Anxious

It's Friday. I should not be anxious but I am.  Big difference between the Friday on a work week and Friday on a staycation week.  It means Monday isn't too far around the corner.  BOO!

Part of me is anxious to get back to it.  I do feel ok about emails.  I did my best.  The lurker?  No.  I anticipate something.  I'll deal with it.

The week before, I had to take something to calm my nerves more than one day and I didn't like that feeling.  This week, I didn't have to and I liked that.  I can't say I've felt extreme joy every minute of time away but I didn't have that panicked, sweating and shaking kind of feeling I had at times.  I'll take that as a big win this week.  It doesn't matter if you go on a trip or stay at home, everyone needs that time mentally, emotionally and physically.  Life can be a lot and if you don't take those breaks, you'll crash.  I was crashing the week before.  I'll have time off after the election and hopefully I won't be packing for another country who'll take me.

I do have to take another eBay sale to the post office.  I'll maybe hit up West Milwaukee this morning for that before I venture off to climb my hill.  I filled out a lost mail form for my sister's birthday card.  She never got it and I'm so angry.  It had a Dollar Tree gift card.  She finds most of her craft tools from Dollar Tree and she makes beautiful crafts and sometimes Charlotte helps her. I thought it would be something nice to say thank you for all the stuff her and my brother in-law did for us while they were here with getting the Ring cameras set up.  Same post office that lost our rent check.  Years ago, I mailed my state refund at that post office and they got it so I had to do it a second time.  Safe to say I'll go to any post office if I can other than my own neighborhood one.  

It appears that the birds found my car yesterday and left me presents.  Maybe they know the monster lives downstairs and thought I'd get lonely if I didn't have reminders of him.  My mom filled up a spray bottle of water for me to clean it. I got paper towels in the car. I had a spray to clean up stuff but I had it freeze during a cold spell.  One of the people that did our Wal-Mart grocery pick up pointed out I had a frozen bottle in the trunk.  At least the trunk smelled nice.  Oh well.

I will make the most out of the day.  I will be glad to be home later and just enjoy not doing anything.  Sometimes it's ok just to take it all in and be appreciative.  I worked hard and feel fortunate to have the amount of time that I do.  Not everyone gets that.

I hope the good humans have a good day.  I'll do the same.

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.
