Changing Things Up

I have my routine or have on the weekends for the most part.  Go hit a few stores, then go take a drive over to Lake Michigan and go for a walk.  Then go home and maybe I'd take my mom for our big grocery store trip.  Repeat and repeat.  I repeat myself a lot.  I am aware of that.  I am aware of that.

We did go to a couple of stores in the morning.  She liked the idea of having the place to herself for the afternoon.  Really?  Got a secret boyfriend I don't know about?  She is normally the late sleeper and sometimes wake up time will be when I get home at 11:00 in the morning.  I know she keeps odd hours sometimes but she's usually upset that she slept so late.  

I drove to my spot and walked the hill while listening to my Audible pick, Jennifer Grey's book.  She was kind of a slut when she was a teen.  Holy smokes was she ever and into the coke.  It's a delicious listen, I'll say that and I always knew Matthew Broderick was a 65 year old man in disguise. Ferris Bueller is one of my favorites.

I did watch some of the show my sister recommended and got through a couple more episodes. It's a light romantic comedy.  He's a rabbi, she's a podcaster that talks about sex.  Makes sense, right?  I am learning what some words mean like mitzvah means good deed?  That's kind of cool.  I'm afraid the length of my familiarity with language associated with the Jewish community is Mazel and Andy Cohen.  Yeah, I'm ashamed.  Good show. I'll watch more tomorrow. 

I stopped at a Dollar Tree in my old neighborhood for a couple of things and noticed the Christmas decorations out, or as I'm going to say or try to say going forward, holiday decorations. I liked seeing the Halloween stuff. I don't care for the gory stuff, but I do like seeing the cute spooky cat decorations or ghosts.  Nothing with a decapitated head.

I'm always curious about people with their Halloween costumes.  Barry and his wife loved doing their costumes.  They were really creative.  His wife dressed like Rosario from Will & Grace.  She had her maid uniform, Members only jacket and black sneakers.  I thought that was great.  Barry got mad when I commented on his Evel Knivel outfit one year.  He blocked me from seeing the picture on Facebook after I commented that it was nice that he finally had a chest hair.  I didn't comment on the picture. I told him, we still kept in touch after he left like months later and he sent me an email letting me know that he was punishing me from his costume by blocking me from seeing the picture.  What an ass.  Lighten up, Barry.

I look forward to seeing Charlotte's costume.  She went as a doughnut last year and what was so funny a couple of kids in the pictures I got showed two kids dressed as cops looking at her.  It's a fun time. 

I had gotten a message from Corinne that her and her husband may possibly be making a trip to Milwaukee.  Her sister needs some paperwork for some trip they may take to Canada.  They went to some bison ranch this week.  I didn't know there were so many things you could do in Wisconsin.  I said we would love to see them.  I said hide her dogs because my mom will want to bring them home.  I knew they were having problems with their winnebago but I am hoping I can see them.  I feel bad that I might not see my sister and brother in-law this fall, but I understand.

It would be nice to see them so I'm not sitting at the computer repeating myself again.  Or repeating myself again.  

I look forward to seeing Saturday Night live tomorrow.  No way will I make it tonight.  I live for Weekend Update.  Everything else is a crap shot.  

It's been a different day.

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.
