Sleeping Late

I must have been in a fog when I woke up at my normal time. I normally give Ms Precious her small bit of cream cheese and I'll crawl back into bed and maybe close my eyes for a few minutes before I start the day.

Today, that turned out to be an hour.  Oops.  This is why I probably get up earlier than I should.  It would have been ok even if I set it for 6 instead of 5.  It's not like I got to drive on the freeway, just to the dining room area.  Extra sleep is never a bad thing.  

I was annoyed between JD Vance and his ignorant comments about immigrants and Sarah Huckabee Sanders with her comments about Kamala Harris not having kids.  I'm so sick of that because you don't have kids, you don't count like everyone else.  I have gotten that crap for 30 plus years.  You're not as important.  You don't have your own family.  It's my choice if I didn't want kids and I don't need a reminder that at one point I would have liked kids.  I also would have liked someone in my life that I could have counted on as a partner but that didn't happen.  It just made me angry seeing it yesterday.  A reminder that I wasn't good enough with people and that I didn't qualify for having extra time off because I don't have a family.  

I love that Kamala Harris married at the age she did.  I love her blended family and how she attends synagogue with Doug and he attends church with her.  I love that the ex-wife isn't a shrew and has stuck up for Kamala.  Kind of rare to see that, but a testament to what good humans they all are.  Families can be different than your standard view.  I'm so tired of the ignorant statements that keep coming out that if you don't have kids, you just don't count.

It also doesn't mean that you don't care about people.  I am heartbroken about Amber Thurman.  Like why does anyone have to be near death for them to get medical treatment?  She's got a six year old son who is left without a mother.  I don't get people on why they think that's acceptable.  It's like women don't count.  We're just disposable.

Ugh, enough of my ranting.  I am looking forward to seeing Rachel Maddow's documentary on Lev Parnas.  That looks interesting, especially the part where Hunter Biden shows up.  It makes me glad that Joe isn't running because it would have kept going about Hunter.  Where's Hunter?  Where's his laptop?  What about your kids, you Orange Goon?  And as far as immigrants eating dogs and cats, how about someone mentioning Trump's kids shooting at wildlife?  Those creeps are the ones who would eat a cat or dog.  

I'm still ranting, aren't I?  Oops.  Well no meetings today.  I got one tomorrow and hoping I don't have a repeat of what happened last week.  Thanks lurker.  Probably searching for things from 2012 that I might have said or did.  That's the real scandal.  I am struggling with writing the simplest thing because I don't know if it's going to come out wrong or not correct after this.  I just want to be me and I feel like that's not ok at the moment.

I hope the good humans have a good day.  Be you.

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.
