A Day Off from People

Badly needed.  I did see people.  Just not the ones that annoy me.  Namely one.  I don't even see them, really. I feel their essence of spying.

Enough of that.  I found out what eyebrow tinting is.  I'm good.  It might be nice if I was going somewhere and it make my eyes look more dramatic, but eh, tried it, it's nice.  It was just really really nice to lie on their heated bed or whatever that thing they use to have you lie down while they separate your eyebrows.  I'm all about being able to lie down and relax for a few minutes.  I did make an appointment with the girl that did my $7 wax and tint, but unfortunately I might have to pay a few more dollars.  Damn.  It's ok. I'll go at the end of next month. It's funny that my hair is getting greyer but my eyebrows look younger.  I have the occasional stray grey in my eyebrows.  Not now!

I got my steps in for the day and came home. I just wanted to sit and watch TV and forget.  I'm super tired of the beeping.  It's got to be their smoke alarm downstairs.  I hope the beeping ends soon because the insanity seems never ending with that monster.  Glad he's gone for the day.

I am watching Bill Clinton.  This is the Bill I love, taking jabs at Trump swaying back and forth being two months younger than Frumpy Dump.  I see the signs for Harris and Walz all around Milwaukee and it makes me breathe a little relief.  Then I read the Find Me the Votes book on my iphone and I get worried.  Just want someone to say it'll be ok!  

I have been listening to John Dean's book on Audible, Blind Ambition.  Is that really a good book to listen to at this time?  I wasn't sure if my mind would wander being that it wasn't John Dean reading it but the guy that's reading the book sounds like a younger John Dean - George Newbern.  The Nixon seems like nothing to what we have now.  

I got some compound W from Amazon because I just had enough of my foot hurting.  I thought ok, it'll hurt with that stuff on it, but I got to try something.  I'm going to try it tonight after I take my bath and see if it helps.  I don't know who can help me with this but I'm going to guess I probably can't afford them.  I'm just grateful that I don't have to push any appointments back once the new year starts.  I just got to remember to make them! 

I stopped at the pet store to get a nice big of treats that Precious likes. I got to see one of those bulldogs, kind of a caramel color.  Cute little guy and I think a poodle puppy?  I'm not sure with dogs.  It always puts a smile on my face when I see the dogs in the store.  I have been feeling a little worried about Precious after my mom weighed her.  I just want her to be happy and I think not getting dragged out to vets will make her happy.  My mom thinks that vet lied to us.  I don't know.  I just don't want to make her life miserable and she was miserable.  So was I.  She's my tiny tiger.  It was so nice to be typing away and trying to figure out what to do next while she was sunning herself on that stand next to me, happy that the window was open while I sneezed.  Totally worth it.

I have 5 postcards to write and I'll be done. I cancelled some of my sign ups for text banking because well, I'm tired and I keep forgetting.  I will keep doing my North Carolina voter one in the mornings and I'll be doing one for Vote Riders the weekend before the election.  

It was really nice to see Corinne and her husband this week.  I hope we get to see them next spring.  It's been a bright spot for the week.  I am so happy that Corinne found her happily ever after.  My mom just loved them.

I think that's all the visitors we'll get for now.  It sounds like my sister and brother in-law might have found a home, or a mobile home, I think that they're interested in.  I am happy for them.  I hope it works out.

I just long for a bath tub that doesn't leak.  Someday, I'll get my happily ever after, ha ha.  At least my eyebrows look um, interesting.  Maybe I can freak some people out on Zoom!

Way Past My Bedtime

 I crashed before Reverend Raphael Warnock's speech.  The power of DVR saved me. I watched it this morning right up to the point where I had to sign in.  It was fantastic.   Hillary was great.  My mom was crying.  It meant a lot to her to have Hillary win that election and she was crushed. I was crushed.  She always fan girls over Hillary.  It was hard for me to decide in 2008 do I go with Barack or Hillary?  She gave a phenomenal speech. I had to watch Joe this morning.  No, I didn't cry like I usually did.  I got a little teary eyed when his daughter finished her speech and introduced him.  That nice man made sure his little boys had a dad that came home every night after they lost their mom and baby sister.  He took his oath of office by their bedsides.  He got a second chance with Jill and having a daughter.  He's such a good human.  Yeah, he looks 81.  He lit that stage on fire with a torch....

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...

So Here's the Weekend

 I was having a wishful thinking moment last night when I was writing my postcards.  I was wishing for my imaginary friend that has shades of Stephen Colbert mixed in to show up and go for a walk on this humid July night.  We would talk and maybe check out the food trucks that were at the Farmer's Market last night.  Maybe they would be ok.  Maybe they wouldn't.  We would be getting out of the house and just talking about how our week went for both of us. Maybe we would stop at Pick n' Save and get my mom something she asked for.  He would always know how to talk to my mom and he would be someone she's really comfortable around like Charlie.  We would maybe see Charlie mowing the lawn on his usual Friday night task and talk to him. He might have plans with his kids in the morning so we say our good night with a hug or maybe even something else.  No, I'm not going salacious here.  Get your mind out of the gutter.  Maybe we'd see each...
