Fresh Air Tuesday

Just realized there was an open window next to me.  We opened it up over the weekend to get fresh air.  That air was a little too fresh.  And cold.  Glad the temps have dropped a bit and I can pull out a sweater today.  Switch it up between my Senator Fetterman hoodies.  

I told my mom she has no choice but to come over after work and see Corinne and her two dogs.  She will love Corinne and her husband. I would have stayed longer if it wasn't getting so dark and well, I was worried about mom.  She was tearful and worried.  She's talking about us moving to Wausau again.  I don't know what the right answers are but glad I cancelled Sling.  I have it until November 5th, how ironic.  I did tune into Lawrence O'Donnell and probably will before my subscription ends. I was listening to the podcast that they do with all the MSNBC shows and I kind of missed seeing the show.   Damn it, Lawrence.  You make me spend $42 bucks a month to hear you make it better!  It's ok.  I need to cut corners and out of all the streaming that was the most expensive.  My mom thought it was too much until I told her what other services charge.  I said we can watch the other news stations if we need to know anything. I think getting her SNAP benefits cut so significantly has hurt her in the pride department.  We have had moments where she wouldn't get premium paid and one year they took more money out of her account for I have no idea, but it was just awful.  

To think that Trump could be in office is terrifying.  It is to me and it's always in the back of my mind.  Corinne and her husband said there's no way he's going to win.  We can't listen to the polls.  I know.  So much information being thrown at us.  I got an Audible book I can listen to this morning.  I might turn on Jim Acosta if my mom is still sleeping but she likes him too.  She can watch what she wants to watch.  I just like having noise in the background. Not sure if I like having the sound of Trumps voice in my background.  Gross.  

I think seeing Corinne will cheer her up.  Corinne and I talked about feeling like misfits in the group and how happy she was when she left.  I said it's like starting a new job without starting a new job not having anyone from the office in my life anymore.  Our manager  was a mean girl and made our lives difficult. I told her that she was being spied on her Facebook page after she left.  She laughed at it.  She's happy and her husband is such a hoot. I think my mom will get a kick out of him. I know she'll ask a lot of questions about England.  She'll love the dogs.  One sat by me so patiently while I petted her last night.  Both so sweet.

I am hoping my day goes by ok.  All of the behind tasks are in my area.  Yay me.  I kept hoping someone would give me an assist but that didn't seem to happen.  Doing my best and just trying.  After talking to Corinne, I'm reminded of what it was like for us back in the office.  I'm good now.  

Here's hoping the good humans have a good day.

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...
