assistants had a T-shirt on that said It's Too Peopley outside. I wanted to ask her where she got it.  Ironically I guessed correctly to one of her responses to the questionnaire we got that asked what do you hope to do someday and she answered retire.  I go off vibes at times and that one worked.  I understood how she felt because yeah.  I feel like that. I don't dislike people.  Crowds make me anxious.  I like hitting the stores first thing in the morning because I got room.  I got space.  I can look at stuff without people hitting me with their damn carts.  Anytime I've gone later in the day on a weekend to go do my walk, I wonder where did all these people come from?  There's something peaceful when it's not that many people around. I like seeing people walking their dogs and saying hello.  When it's later in the day, it doesn't seem so enjoyable. I'm l...

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.
